Hayes: Revisiting (and updating) my preseason SEC QB rankings
I'd take Brady Cook all day over Rattler.
I didn't watch either Bo Nix or Michael Penix play this year. So I won't comment on them. But Jayden Daniels is the best college player I've watched in a number of years.
Unlikely to happen but if Louisville won out they would be in the playoff discussion, depending on what else happens
Honestly I am fine with Mizzou's ranking. In this sport, if you lose, you drop in the rankings. It is what it is.They can go get it back on Saturday against Tennessee.
A&M and Auburn are locks because of their schedules. I think both SC and Arkansas get closer than expected a few weeks ago to bowl eligibility but come up short. I think Florida needed the Arkansas game and loses out.
Give me MSU as a surprise bowl team on the strength of ruining Ole Miss' season in the Egg Bowl for no logical reason. That game defies logic.
It's not a revenge game for UGA, but for Missouri. It was a ridiculously painful loss and they will want to avenge it.
That said, last year's battle will likely lead to UGA not overlooking Mizzou or buying into the huge spread, which is unfortunate. We won't sneak up on them.
Dave Odom, must have forgotten that era...
Yes, in a world where time stopped on September 9th, your take would make sense. We have this thing where we update rankings based on wins and losses that occur in a given week. Y
Yeah I'd have them 6 or 7th or so.
Missouri is much better than I expected, and I'm thrilled but I'd still put them around #6 or 7, IMO
That's part of what I was trying to say in a comment that is "awaiting moderator review". They're 4-20 the last two years. I get he has had great moments, but, like, they were a bad season in '23 from forced to do this anyway. Why does everyone make him soundike Bear Bryant?
Will a moderator just once log on here and explain why I can't comment on anything without it "awaiting review"?
Vanderbilt is much improved, but I don't think they have enough time or opportunity to pass the 7-8 teams ahead of them. They need to win the automatic bid
I of course mean Wednesday to Sunday, not Wednesday to Thursday. Coffee hasn't hit my brain yet.
I think with the SEC tournament, it's partially the timing. The championship game ends literally minutes before the selection show, so I don't think it gets factored in at all. Even by the late Saturday games, bracket is mostly done. They could look to move it to Tuesday-Saturday instead of Wednesday-Thursday to allow more of the results to be a real factor.
I think if I was voting I would be explicit in saying Brandon Miller was the best player in the court, but his actions off the court simply outweigh that. If it was a situation where he violated a NCAA rule, I'd feel different, but I think rewarding him with that sort of accolade is completely inappropriate.
We were projected 11th. A&M was supposed to be good, and their current upper tier performance is only surprising because they showed up to the season a month late.
They can't give Brandon Miller POY. Just can't do it.
I wrote a comment basically saying all 14 SEC teams were tough this year. Completely positive and uncontroversial. It's awaiting moderation. Please explain why.
I think you got the wrong week potentially
"Graham’s own son became the 14th player to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal from Hawai’i in late December."
Todd Graham seems like a jerk, but man, this part is enough to make me feel a bit sorry for the dude. Height of brutality.
I hope Martin doesn't develop symptoms and is okay.
While the statistics would say it's quite unlikely that he will get seriously ill or require hospitalization, a man of his character still deserves better than a string of comments about his coaching acumen in the immediate aftermath of the diagnosis.
This site desperately needs to either eliminate comments or improve its moderation algorithm dramatically. The fact that you cannot name the disease of which a literal article is about is a joke.
When the person literally everyone is referring to as a troll is the only one I have any common ground with whatsoever, maybe it's time to leave this particular site.
If you honestly think that most of what professors do is put together power points for undergraduate classes (not that undergraduate instruction isn't important; it is) I would suggest further research. That may be true in OCCASIONAL teaching focused professorships, but the vast majority at least in the STEM field are high-paced, high-stakes research positions that are every bit as demanding as most private sector jobs.
Well, this is certainly a compelling conversational thread.
I guess HCs serving as their own OC don't count?
As an on field grade, which is what this appears to be, totally fine with where Drinkwitz is.
I will say, having a borderline top 10 class has me viewing his tenure so far as higher than a C. I'd say he has been very average on the field coaching so far, but great in recruiting. The second part will have to yield on field results at some point. But I remain very hopeful despite a lackluster (but ultimately not terrible) season on the field.
I'm only at most being half serious, because at 6-6 we have no room to complain...but dang, couldn't A&M have just held its water against LSU so we didn't get sent to some extremely random bowl that isn't even tied to the SEC? This one isn't so bad, but I saw us projected into one that is being played on a Monday morning in Detroit, which...
