The fact that they are the most balanced conference is very true but that doesn't make your top teams the best nationally. Look what happened to the West in bowls last year. Alabama is the cream and LSU is going on name recognition and Texas A&M won't ever be at the top because they always mess up down the line. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are always overrated and it amazes me that the pollsters put them at the top. The East has a bunch of above average teams but no title contenders. The Auburn quarterback is not the next Cam Newton based on what I saw but it is early and by week 6, the true contenders will float to the top.

Which brings this dilema, I want to say Saban is an overrated coach based on the overwhelming talent his program is stocked with, but with 4 national titles its going to be tough arguing that no matter how much more talent his teams enjoy annually, that only goes to Saban the best recruiting coach in the buisness, x's and o's, I like Urban, and yes, the best team in each of the big 5 conferences play at roughly the same level, but week in and week out if you play in the S. E. see. , it's like playing a bowl caliber team with every conference game, which takes it's toll come conference championship time.

Sorry but no way Hawaii cover, Ohio St. 's mop up quarterback is going to put up numbers tomorrow. Wish everyone luck tomorrow.

[Captin Crunch]

But hear me out on this. Hawaii plus 40, I believe they will be able to cover the spread in the final score because I don't believe Urban Myers is going to run up the score on his old friend. OSU at the half. Just my two cents.

What is the local halftime line? I heard anywhere from 24.5 to 27.

Brah, I pick the bows. Maybe this will bite me in the ass but I don't think UH will lose by more than 40 points. Good luck bro.

I was actually thinking of going Hawaii for the game.

Any other locks for Sat. ? Haha.

See you.

Again love your interest in college football enough to respond here, which I totally encourage, agree or not, lest we wouldn't have this thread! Ok, Over hyped as in not deserving of recognition that is placed upon one, overrated? If so here is a fact (still doesn't prove the S. E. see. Is the toughest, best, whatever we want to call it, these things can never be proven in court, so it still is an opinion, even with undeniable facts.), last year of the 14 teams in the S. E. see. , twelve went to post season bowl games, no other conference can boast these pecentages, also if you look at the two teams that didn't qualify especially Kentucky, here's a team while finishing last or second to last in the conference, prolly win or challenge for a mwc title, but look at the wins that they have and the close losses that they have, they would win some bowl games last year! Here's another interesting fact (this does not go to the question of S. E. see. Superiority), but it does go to the fact of parity within this league, again which has placed twelve of it's fourteen members into post season bowl games, preseason preditions for this league says Alabama wins the west while Georgia wins the east but in voting for conference champion it's drum roll please. Auburn? WTF, you've got to win the west if you're Auburn, but they've predicted Alabama, that's parity among this conference. Anyway the season rolls on and so will the discussion! Laters Low!

The SEC is over-hyped and no quarterbacks. Texas A&M and LSU are average and Alabama will make the playoffs but the same thing will probably happen as last year to OSU because they are too young. The PAC-12 is really over-hyped. Alabama, UCLA, Baylor, OSU in the Playoffs with the same result as last year.

HB.

Not going to argue about college football but what are you talking about LSU and Texas A&M being average. A&M defense is much improve, did you see what they did to ASU. LSU defense is lights out and the have a guy name Fournette that is the best athlete in the country. The SEC was 14-1 this weekend, the PAC12 had two schools lose to FCS School and hawaii manhandled Colorado. So maybe I don't know what I am talking about and it's the 1st week of college football but we will see in November if you still calling the SEC overhyped and the before mentioned school average my friend.

Alabama does have a great team but the SEC is the best conference in the nation and most of Alabama's 5 star recruits are in the pro's. In my humble opinion LSU or Texas A&M have a better chance to come out of the sec. I don't see no one beating Ohio St sincethe big 10 is always soft. The only team they have to worry about is Michigan state you can pretty much pencil Ohio state in the playoffs but they will not beat whoever comes out of the SEC.

That's is how far ahead the sec conference is from the other power 5 conferences. I feel bad for Hawaii they have to travel to the horse shoe Saturday to get killed.

Most definately agree with you that the S. E. see. Is the toughest conference to play in and win, add in the conference's championship game, which by the way the big twelve has now decided to eliminate after last years hapenings, their choice imo that could comeback and hurt that conference this year, never know how the season will play out. And because the S. E. see. Is imo, the toughest conference to compete in, that could very well affect Alabama and it's plethora of highly skilled and deeply talented players, but that can be said for the rest of the conference's 14 teams, now if you are not one of the conferences 14 teams, you've got to at least love this situation (I was going to use the word fact, in place of situation, all of this is only my opinion, not facts, I will be stating some facts as to why I believe the S. E. see. Is in fact the toughest conference to play in, some believe, they are overrated, over hyped, ect.), if you're Alabama you prolly wish you played in the mwc! Anyway more shall be revealed as the season goes on. You are right some of Bama's highly rated recruits have gone on to the nfl, but with the (I think this is a violation of players civil rights, love to see another challenge in court, so they can get this right, according to me!) the and. F. L. , barring freshmans and sophmores from applying for their draft, coupled with the unwritten rule amongst the nation top team that every single player will be redshirted, we will see a one year delay in which a highly rated recruit can actually see the playing field, in other words since Alabama won the recruiting wars in 2012,2013, 2014,2015, a guy eligible to play in 2015, will actually only get the oppotunity to play in 2016, basically we'll see the fruits of recruiting two years down the road, winning the war from 2012-2015, will see its impact from 2013-2016. We just got to love college football, !ove these discussion!

Well Ohio State opens their 2015 season and so far, they seem to be a big play team, very explosive, talented, deep, so far polls have them to repeat but a word of caution, while they seem to be everything the experts say they are, there is one school who I believe is as talented or more talented, as deep or even deeper, maybe not as experiened or tested, but in every other way as good or better is Alabama, this team has finished as the number one recruiting class from 2012,2013, 2014,2015, that's the past four in a row, the difference between the number one recruiting class and say the number 2 or 3 recruitng class is about 4 five star recruits times that by four years, that's roughly 20 five star recruits on this years roster, than any of the other top five teams in the country, that's a huge difference, watch out for Alabama, they are loaded even more than Ohio State, just not returning as much starters as Ohio state, they only lack game plying experience, but other than that Alabama is loaded, I think they have the talent to beat Ohio State, handily I might add!
