LSU at Alabama

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hah! Shows how much SEC football you watch. Both teams score 30+ against any other team out there. You just watched the two best defensive teams in the nation. And there isn't a 3rd team even close.

Boise St. would be murdered in the trenches against either LSU or Bama. In fact, any team would be. Sadly, there just isn't any comparison out there.

I know this makes me sound like an SEC homer, and quite frankly, I am somewhat. But the proof is in the pudding. No other conference is even comparable right now. I used to live in Ohio and had to watch lackluster Big 10 football. It's not even close in terms of talent at the top right now.

Just for a little recruiting comparison, Tennessee generally finishes around 10th nationally in recruiting (give or take) and 5th or 6th in the SEC. There is a huge talent discrepancy, and you'll see it when LSU wins the national championship, just like an SEC team does every year.

I figured I'd get flamed for this. I still was still more unimpressed by the offense than I was impressed by the defense.

Recruiting ratings are overrated. How many times has ND had a highly touted class lately and what has it done for them? If TN is a top 10 recruiter year in and year out it sure isn't showing on the field and hasn't for years.

I'm not slamming the SEC at all, I'm just saying that in that game I wasn't impressed by the offenses at all, a good offense would find a way to score. I went too far with the WI reference.

i pay no attention to college football but i went back and forth between the two games last night. that 99 for alabama...he seemed like a stud. is he any good and would he be around for the Packers at 32 (hehe) if he's good enough?

BTW...I fell asleep in the second half. Saw the rest at noon...didn't miss much! I thought you all would want to know!?

I was wondering where you went. I can't blame you for falling asleep. It was a borefest of all borefests.
