I LOVE watching Baylor. I think Briles is a genius and doesn't come close to getting the recognition he deserves. Despite Baylor's so called defensive deficiencies, I think they are no doubt, the most complete team in the country..
So I'm sure most don't know this, but I'm a MONSTER gator fan. Even tho I didn't play or attend there, just have been since I was little. I so badly wanted to bring them up in the top 10 convo, especially ahead of LSU and Michigan. But I didn't want my bias (despite how little I have) to overcome the truth. So I chuckled with a wry smile when I read your Florida comments lol. I was just using LSU as a spring board to get to Florida. I agree with you that Michigan would probably beat LSU and I definitely agree with you that Harbaugh coaches circles are Miles and would do so much more with all that talent. But I still don't think Michigan is as good as advertised at the moment... Maybe I'm wrong (generally am about them) but I think they come back to earth this week. Tho the shutouts are impressive.
Pretty sure I didn't say this in week 1, but I"m glad you're back. Wasn't the same without you. Instead of hijacking boom's thread next week, I'll make sure to drop by yours and chat you up hope all is good with you as well
I wasn't a believer in Florida when I watched some segments vs the Vols, thought they looked very average at home but they are getting my attention now after whacking Ole Miss and winning at Mizzou, I know Mizzou isn't that good but that was a tough spot for Florida & their defense dominated in a night game environment on the road, I was more impressed with that win than any of the others honestly
if they win in Baton Rouge then they'll crack my top 10 for sure, I've always liked their program as well, they were fun to watch in the Spurrier days and the Swamp is a cool spot for a game
they may have the best defense in the country so if they can keep improving with the talented freshman QB then you could be onto something in Gainesville, they sure look better than the teams they've thrown out under Will Muschamp, he was disaster there
we have stolen Boom's thread but he's hitting like 70% for the season and Clemson is undefeated so he won't mind, not much could upset him at the moment I bet

As of right now I think Baylor is unstoppable. They are playing ps3 vs everyone else.
Let's just say if they were to play today..... Baylor is crazy good, but have they seen a defense like Clemson's??? probably wont all year until the playoff....But yeah, right now. I think Baylor is #1
I see you used the qualifier "right now" as you should. Baylor has played the worst SOS in all of FBS. Their opponents are a combined 9-19 and they have not played one top 100 defense. You could argue that Baylor has not played 1 defense that is better than than the likes of a team like Tulane or Florida Atlantic. Of course they are putting up video game type #'s.The sad thing is, I don't think they are going to play a top 40 defense all year.

Imo... Bama, Baylor, TCU, tOSU, LSU, and Stanford are the best teams in the country. They all have some kind of flaws, but in a 1 game series, these teams would beat the rest of the country 8-10 times. But if they play each other, it would be 50/50.. Stanford might be a stretch, and you could swap them with Clemson, but I just don't think Clemson is there yet.. Bama is in the same situation, but the problem was with QB and youth in the secondary, and both are getting much better by the day. If Bama some how gets by there schedule and beats LSU, then they could be the best team at the best time and Saban win his 4th Title in 8 years, ummmmmm yeah! That would be considered a dynasty.! Is 4 titles in 8 years not considered dominent? With 2 of the other years losing the game before going to the NCG.? Listen, I understand the masses being tired of Bama, just like they was tired of USC and FSU and MIAMI, but it is what it is. And you gotta admit that even on Bamas down years they have enough talent to compete and if they get lucky, then they get in. That defense will keep them in every game this year. Even when they turn it over 5 times. But I still think Baylor wins it all. Their defense will get better as the year goes and that's what wins Titles.! I still wouldn't count out tOSU, let's see what they do when their backs are against the wall.!

I clearly stopped reading this post after the highlighted statement, but.... you can't be in "dynasty mode" if you aren't winning national championships. Hate to break it to bammer nation, but you aren't winning one this year either.
Bama was a nice story.... But it's over. and the sooner these cats come to grips with that the better off they will be.
People think im crazy for ranking Bama between 14 -17 right now...But I just dont see a dominate team with them. They are a good middle of the pack top 25 team right now.

Lmao..... If you had a gun to your head, your brains would be painted on the wall.. I know you are a Bama hater, but Bama has not lost a game by more than 7 points since 2010.. Even this year, in a game that had 5 turn overs against a very good defense, a sorry azz QB from the ACC led Bama back to near victory TWICE while cutting a 20 pt deficit.. Maybe Bama losses 3 more games? Maybe they don't ? But they were in the CFB playoff and lost to the best team in the country last year with their WORST TEAM yet under Saban.. Defense wins titles Boom.. And as long as Saban is recruiting those Stud Ponys to play D at Bama, they will be in the thick of it every year.. Let 2008 go bro, it was one game and Bama was just better.. The sooner you come to grips with it, the better off you'll be.. Btw, "Clemsoning" is real! It's when you lose by to a team you are a 20+ pt chalk to.. It's called Clemsoning because Clemson has done it more than any other team in the history of this great game (just guessing, didn't look it up)... I wouldn't get my hopes up on the ole Tigers if that's what your doing? Cause they are gonna bust your dreams with a loss to Pensacola St or somebody else in the very near future. History always repeats itself.. That's why Bama is the King Daddy and has you jelly as fuuk right now.. Not to mention if Saban left and Bama offers yo coach (please God Nooooo) he will cream his pants to jump on that ship!! Lol

What is a Dynasty? Championship every year? 3-5 , 4-8, 5-10, 3-10, I'm just wondering? Because Saban is 3-7 now and 2 losses in the game prior to the NC.. So if it's over, it sure was nice as fuuuuk... Now, let's see if these other #1 recruiting classes can start another one? Or we can just sprinkle in a few every decade or so like we been doing since the 60's.. Bama is the GOAT cfb program dude, it's never over... I

Calm your roll man- Bama lost and several of these teams in this discussion have not- Could Bama win again this year? Possibly but their defense is nowhere near the caliber it was when they beat LSU for the title and their offense isn't either- These teams (Baylor, Clemson, TCU) are offensive juggernauts and I am very anxious to see one of them in the title game- I was screaming louder than anyone the year that Bama won the rematch with LSU simply because Oklahoma St. deserved to be there- That would have been a brilliant matchup of a great offense vs a great defense- Enjoy your time with Saban but you come off as the typical Bama fan who thinks Bama and the SEC are the best things ever made- Plenty of good football is played elsewhere- I am an SEC guy but not for the reasons that most people are- I can't stand Bama but if they or any other SEC team wins then that helps recruiting as you can tell kids if they play on your SEC team that they have a chance for the title- other than that I hope Bama/Auburn/Florida and everyone one else loses every game- I respect the program but the chest thumpers just need to calm down a little-A little bit of humbleness goes a long way

Since B.C. couldn't score on a coked up stripper I think the Eagles team total under is money this week- game under should be good as I can't see Clemson being too fired up for this game(when is homecoming?)
I feel bad for the Florida QB- that stuff he was taking should not be on any banned list but you have to check when taking anything stronger than protein these days- Funny is how these dumbazz media types will make their reports sound like he was taking steroids- that stuff is far from it- Oh well the game is off the board on my book now but I will still be all over the under when it comes out as well as Florida-

Hey man- didn't mean to sound like such an azz- been listening to the Bama chest thumpers I work with all day- Always good to discuss some football- Boom's rants against the SEC used to fire me up but he does have a point- media nutt licking of the SEC does get old- Don't worry- I hate Saban but have to admit as long as he is at Bama ya'll have a chance at a title-
Anyway- Boom's thread has been hijacked enough- looking foward to this week's games- Good luck everyone!
