Replace Georgia for South Carolina and Ole Miss would be 11-1 right now. How much crazier would that have made the end of this season

yeah man my Gamecocks struggled this year injuries amongst other things… if only we could replace ND,UCLA, Oregon, Washington, and Utah ah hell I still doubt SoCal would be over.

Kiffin gotta have his agent on the phone looking to bolt out of there after this season. I'd be trying to get that A&M gig and contract

Not sure there is a mutual want there, plus lane likes to bolt for Florida every chance he gets, lane is in purgatory, a lot of ads don’t think he’s serious like he needs to be and he’d rather be in Florida than do the coach thing, it’s only so many programs you can do that in, and Tamu ain’t one of them

I said it last week Bo nix will be the worst QB to win this award he has a elite team around him... the real Bo is the one we saw at auburn, and he will show back up next year in the NFL.

Bo is good, nfl good is another animal, but he’s a good college football quarterback

Totally disagree. Lane has proven himself to be a good coach, what he’s done at Ole Miss is unprecedented and he only went to Florida for Florida Atlantic

Lane at TAMU is a good fit

I just remember this ridiculous conversation from earlier in the season:

UK should be ranked

After playing Ball State, Eastern Kentucky, Akron, and Vanderbilt?

Kentucky didn't even get their first lead in the Eastern Kentucky game until the 2nd half, and it was still 21-17 with 8 minutes left in the game despite EKU missing a field goal and throwing a pick at the 4 yard line.

Florida got fukking manhandled by the 6th-best team in the Pac-12 right now. Them being ranked was a joke, and Kentucky hasn't played anyone that would justify them being ranked either.

So now Kentucky isn’t good?

Anything to discredit us huh? SMH

lol

Kentucky was 7-6 last year, including a loss to 5-7 Vandy and getting shut out 21-0 by 7-5 Iowa in their bowl game. So they definitely weren't good last year.


Did they suddenly get good this year because they're 5-0? Well, let's see, who were those five teams they've played?

Ball State, a 1-5 MAC squad
UAC, a 2-3 FCS team
Akron, a 1-5 MAC squad
Vandy, 2-5
Florida, 4-2

So they got to 5-0 by beating four TRASH squads, and then a Florida team who itself has 3 trash wins plus a win over unproven Tennessee....and who got bytchslapped by Utah when Utah was virtually playing without a quarterback.

This is why I keep pointing out these trash, trash SEC schedules. You try to pretend that Georgia has done something by pretending that Kentucky has done something, but it's all a house of cards.

What does easy scheduling have to do with Kentucky being the 20th ranked team in the country coming into Saturday? They’ve played well vs the schedule they were given, have put up impressive statistics and despite getting blown out vs us on Saturday are STILL ranked. If they hadn’t played well in those 5 games they wouldn’t have been ranked, you acting like Kentucky has this prestige as a top 25 football program

This is an all time dumb debate

These terrible SEC schedules have you thinking that Oregon is just another Kentucky.

You see why listing records and stats means nothing if your opponents ain't worth shyt?

Oh so the truth finally comes out “Kentucky ain’t shyt” Go head breh, explain to everyone what metrics or statistics you used to arrive at that conclusion. I’ll wait

I’m not playing these weird hypotheticals with you breh. This started because of you deliberate and misguided bias against a ranked & undefeated Kentucky team that you just acknowledged “ain’t shyt” when in actuality they were and are a good team and despite getting their ass beat still remain ranked. That doesn’t happen to bad teams, but good teams get the benefit of the doubt.

You were in your feelings that I as a UGA fan was proud of a victory over a good team UK team and your bias and perception against UK couldn’t allow you to give me or the Dawgs credit for a good win.

So we’re using last years results as a benchmark for Kentucky this year? And then undervaluing Florida and their win over a ranked Tennessee team because it doesn’t fit your narrative

Like I said earlier I’ll just celebrate being better than everyone in the nation week after week since apparently winning against a ranked opponent means nothing since YOU don’t value that opponent

I made my point clear: Kentucky is a good team and that’s why they were/are ranked. You all have spend most of your Sunday trying to debate me down that’s Kentucky isn’t good because of who they’ve played. News flash: You could say that about almost any team in the top 25

It’s a weird argument because UK has played well (double digit victories in their first 5 games, very good defense and rushing game and was undefeated) yet for y’all that isn’t enough for them to have been ranked or described as a good team.

