Didn't have any idea where to put this, but goodness what has happened to OU. Beat Bama in the sugar bowl last year, top 5 preseason ranking and getting taken behind the woodshed by Clemson today.

I can't post link now but did anyone see Sumlin hit the WVU kid in the back of the head?! Wow. What an asshole.

I think it's Sumlin anyways.

It wasn't Sumlin. It was a GA named Mike Richardson, but not the same Mike Richardson who played for ND.

Still can't believe that Clemson shellacked OU like that. Thought the game would be much closer, just a poor showing and a bad way to begin the offseason!

The result of a combination of TO's and bad defense. Where have we seen that before, lol. Not sure Knight is going to be the guy going forward.

A lot of empty seats at the Orange Bowl, kind of surprising!

Three of the top four defenses in the SEC have now given up 108 combined points in 10 1/2 quarters. Laughable.

I think the whole SEC west is like the NFL thing is over now.

Ole Miss & Miss State's 15 minutes are over. Muschamp & Malzahn might be scary and Bama is Bama... But for the most part, the SEC West got exposed.

I do think Arkansas will be very good soon though.

Anybody else watch the Orange Bowl and suddenly get nervous about the Ga. Tech game next year?

Love watching Joe Galloway shut down Mark May on ESPN about the SEC dominance! May is such a SEC Homer!

I saw that, and he was 100% correct.

Alabama never had to justify their Playoff inclusion because, with just one loss they played in the SEC West, obviously the best conference/division in the country. They were in by association.

Well, 3 of the top 5 in the West have lost, 2 by complete blowout. Georgia, in my opinion the best looking SEC team so far, only played Auburn from the west, and housed them (and just as a reminder, lost to GT as well).

If somehow Wiscy beats Auburn (and I don't think they will), don't people have too look back and maybe question Alabama's free pass into the playoff? I still think OSU would be the team that should have been left out, but doesn't it at least raise the question?

Mark May kept pointing to how Alabama steps up when the chips were on the table? Well, so did FSU last year, went undefeated this year, and were questioned time and time again. But Bama got a pass because of the unquestioned strength of the SEC west.

Don't look so strong now.

Scared. We could get whooped! I don't know who they return but I can say they should be taken very seriously. I would assume they will be a top 10 team to start next year.

YES!

What the hell was that????

We struggle with Navy, and Navy doesn't have anyone as fast as the GA tech QB, and GA tech seems to field a legitimate defense....Damn!

I watched several of GT's games this year and their defense was really not that good. ND will have a problem stopping their offense but we should be able to score. I suspect the game will be similar to our game with Navy this past year.
