ETA: lulz at ChristopherVaughn's comment at the bottom.

No surprises there. Other than KeKe being left off.

"Returning All-America had nine sacks and will pace a D that ranked second in 2011."

I still find it funny that we were second in defense last year...ummm, try playing that schedule that we had and do better than we did

I honestly think our defensive stats will turn heads this season, especially because of the lighter schedule.

Apparently, he thinks that the SEC isn't really that good until they prove themselves against the best non-SEC teams, on the road, late in the season, bowl games don't count. He has a very specific measure of greatness.

I think the SEC has plenty of "traditional football programs" in the conference and everyong plays someone "late in the season" and "on the road". What is your point Mr. CVaughan? Seriously? Is he trying to compare the rest of the country to Notre Damn??!?!?! HA!

LOL at Bama and LSU would lose to Wisconsin on the road. Yes, it wouldn't be a cakewalk but wouldn't guarantee a loss.

Not to mention that Florida, USCe, and UGA all play quality non-SEC teams on the road, alte in the season, every other year.

I disagree with you.













































It would be a cakewalk.

Happy to see Wing getting some recognition. I don't think I've ever witnessed a punter of his caliber (although I admittedly don't pay a whole lot of attention to punters).

He can boom the ball and knock it inside the 5 with consistency.


All others were well deserved too. Now they need to focus on being on the list at the end of the season.

If I was an offensive player, I'd take this personally. :banghead
