Which will be the worst P5 conference in 2017?

[Wamu]

Let's be honest. Who besides Bama is contending in the SEC?

Vanderbilt.

 

[USCDoom]

Was someone trying to claim that Texas was good or had a tougher schedule?

Neither, Complaining about Beating Losing Teams. USC faced Fewer, Beat More.

All of 'em. Just being in the SEC elevates a team automatically. Membership has it privilege ya know.

Last SEC Title
Alabama - 2016
Auburn - 2013
LSU - 2011
Florida - 2008
Georgia - 2005
Tennessee - 1998
Kentucky - 1976
Ole Miss - 1963
Mississippi State - 1941
Vanderbilt - Never
South Carolina - Never
Arkansas - Never
Texas A&M - Never

Half the SEC has not won a SEC Title in over 53 Years.

I should have used the sarcasm font!

Don't dumb down your sarcasm for the unintelligent. They are just dragging you down to their level.

 

[TexasExes98]

You are Kidding Right.

USC went 10-3 playing 6 Losing Teams
Texas Went 5-7 playing 7 Losing Teams

Major difference, Texas had the worst coach in the country who was fired. Also, I wasn't pimping out Texas at all. Just saying USC had the benefit of playing a shitty, weak schedule their last 9 games. Bama and Stanford took the Trojans behind the woodshed, ya'll seem to forget.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Baked beans should have been on the list.

Yep baked beans the "Musical Fruit".

 

[8085sooner]

Hate to say it but the BigXII again. OU should be good but not Championship Caliber. OkieLite will be good but not great. Texas will improve but almost anything is an improvement. TCU will be about the same. WVU is a wild card, so not sure. TT,KU and ISU bottom shelf. Baylor, sucks and who the fuck cares.

 

[Great Dayne]

Looking at teams that actually have a shot of making the playoffs, I see it has the Big12. I don't know if anyone outside of Oklahoma has a legitimate shot at it. PAC has USC and Washington. B1G has OSU, Penn State, and an outside shot with Wisconsin. ACC has Clemson and FSU. Now the SEC, I don't know if anyone is going to be able to beat Bama. So despite head to head results, I'll give the nod to Bama over Oklahoma.

No way is Wisconsin an "outside" shot this year when they have a drastically easier schedule than last season and were up by 4 scores in the BIG champ game despite one of the toughest schedules in the NCAA last season?

I would say they're the favorites or tied at the very least.

I would put Ohio State first as the have long been the most consistent to being high up in conference. Penn State number 2 as defending champ I will give the nod over Wisconsin. Wisconsin has probably the easiest path to the championship game, but I think for now, the other two should be ranked higher.

Don't you remember??? Ole Piss was the best two loss team, no the best 3 loss team. no the best 4 loss team, no the best 5 loss team. I think E$PN gave up before they became a 7 loss team. Vandi and MSU kicking Ole Piss ass and Georgia Southern giving them all they want. Made it too hard, for even E$PN, to claim.



All it takes is one team to prop up a conference. The ACC was looked down on, until Clemson challenged FSU, but feared when both FSU and Miami were winning. BigXII when OU and Texass are good. Not to many years ago the Big was slow, with only tOSU competing for titles. Every conference needs 2 powerful teams to be consider strong. The Pac has never gotten the respect with just USC, even when UO was winning. It was still a gimmick, not great talent as far as E$PN or the fans.

 

[sooner78wakeboard]

Judging by their lack of defense abysmal offenses and crappy bowl record. I am going with team SEC.

According to this logic, the SEC and B1G will be weak as well, as both only have 1 legit playoff contender (tOSU and Bama).

I'd put the B1G as slightly better as I feel like Penn State might have an outside shot like okie state has an outside shot.

True, but the committee has a massive hard on for the Buckeyes.

Yes they do. In terms of legit CFP contenders the top two conferences look like the PAC with Washington and USC, followed by the ACC with Florida State and Clemson by those standards.

I think Clemson takes a step back with the loss of Watson. Watson is more of a once in a lifetime player like VY or Tebow.

Oh, I agree, but the ACC isn't all that strong outside of Florida state and Louisville. I don't think it's inconceivable that they win one of those and then run the table the rest of the way.
