Never heard of em.....that's what I'm saying. But, they practice day in, and day out with SEC players. Oregon doesn't. On top of that we're only speaking about one position. Consider the O-line and D-line differences. After a few weeks of GA, vanderbilt, Bama, kentucky, SC, Florida, LSU, back to back to back, and sprinkle in some out of conference teams, all these teams that aren't in the SEC that are talkin smack, wouldnt.

I expect Tennessee to have a 8 or 9 win season this year, and I expect Florida to be fully back. I mean, they kinda snuck up on people last year and made it up to second or 3rd or somethin in the polls. Auburn...I'm not sold that they'll be back this year, but they'll be better than last year. Arkansas can't get any worse. Vanderbilt is playing people tougher lately, but I kinda wonder about them now that Little Rodgers is gone. Kentucky and Missouri will still suck.

Agree for the most part with the exception of FL...their offense is still a mess and every bit as bad as last year, if not projected worse...

I think their D will be fine, however from what have been reading/hearing, their O is a very real question mark...

I don't disagree on the fact that certain teams would not perform as well in the SEC as they do in their current conference, I was just talking about how smaller running backs can still have great seasons in the SEC. Perkins was a 1000 yard rusher this past season. Ole Miss' Jeff Scott ran for 850.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of what they did against each team to include the cupcakes...

One of the biggest questions that will surround the 2012 college football season has to do with the SEC Championship Game.

We all know how the game ended.

Georgia rushed a play late in the game instead of clocking the ball and getting off a play that the staff was comfortable with. When the final throw was caught short of the end zone, the clock ran out on the Bulldogs and Alabama won the conference and eventually the crystal football.

Usually these questions are never answered and everything is left to the imagination. What play would have been called if the clock was stopped and the Bulldogs had one final chance to punch the ball in the end zone?

Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo answered that question for all of us, according to Seth Emerson of The Telegraph. It was a play that wasn't in the playbook at all but was something Nick Saban and his staff saw in previous SEC title games.

We had actually gone back to, I don’t know what it was, it was one of the Florida-Alabama games, where Alabama had given up three red zone scores to Florida. It was a play that Florida had actually ran against Alabama. It was an empty set, and had two primary front-side, and a double-slant backside. It was something from ’08 or ’09 that Tebow had completed against them. Because I remember after that game, Kirby was talking about how, ‘We just couldn’t stop them in the red zone.’ So we just studied that hard.

That's right. Georgia was going to hit the Tide with the same formula that the Gators used with Tim Tebow.

Bobo is likely referring to the 2008 SEC Championship Game, when Florida scored 31 points and Tebow had three touchdown passes of five yards or less.

Producing 358 total yards in the game, Florida won the showdown by a score of 31-20.

If you are wondering if this play call would have worked, there was a good chance it would have. Although the players are different, the scheme remains very similar under defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, who is close friends with Bobo.

Florida did a terrific job in that game of spreading the defenders out and putting pressure on the cornerbacks.

On the second touchdown pass (3:03) and third touchdown (7:32), Florida came out in an empty set and took advantage of man-coverage. The idea of this play was for quarterback Aaron Murray to make a quick strike and take advantage of a one-on-one matchup.

Either the lengthy Tavarres King or speedy Malcolm Mitchell would have probably been the target on this play, giving Georgia the best chance to score.

Unfortunately, college football will never know if the final play call was good enough to beat Alabama.

I saw this toady and was going to post it. Sure doesn't make me feel any better, actually kinda worse to be honest. I just still can't help but to believe if we had spiked the ball we'd have pulled it out, regardless of the play call since we should have had at least two shots.

That one hurt though since we lost so many on defense. So many of us UGA fans thought it was our year. Even the way that game played out it looked to be ours right up til "the" play. At least I was feeling it.

I wouldnt give up on this year's defense so fast, grasshopper. Yes, there aren't as many 4 or 5 star players, but the ones that are there seem to hungrier than the others. At least that is what have read/heard, but we all know that doesn't mean anything until the ball is snapped. But, I would rather have hungry, not as highly ranked players that actually want to play for UGA than a bunch of prima donnas that play for themselves...
