Is Auburn really worthy of #2??

Did anyone else see that play that Arkansas ran with the short guy basically laying down behind the QB? What the heck was that?

Tuberville might want to keep his mouth shut next week....Looks like the "vaunted" SEC might not be so tough after all.

That was a great play. I assume nobody could see him back there squating and when they handed him the ball it took the D a bit of time to recognize him running. That was a key play to this game for Ark.

Agreed about the SEC but Shhhhhhhh! don't tell Bagel.

That was a great play. That guy can't be over 5'7-5'8. I think the SEC is still tough. But a few chinks in the armor now.

I do not think that losing to teams in your own conference makes you a weak conference. I think as a whole it means your conference is stronger. Which is what we have said all along about the SEC compared to other conferences, and it was proven today by Arkansas beating Auburn.

USC crushed Arkansas.

Arkansas is underrated (obviously). Plus I think Tuberville's comments may have fired up the Hogs this week.

Arkansas looks like a totally new team now with Mustain at the helm, they should've just thrown him out there day 1. Getting their best player (McFadden) back doesn't hurt either.

As for the SEC I'll agree a bit that it's not as great as cracked up to be, mainly because Georgia and now Auburn to an extent haven't held up there end of the bargain.

But then I look back to that Tennessee/Cal game and how much of a joke that Cal (which certainly appears to be the best team in the Pac-10 to me at this point) defense was and how much their offense was shut down against a good D and it just makes it hard for me to believe that the SEC is getting significantly more hype than they deserve.

I agree. USC would have still killed the Hogs...but it would have been a closer game. The Hogs are sitting pretty to win the SEC west.

I feel the SEC is still a great conference and probably the best. But Auburn isn't #2, LSU and Georgia isn't #11.

Now in the Tenn / Cal game I just feel Cal was not ready for their first game. They appear to be a different team today than on that day. Not that they would beat Tenn but I feel it would be a better game.

I agree that Cal looks a lot better now and it would be closer if they were playing now instead of then, so does Tennessee though (though not as large an improvement as Cal). I think Cal would be able to do quite a bit more offensively, but defensively it wasn't really gameplanning or anything like that, just beyond awful tackling and bad fundamentals. That's not really something that's fixable in a few weeks.
