Is the SEC West Over-Rated?

BigdaddyQH · Jun 10, 2015

If, like I do, you believe they are, then there is a great opportunity to make some big money this season. Everyone lines up like sheep to bless the SEC West and declare them the best division in College Football, but that is simply not the case. Need proof?

Last season the SEC West teams made their mark by defeating a lot of cream puff non-con teams and beating up on themselves. LSU's 4 point win over Wisconsin (the same Wisky team that was dismembered 59-0 by Ohio State in their CC game) was about as good as it got. Then these teams beat each other up. The proof came when these teams got their tails handed to them in their Bowl Games, going 2-5. The two teams that finished the lowest in the SEC West were the two teams that won.

Now all seven of these teams are ranked in the Top 25. Are you kidding me? Let's look at Mississippi State. Cream puff non-con games at Southern Mississippi, Northwestern State, Troy, plus a home game against Kentucky should give them 4 wins, but then what? Who do they beat? Even La. Tech is not a sure fire win. Prescott is back, but his O line is not.

Ole Miss is in about the same shape. 4 cream puff non-con games plus Vandy at home give them 5 wins, but who do they upset? These two teams are NOT good teams. They would not finish in the Top 5 of the Pac 12 South, and maybe the Top 4 of the Pac 12 North.

Depending on the lines, here is who I look to fade early in the SEC West. Alabama (currently -13 1/2) vs Wisconsin. Auburn (currently -12 1/2) vs Louisville. LSU (current unk) @ Syracuse. I am looking to get 14+ points but will probably not get that. Ole Miss vs Fresno State. (looking for 21). Miss. State vs La. Tech (this may be a Tech + ML play).

The SEC West took it on the chin in the bowl games recently but I wouldn't read too much into that. There's not
a better Division in college football...NONE!

All but one team from the West will open in the top-25 this fall and that team (Tx A&M) won't be far out.

(FUCK, I forgot to get permission from your thread policeman to post in one of your threads). Damn RT,
sorry about that &%@#(*&^$%(*#@.

All SEC West teams have six games against their intradivison rivals. These games are all slobber-knockers. The difference can be which teams they have drawn from the East, as to making the schedule even more difficult. Alabama definitely has the toughest draw with Georgia and Tennessee. The others:

Arkansas plays at Tennessee and home to Missouri; Auburn plays at Kentucky and host Georgia; LSU is at South Carolina and home to Florida; Ole Miss is home to Vanderbilt and at Florida; Mississippi State is home to Kentucky and travels to Missouri.

No easy schedules for SEC West teams!

We shall see. All I know is that the SEC West is very over-rated and last years Bowl games proved that. Alabama has not won a bowl game in two years. Ditto Auburn. LSU is 1-1. Arkansas is 1-0 crushing a very weak 6-7 Texas team last season. Both Mississippi teams are 1-1, with State's win coming over Rice. Only A&M has a winning record of 2-0. This adds up to 6-7 which is certainly nowhere close to a stellar record. The Pac 12 South's record for the same period is is 6-3.

I made a ton fading your crappy Sooners (5-8 ATS after a 3-1 Start). Do you ever know what you are talking about? Have you ever won anything? Apparently not, because you are still working like a slave to make enough money to cover your losses during the season. Let's see how big your mouth is when the odds come out. I will pick my fades and I dare you to fade me. Consider yourself called out Okie.

You got off that Big 10 subject pretty fast (doing the wanking motion).
