Yea, for the coin toss, just to see how quick Tennessee is going to score on UCLA...after Tennessee goes up by 21 I'll change the channel.

Auburn vs West Virginia will be a good game that might show the conference leader..even though les miles is gone WVU should still be a good team...and Auburn always has a team with some potential

[semtex]

yea i can't wait for nc state vs south carolina. it's gonna be a good one

There is no way UCLA has a chance against Tenn.

I see UCLA getting dominated by a much faster and talented SEC team.

I hate Tenn. but lets face it, Tenn is usually one of the top 3 teams in the conference.

The are going to do to UCLA like:

S. Carolina did to OSU (twice)
Georgia did to Hawaii
LSU did to OSU
Florida did to OSU


as for the NC State v.s. S. Carolina game....who knows

S. Carolina has a hard time beating any ACC team.

They should have stomped all over NC last year and when Clemson/S.Car played at the end of last season neither team played like they deserved to play on ESPN

If S. Carolina can pull it together, play consistantly and play their assignments I we could see a pretty lopsided score.

S. Carolina has a great defense when they are healthy. Their offense will be shakey this season with Smelly not having the best of seasons last year. We also have a highly anticipated QB Garcia that can't keep out of trouble. Should he get through probation and make it to the playing field this fall we might have some success. The O-line also has to step up. By the end of the season Spurrier had most of the starters on the bench since they were playing like ass and it really picked up toward the end of the season. Unfortunatly when your playing Florida, Tenn and Arkansas it takes alot of stepping up and even though we stayed close we didn't have nearly enough to pull off a win. Losing by a single TD still goes down as a loss.

But going 6-0 at the start of the season, taking out Kentucky and Georgia right off the bad was not a bad start. Then the injuries happening one right after another.

When we were healthy we beat the shit out of no 8 ranked Kentucky and held the heisman candidate QB to less than 150 yards passing.

I think the final was 38-21.

Either way, I can't wait for the season to start.

My prediction. If S. Carolina can beat Georgia, we have a shot at the SEC championship game.

For some reason in recent years the Georgia game is always the game to set the pace for our season.

Being that they are one of the more consistant teams in the SEC i guess it makes sense.

Auburn vs. West Virginia is going to be the most inter-conference game of the season I think. Both teams looks strong and both running the spread offense. It's going to be a great game for sure.

Good thing is i'm an Auburn faithful and i'll be in Morgantown for that game.

[Miami]

8 p.m.- Miami at Florida (ESPN)

Sat., Sept. 20

8 p.m.- Georgia at Arizona State (ABC)

Miami at Florida - I just hope its not a blowout. There is alot of hype over the game sept. 20. I think Miami willl suprise alot of people. They have some good young talent

& Georgia going to Arizona state will be a sneaky little game...

[WonderMike]

Kickoff weekend proved that the ACC is not a strong conference

[dohcdelsol93]

S.Carolina gave NC state a big goose egg

The D came to play. Once the O line got the dust knocked off of their shoulders and started blocking they scored 31 points in two qts.

Smelly looked great, Beecher looked like a Blake "interception" Mitchell.

The throwing game opened up our running game.

We were a little slack on the D against the running game but its only the first game of the season and NC State did have a great O line.

With Ga having a very shaky O-line I see us having a chance!

SEC east! Look out!!!!
