Amazing how bipolar us SEC fans are.

Just perusing SEC message boards, it is hilarious to see the difference a week makes to fans of SEC teams, State included. Ole Miss fans were ready to jump off the top ofVaught-Hemingway last week. Georgia fans thought they were about to start a win streak. Florida fans were doubting if they could win the East. etc.etc.

Hell even DURING the games my mood swings are unreal. Maybe its because we all care too much about this crap.

I looked at the Dallas-Houston game this morning and said -- Dallas. Doesn't matter to me in the NFL that one team is 0-2 and the other is 2-0, I've got a good feeling who will win. In college, for obvious reason, it's totally different.

But the little bit I've seen is that losing makes you pessimistic up to the point where you have to win. When the teams hit the 6 loss level with a game or two left you have people getting incredibly woolly, like they're in denial about the impending losing season. Of course, there are exceptions.

that LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and hell, I'll throw in Arkansas, can't all win 9-10 games every season? It's not even possible with mathematics. Someone's gonna have a down year, you just never know who it's going to be. They can't all win10 freakinggames, which seems to be all of their fans' magic number. I credit alot of it to Saban and Alabama raising the stakes causing more of an urgency among the others but firing and rebuilding isn't as easy as a Nick Saban can make it look.

can really graspthe importance of a given team's schedule and the incredible unbalanced nature of college football.I mean a team like UK was gettingvotes for the Top 25 and getting talked about in the media because they were 3-0. Even the Cream, had them ranked like 6 or 7 in his rankings. Did everyone not realize thatat least 9 teams in the SEC would be 3-0 with UK's schedule?

Now people are railing on UGA. UGA has played 3 tough games without their best player. They are still a good football team.

That'smy biggest problem with Boise State. They don't play a single road game that comes close to our road games at Bama, at UF, orat LSU. They call Fresno State one ofBoise's biggest challenges and everyone saw what arguably the worst team in the SEC did to Fresno.

In defense of Boise and TCU, it's a crime that the Big East gets an automatic BCS bid. That conference is 1-10 against AQ schools.

I definitely would not stick a fork in Georgia yet. By their standards they won't have a good year but 7 or 8 wins is still very possible for them. I also don't like the way that some SEC teams are 3 games in (State and Georgia) while others have only played one SEC game (Ole Miss and Bama).
