Obviously coming from a biased pov here, but is Gene Chizik the Worst Coach with a Ring Ever? Its by a mile in the BCS era anyway.Look at his record at ISU and AU without Cam. He makes Mike Shula look like Bear Bryant.

No doubt about it

22-33. In 2.5 years in this conference he's never beaten his 4 yearly rivals in Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, and UGA...and was normally blown out.He's turned AU into Ole Miss...he' s like a in-house imposed NCAA probation.

Certainly bias can play into it, but I don't think you're going to get much argument on this. Just curious how bad they have to get before they actually fire him. A Natty can get in the way of rationale decision making on sacking a coach I'm sure

 

[prefontaine]

Texas has done nothing to stop the WVU offense and are 3 for 3 in 4th down calls. And the defense actually made two stops in a row

I missed the end of this game but am looking at the box. Is the Texas defense really this bad? It's like they'd never seen such an offense before yet half the teams in the Big 12 run it (though none as well tbf)

shocking fact: there is not a single B1G team in the top 25 in the Coaches Poll (OSU not eligible)

 

[prefontaine]

nice slate of top 25 matchups this week:

SC #3 at #8 LSU

KSU #5 at #25 ISU

Stanford #17 at # 7 ND

UT #15 vs #10 OU

A&M #22 at #24 La Tech

and a really weird one as #14 Or St travels to unranked BYU where they are a 4 point underdog

 

[Glass Joe]

shocking fact: there is not a single B1G team in the top 25 in the Coaches Poll (OSU not eligible)

Coaches poll is worthless anyways. That doesnt discount the fact that the B1G stinks this year.

 

[The Commish]

shocking fact: there is not a single B1G team in the top 25 in the Coaches Poll (OSU not eligible)

Not sure why it's shocking They typically start out near the bottom of the preseason polls. A couple losses and they are out of the polls. That's certain to happen once they get into conference play. They don't have the luxury of being a SEC team like UGA who starts way higher than they should and only drops 5-6 places after getting embarrassed. There'll be teams that creep back in next week after wins. Reality is the B1G is down. Heck, I'd even say the ACC is a bit better (certainly at the top).

No we can't. The Big 10 sucks this year. We must harp on it. it really sucks this year. Don't you understand? It really REALLY sucks this year.

There is zero defending the Big 10 this year.

 

[The Commish]

No one's defending the Big Ten....HTH. I just don't see why the fifth coaches' poll of the season not having a Big Ten team in it is "shocking"....again....we can move on.

It's not shocking, which is...well, shocking. The Big 10 used to be the marquee conference and now it's just an also-ran. I don't follow Iowa enough to explain what's going on there, but I really thought at least Michigan St and Wisconsin were making a push to be a perennial contender. Mix them in with an up-and-coming Northwestern, Purdue, and Michigan, newcomer Nebraska, and a one year hiatus from Ohio St and I thought it'd start getting on the right track.Sparty and the Badgers have been awful, Nebraska too, and the rest are still in the growth stage. Ohio St, Michigan, and Northwestern are the only teams in this conference I can watch right now for more than a few mins at a time and the middle one is only because I'm a fan - it's been pretty fugly this year. Little-to-no growth whatsoever.I found myself watching Ohio U this past weekend.

What were you expecting out of MSU and Wisky exactly? Each lost the heart of their teams and clearly didn't have another heart to replace them. Perhaps I'm just a pessimist and assume these kinds of starts? But remember what we are talking about here. We're talking about a specific poll on the fifth week of the season. The tidbit might be "interesting" but I find it far from "shocking". It's going to be a couple years before there are 4-5 really good teams in this conference. Better batten down the hatches!

Reloading, not rebuilding, I thought they were there - dead wrong.

Ohio State is overranked as it is...ahead of LSU and USC in a poll, uhhh, I don't think so. Either team would embarras the Buckeyes.

No reason LSU should be ahead of them. Losing ugly, a near-miss on an ugly loss, and struggling vs. Towson. Towson! May be a better team, but - do it on the field.USC? Could go either way, but it's the Trojans fault for losing. Win games, stay at the top - simple formula.

 

[roadkill1292]

Rankings are for little people.

 

[GeauxTigers]

You guys are ranking Notre Dame too high. They've played some good teams, but no great teams yet. I predict both Stanford and USC beat them.

