Best Conference?
What’s up Mississippi... Zach the intern here, and with State hosting LSU on the 30th and then the college football season kicking off September 1st I started to ponder what the best conferences in college football are.
This is tough for me to say, but the SEC is going to be the best conference this season. With Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas (also known as Darren McFadden), Auburn, and Bama.. the depth of this conference is unbelievable and these teams can all compete for the National Title.
Second best, I’m going to show my Ohio bias and pick the Big Ten, but I can back it up. Three teams ranked in the top ten, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio State are all legitimate BCS contenders. And Penn State, ranked 18th, could be the sleeper team of '07. And speaking of sleeping, you can’t rest on the Fighting Illini and Ron Zook.
Third would be the Big 12. Not as much depth as the first two, but Texas and Oklahoma are both on the verge of playing in Glendale, and the winner of the Red River Shootout will determine which of these two will be there at the end.
Fourth and fifth are tough... ACC or PAC 10? I’m going to have to go with the PAC 10(Also known as USC). The Trojans are going to play for the ADT Trophy come January. But that is all that conference has.... Cal and UCLA are legit, but their not going to be competing for the national title. With Arizona, Arizona State, Stanford, Washington, and Washington State rounding it out... like I said, USC is the PAC 10.
Finally, I'll take the ACC sixth. The conference has depth, with Florida State, Miami, Boston College, and Virginia Tech. But no team screams out at you and says this is the year we make a run for the title. VA Tech is the conference’s only hope but Frank Beamer and company always choke down the stretch. The teams in the ACC will all end up in the middle of the road playing bowls like the Liberty and Motor City. No real Title Game contenders there.
But that is just one intern’s opinion, and it is still August. Many things can change through the course of the season. Tell me what your best conferences for 2007 are, and if you don’t like how I picked them prove me wrong.
Much Love
