This is a very good comment!!!! I would like to see the SEC (not just Kentucky and Florida) participate in the invitational preseason tourneys!
Arkansas and Gonzaga will be an interesting game. One thing that Arkansas will do is defend even when shots aren't falling.
"B1G and claim that our teams are so good that they beat each other up so badly during the season that we don’t have anything left for the post season". Well......Coach Pearl already made that excuse... “The SEC will get crushed for our tournament performance. We just beat each other up all year. It was just a grind. We didn’t show it in the tournament,” Pearl said.
That's the issue right there, Power whatever doesn't mean anything in basketball. One of the toughest conferences is still the Big East. If you coach at a school that's able to get good not great basketball talent, with a coach that has a winning system...that's all you need to do very well in basketball. Football is all about power 5 conference this and that. Basketball is the one sport where the little guy can show up to the party....Ball in....win or go home.
It's the beauty of the Tournament. You prove that you belong in the regular season, but after that...it's a brand new season. I believe the SEC as a whole could benefit by more teams taking part in the preseason invitational tournaments. It's not a lack of talent, but the tournament atmosphere and style of play is different than regular season play. People are saying that there were no SEC favorites for the Final 4? Auburn, Kentucky, and Tennessee were heavy favorites for at least the Elite 8 (UK is always in the picture for a final 4 bid). I can't put a finger on Kentucky's issues but the other teams ...it's a matter of tournament style play...during the preseason - take some lumps early, get in the dance, and peak during tournament play.
With or without White....Bama wins this game by 32.
If this team gets beaten, it will be the biggest upset since the USSR lost to USA. This team will not lose, everyone else is seeing who will be the last team they beat in the championship game...making them the first loser.
I wish this young man nothing but the best, however - Alabama isn't known for developing pro style QB's, at least not one that start in the NFL. He may be an anomaly, I do believe he will beat out Hurts for the QB position, and Hurts will be moved to the lightning RB position (Stewart) and Scarbourgh will be the thunder RB.
If I'm not mistaken, Michigan for the past two years has refused to schedule anyone outside of the Power 5 or Group of 5. The enitre B1G is going to that format as well as the ACC, with 4 games out of conference against Power5/Group of 5 Teams. I'm in total agreement that we should all go to that type of schedule - it would be even better if they were all Power 5 teams - at the beginning of the season!!!! Alabama is playing FSU, Florida is playing Michigan - that's all well and good but how would it be to see Bama playing FSU, then playing Clemson, then playing Cal, and wrapping up against Oklahoma ST....then going into conference play!!!!!!?? That would be crazy fun!!!! Or Clemson playing Auburn, then Michigan, then USC, then Oklahoma, then wrapping up against Baylor - then conference play! Check this one out - Michigan vs Florida, then playing Miami, then playing UCLA, wrapping up against West Virgina!!! These types of schedules would put all the noise to sleep for all conferences and would make the 4 team playoff much easier to decide!
No excuses, you'll get nothing but respect from State. Mich St. Is a HUGE underdog in this game, if they lose, it was expected. It's kind of like Monsters University at the Scare games....the Jocks told Oozma Kappa that when they lose no one will remember who you are, but they responded, if they win...no one will let you forget it! If Mich St loses...ehh, whatever Bama is just looking at Ok or Clemson, but if Bama loses college football will remember it for years to come!
That's almost like calling Alabama Auburn in Mich St's eyes.
Last i've heard was that Muschamp was the first option at South Carolina. However, I believe Muschamp functions better as a DC than a HC.
Rumor is also out that Kiffin has stated that he will not return to Alabama either. He wants a new HC job, but if the right one doesn't happen, he will go to Georgia with Smart. Smart is also taking Alabama's strenth and conditioning coach with him.
ACC/B1G fan here. Congrats to Mizzou!!! Cheering for you guys against Bama! You're the only SEC team that has faced SEC bias because of your losses to GA and Indy! Anyone can be beaten on any given day! Winning will prove that the real problem with the BCS was the human element - which is subject to bias, group think and the like. That's the same problem with this selection committee. Mizzou, it's going to be tough, but hang in there! You have shown fortitude and endurance this year! Go and get your first SEC championship!!!! And who knows - if the dominoes fall right - you just may get into the 4 team playoff after all!!!!
