The season so far 

Post#1 » by Mr Swagtastic » Sun Sep 29, 2019 11:50 pm

Who are some of your surprise teams and overrated ones?

My Gators have been playing really well although I don't agree with the AP putting them at #10 after a 5-0 start. I think they are better than Notre Dame.

Shocked to see Michigan so low and glad to see FSU outside the top 25

The Gators in their wins haven’t looked too impressive and very mistake prone but I think have improved with the play of their back up QB.

Whats very surprising is Clemson almost losing to UNC, they actually looked beatable.

I’m also sad to see that most likely not one pac 12 team will make the playoff this year. I think their only chance is Oregon we will see though

How do we look now? The Gators defense just beat Auburn and Perine just ran all over them. Florida should be a top 5 team now

Huge win! Didn’t see the game. Can’t give great opinion yet but I see Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Georgia all ahead of Florida in the poll, however if Florida keeps this up they should be scary!

Happy with the rankings #7 if we pull the upset this weekend I can see #4 or potentially #3. Perine has been huge and Swain can be dynamic if he gets space add in the defense and LSU isn't a clear favourite like people are making it out to be

That was a crazy td on the 4th and 1 where it looked like the play was broken. That's all I've seen since I'm watching the Suns preseason, but will try to catch the 4th.

I'm wondering if AZ (currently leading the PAC 12 south) can hang with and/or beat Washington tonight.

Wisconsin should be heavily considered for a playoff spot, will be great to see that Big10 championship game against OSU

Florida has nothing to be ashamed of, they took a great LSU team to the brink. If they pulled off the upset I easily see a top 4 spot especially with the Georgia choke job. LSU is just too scary on the offensive end.

I think they should go with Trask going forward

What happened to Washington this year? Last years lot of people were screaming at me how they will be a powerhouse and deserve more respect but nobody talks about them this year.

Sounds like another down year in general for pac12

The offensive line isn't very good. They lost McGary to the draft. Injuries also. Eason has struggled because of it. His draft stock has plummeted.

Really came out of nowhere. I wonder if Urban would have any interest?

Bigger school? Outside of maybe SC, Washington along with Oregon are the top programs in the Pac. :wink:


Update:
Read on Twitter


That's a mistake. Should have went after a bigger name.

Urban at washington? No offense but i doubt urban would accept a job from anything but blue bloods. No matter Washingtons standing in pac12, they are a second tier program at best nationally.

So assuming lsu beats georgia, do you go with utah or big12 winner?

Interesting. Coach Pete left soon after four years of Kellen Moore, then soon after four years of Jake Browning.
