Down goes Stanfraud

[jever4321]

#8 bites the dust. PAC12 is just as bad as the B1G. Boring game. I wish I went to bed 2 hours ago.

same sort of game Bama and LSU played in the regular season last year

It really is starting to be apparent that there aren't really any great teams this year. I wouldn't be shocked if more than a couple 2 loss teams ended up in the top 10. Possibly even a 3 loss team with how things are going. There's a lot of bad football being played this season.

I am not shocked they lost. I thought Stanford got to much credit for beating USC. They went from around 21 to #8. The #8 seems to be the cursed spot this year. They are the third team ranked 8 to lose this year.

Alabama looks like a great team. LSU looks like a great team.

Oregon looks good.

Stanford loses by 4 on the road to what looks like they might be a decent PAc-12 squad. they're not frauds anymore than the '97 Michigan team would've been frauds if they had dropped a big ten road game.

you guys have screwy standards.

yeah, they might've been too high, but it's too early to tell. if they finish the season 11-2 or 10-3 though, they deserve it.

Yes, there are a couple good teams this year - but there's certainly a shortage this season. That's my point. I haven't really been impressed by anyone by Alabama so far. Even LSU has looked mediocre.

Michigan didn't drop a big ten road game....That's like saying Michigan would be awesome this season if we didn't lose to Alabama and Notre Dame.

Washington is going to be pretty good under Sarkisian and he's had a couple years now. U-Dub and UCLA are on the rebound and Leach at WSU will be fun to watch.


The Pac-12 is arguably the best conference Top to Bottom when you tune out the SEC media machine that is ESPN. Outside Bama and LSU, I don't see any real dominance across the board. They just get the benefit of the echo chamber.

But stanford lost. When a team loses they suck.

Losing = suck = frauds... hence the Pac12 sucks.

Washington is not great, Stanford is not great. Outside of Alabama, possibly LSU and maybe 1 or 2 other teams; there are very few great teams this year.

Why is it necessary to qualify certain teams or programs as "great?" Why can't the teams just play the games and see what happens? This insistence of anointing a conference or a team as "great" or "greatest" is stupid to begin with.

Washington and Stanford played a game that was far more entertaining than the Bama/LSU game was last year but it wasn't pre-sold as the Game of the Century.

You forgot about Arizona!!

I agree. It was more exciting than both of those games last year.

I personally think Alabama would run up in both of them, but who cares?

I think Alabama is the only great team out there this season, but then you have several that are good, as well as, entertaining. I don't get the LSU love. Are they still getting props from what they did last year?

 

[wheels002]

I do believe Bama is clearly head and shoulders the #1 team. Then there are about 5 teams playing it out to be #2.

Hey, Arizona is quite a bit better ... The whole Pac-12 has done well to raise the level in terms of the head coaches, compared to ten years ago.

Chip Kelly
Leach
Sark
Mora

Kiffin is a total douche, but he'll be able to recruit and keep SC up there going forward.

Teams ebb and flow. It's a long season. Prediction: Alabama loses a game.

 

[wheels002]

The 2nd best SEC team I have seen play is Georgia. I watched the a few LSU games and their offense lacks explosion. They will have many games that are close where their defense is relied on to win the game. Last year Mathieu seemed to come up with a huge play when ever they needed it. With him not there I wonder if they have anyone that can fill that role.

You're forgetting a coach on your list...