SEC fans were delusional as fukk thinking Kentucky was a good team just cause they scheduled gutter trash for their first four games.

And claiming that Florida must be good cause they beat Tennessee.

You do realize that at the time of these posts UK was a top 20 team or is meaningful context irrelevant to you?

 

[Numpsay]

For the past few years Lane has trolled both A&M and Jimbo. The brass at A&M hate his guts, their fan base hates him, plus I'm almost sure he'd want a Jimbo type contract to go there. A&M is swinging and missing on their coaching search but not sure they are willing to hold their nose and hire Lane.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

The topic that started that entire conversation was that UK's #20 ranking was complete dogshyt SEC bias and they didn't deserve it at all.


If an SEC squad schedules 3-4 absolutely horrible OOC opponents to start the season, then beats a couple SEC bottom-dwellers, that doesn't make them a great team. It just means they beat 5-6 bad teams, and there's forty or fifty squads in the country that would do the same. Yet the SEC bias consistently allows any shytty SEC team to be ranked top-20 solely if they make 5-0 or 6-0, no matter how bad their opponents were, and then when a decent team beats those squads it's used as an excuse to elevate the decent team higher than they deserve.

That's why Kentucky was ranked. That's why Florida was ranked. That's why Tennessee was ranked. And none of them were good. They just had poor competition.

All conferences need to schedule better if regular season records are going to have any meaning, but the SEC is the absolute worse at it, and no one else is going to want to schedule tough if they have to compete for playoff spots with a bunch of SEC teams that schedule 3-4 easy wins and are never punished for it.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

The EXACT result happened that I said would happen.


Tennessee is somehow still ranked #21 by the playoff committee, the top 4-loss team in the country, despite a completely worthless OOC schedule and all four losses being blowouts....and one of those blowouts was to fukking 5-7 Florida. But they still need to be #21 in the playoff picture so the committee can claim all those SEC schools have a quality win.


So that helps the payoff committee justify Missouri being ranked #9, the top two-loss team in the country, despite Missouri playing 3 OOC cupcakes and being 0-2 against top-15 opponents (one of those being 8-3 LSU). Besides Tennessee who doesn't deserve to be there, the only top-25 team that Missouri has beaten is #19 Kansas State, and that squad hasn't beaten anyone all season either. So how the fukk do they justify Missouri at #9?


That exaggerated Missouri ranking, of course, is what allows the playoff committee to justify LSU at #13, the top three-loss team in the county, despite LSU being just 1-3 against ranked opponents this season and their only OOC wins being Grambling, Army, and Georgia State.


Now Alabama is at least back in #8 for now due to their complete lack of quality wins....but watch what happens if Alabama beats Georgia and they somehow use all these overrated SEC teams to justify leapfrogging bama up into the playoff.



It's a revolving door of mediocrity. How can they say all these squads have the ranking they deserve if the whole conference starts out with at least 3, sometimes 4 guarenteed wins on the schedule before the seasons even starts?


Schedule better OOC or these regular season rankings will never be meaningful and continue to circle around personal bias of the selectors.

UK had earned their ranking at the time with what was a top 10 defense nationally and dominated a decent Florida team that had beaten a ranked Vols team. It was a justified ranking. All this other rambling is irrelevant, you just have a personal vendetta against the SEC. It’s also ironic that the SEC is down this year and isn’t benefiting from any bias this year especially not for no damn Kentucky

Teams from major conferences all schedule cupcakes and play garbage in conference opponents but you got beef with the SEC?

GTFOH

It’s weird how some CFB fans constantly bytch and complain about where mid SEC teams are ranked in the polls, folks don’t do this with other conferences 7-4 Clemson ranked right now and not a peep.

this is fukking comical. You are making the exact argument that he pointed out was full of shyt, which it is. Who had UK played when they had a top 10 defense? That Florida team is not decent . The Vols don't deserve to be ranked. None of that shyt was justified. I think it's becoming apparent you only pay attention to rankings to judge a team.

 

[Drake's Tan]

I think he'd bolt for Florida for sure

He would in a heart beat.

I honestly wanted Florida to hire Lane after they fired Mullen.