I think Notre Dame will wax Stanford. I think Notre Dame will beat USC in a low scoring game, like 14-10. USC won't be able to run on Notre Dame.

 

[GeauxTigers]

I could go into another rant about his goofy spread offense and how completely out of place it looks in the SEC, but I'm good for now.

Surely, he will change his offensive philosophy to more of a balance or power game? Are there any indications of this happening?

 

[GeauxTigers]

Obviously coming from a biased pov here, but is Gene Chizik the Worst Coach with a Ring Ever? Its by a mile in the BCS era anyway.Look at his record at ISU and AU without Cam. He makes Mike Shula look like Bear Bryant.

The worst and best thing to ever happen to Auburn was Cam Newton. Yes he brought them a national championship ring, but at the cost of masking how terrible of a coach Chizik is. Chizik would already be fired if it wasn't for Newton. Newton secured Chizik a few more years.

 

[GeauxTigers]

nice slate of top 25 matchups this week:

SC #3 at #8 LSU

I'm curious to see how LSU responds. This game is in Death Valley with a 6pm kickoff. The stadium should be rowdy. injuries keep plaguing LSU though. True Freshman and starting SLB, Kwon Alexander is out for the season with a broken ankle. When he went out last week (and Minter was out with and injury that drive as well) was the drive in the 3rd quarter when Florida started running down LSU's throat.LSU will win this game if:

1. They stop the run. Latimer needs to be wrapped up stopped at the line.

2. LSU's O-Line can lick their wombs, get some injured guys back and open holes for the HBs. LSU needs to run for 200 yards.

The SEC teams are ranked so high because the SEC as a conference is 10x's better than the Big Ten. I should have known you were a Big Ten homer, the way your jealously of the SEC oozes out.

 

[GeauxTigers]

The Big 10 used to be the marquee conference and now it's just an also-ran.

I'm hoping Louisiana Tech and Ohio run the table if everybody else loses.

LOL...I don't know about that. I'm a huge LSU fan and I don't think LSU is a top 10 team right now. I'd put them between 15-10. The offense is a cluster ####. The defense can only keep you in so many games.

La Tech is a solid team. Going to watch them vs A@M this weekend.

Oh good...got the UNCC to the SEC guy here Am I a B1G "homer" because I want all the teams to lose all the time? Is that what makes me a homer? Or is it because I think it's hysterical people put value in the polls this time of year to garner something "shocking" out of them? Or is it because I would probably rank the ACC above them at this point? I didn't think you could be more wrong than you are in the political threads, but it turns out, I was indeed wrong about that

First of all, I made a simple observation about UNCC. I said it was a possibility, not a fact and I put some quality reasons behind it.Second, the political threads are about opinions and I am right in my opinions, according to me. I know you are a bleeding heart liberal and make some tree hugging comments in the political threads, which according to me are wrong.

Then you come into this thread and start #####ing that the polls are biased for the SEC and that the B1G doesn't get the luxury of having many top 25 teams. Cry me a river. Your jealousy is coming out loud and clear. The B1G would have more teams ranked if they won. There is no conspiracy. You win, you get ranked high. It's very simple.

If you don't like the polls, then don't pay attention to them.

Auburn wasn't in a situation like LSU/Bama where they were a perennial top 5 team that always had a shot. I'd imagine most Auburn fans (as with most teams) would take ~3 years of being worse than normal in exchange for a national championship.

If that were true, Tuberville would still be there after going undefeated in 2004.

Outside of the 1 year Cam played, Auburn has been terrible compared to how they were before Chizik got there. Did you forget that Auburn went 13-0 the year Texas won the 'Ship? Auburn would have played in the BCS 'ship had USC and Texas not been undefeated that year.Auburn has been a top 10 team for the last 15 years except for the years under Chizik, sans Cam's year and the last year under Tubby.

Let's not do the 'ship thing. That was the USC-OU year btw.

Do you know how long it takes to type out BCS National Championship?

MNC works just fine and is actually shorter than 'ship.

If you look at the last 30 champ teams....and the 2 seasons following their championship....only twice has a school gone .500 or below. '88 Penn State and '92 Georgia Tech both went 5-6.This season is going to be historically bad.
