I agree. I don’t think there’s a team in the big 12 even close them. It’s going to take a big turnover game from Murray or WVU lighting up the scoreboard for 60 for OU to not run the table in conference play imo.

Crazier things have happened concerning a loss. Kentucky returns nearly every starter from a bowl team (minus QB) with one if the top RB's around in Snell. Could go either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I concur. While that's going to be somewhat disappointing for those spoiled by Baker's production, yeah, I think it's gonna be a banner year for the run game.

Butch “Hustle Points” Jones had Tennessee playing far below their talent. Florida hasn’t been Florida since Saint Tebow was 3:16ing the end zones. Muschamp was still spinning his wheels in Columbia. Stoops had his shot. Mullen taking over UF, Pruett at UT, Carolina, Mizzou looking like decent teams. Kentucky has definitely fallen to back of the pack. Still solid but not what they could have been with those breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware of the hatred between Kentucky and Miss State lol. So they have A&M and Miss State from the West. I would predict Kentucky would lose both of those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rivalries are mostly jokes to me, I like the LSU/Florida rivalry though, there's bitterness there. Heck they have us and Mizzou, that's garbage besides the huge trophy that goes to the winner, I'd rather it be us/Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are very good and very traditional rivalries. They must stay imo. So if they stay, how do you find a system that maintains those games? I’m all ears if you have a better solution.

Rivalries are sacrificed all of the time. Nebraska/Oklahoma wasn’t too big to stop. Texas/Texas A&M wasn’t too big to stop. Kansas/Missouri wasn’t too big to stop. and there are others.

Lobo97 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 The wins that 'earned' Kentucky a bowl bid last season... Southern Miss E Kentucky South Carolina E Michigan Missouri Tennessee Vanderbilt Unless you're referring to their game with Murray State, their match-up with A&M is only going one way. It'll be just as much of a gimme for A&M as UAB and UL Monroe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the sec teams cry as much about scheduling as big 12 fans do. I haven’t heard too many complain. Everyone knows if you’re gonna win it all you have to beat the good teams anyway. If auburn or anyone else wanted an easier path to the title they would just join an easier conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
