ESPN analyst Booger McFarland tweets takeaways from SEC's Week 5 action
Every Sunday, ESPN analyst Booger McFarland hops on Twitter to share his thoughts from the previous day’s SEC action.
This week, Alabama fans won’t be too happy with him, as the popular analyst says that the Crimson Tide are the No. 2 team in the country, even after a 66-3 blowout win over Ole Miss.
That’s right — McFarland was impressed with Clemson’s big win at Virginia Tech on Saturday night and has them in the No. 1 spot ahead of Bama:
Clemson- best team in CFB. Kelly Bryant poised cool and dynamic, defense is better than last year. Sneaky good running game great win

As for the SEC action from this weekend, here’s what McFarland had to say:
Alabama- 66-3. Could’ve been whatever they wanted against the team that ‘had their number’ – injuries starting to mount #2 team@in America

Auburn- The real Stidham finally showed up, he isn’t a runner but his big pass plays r needed for Auburn. Defense continues to impress

LSU- soft on both o and d line, Key is playing for the NFL not for LSU , Canada looks lost on offense and Coach O has to fix it , sooooft

Georgia- play good complimentary football. Good run game great defense game manager at qb. Sound familiar ? Kirby was at Bama remember

S Carolina- again not in my mentions I wonder why Losing Debo has killed this team. Bentley trying to do it all

Tenn- getting outplayed and out coached weekly. Not sure it can get better with a week off. It’s no longer if but when on Jones pic.twitter.com/PHw11edkFU

Florida- hate to see Del Rio hurt. But gives Franks more reps and Florida will be better because of that in the long run

Check back in with Booger next Sunday to see what he thinks after another week of SEC action.
Goid takes by Booger and he’s right, LSU has become a SOFT tm. How’d that happen so soon?? Smh. O began taking it easy in practice last yr and focusing more on film to keep the tm fresh on gm days. Seems the reduced contact has resulted in a fresh but soft tm. Need to bring back the Les Miles “Big Cat” drills.
Also, I’ve got a theory on tms with offences that don’t run down hill. If theur def doesn’t practice vs that physicality, it cant handle physical tms. I know Aranda complained in camp that the O was doing a lot of mis direction and he couldn’t get a read on his def. They weren’t running the plays hed see in the West. I don’t know what it is but I do know I’m watching a soft tm.
Agree mostly, except bama at 2. This team wont come with 21 points of losing.
We Bama fans thought the same thing last season, but Clemson is a tough team to beat. Clemson’s schedule has been a nightmare and they haven’t been anything less than impressive so far. Yes, Bama has looked impressive as well, but they haven’t played the teams Clemson has. Until Alabama has a signature win under their belts (which won’t be until at least Auburn or Georgia), I have to agree that they’re second best. As painful as that is for me to say.
“This team won’t come within 21 points of losing.” Lol that statement is already false. They only beat Colorado State by 18 genius.
Well CO State is better than Auburn. Scoring late against backups isnt considered close.
Lol whatever you say boss. If CO state is better than Auburn then they are light years ahead of the Gaytors!!
If you guys ever made it to ATL we’d find out.
