The power has shifted for sure.....it used to be Florida, Georgia and Tennessee that ruled the SEC......I think it'd be safe to say that at least right now at least the pac-12 north is better than the SEC east

My SEC brethren wouldn’t be happy with me agreeing with you on this…but I think you’re right. In my opinion, Oregon and Stanford are better than all of the teams in the East. Oregon State would be able to compete, Washington State would be on the same level as Vandy and Kentucky and I’m not sure what to think about Washington until I see the new QB play.

Question…how many conference games do you have to play? Is it your division plus 3 like us?

We miss UCLA and Utah this season... Utah got kinda lucky with their first P12 schedule... they miss Oregon and Stanford, but play SC on the road...

Ah…I knew that…y’all play 3 OOC games we play 4. I don’t know why it slipped my mind for a bit. Long day I suppose.

Hell ya... they also get UW, ASU and Oregon St at home (second tier p12 teams)... and Cal, UCLA and WSU on the road (bottom half teams). Pretty cushy if you ask me.... but they do have two road OOC games (BYU, Pitt) not sure who the hell scheduled those, but maybe they should look into changing that up in the future . Last minuted availability might have been a factor due to their move...

Pitt isn’t very strong…I’m holding judgment on BYU until I see them play Ole Miss

I tend to agree, but its always a bit more difficult for west teams going east... a 12:30 start time is 9-10 in the morning for the players... just something to consider when looking at the schedule...

BYU as a whole might not be as good as they were the past few years but Jake Heaps is/will be very good
