 7-5 (3-5) 4th ACC Coastal |
I hate the Big XII with the white-hot passion of a thousand suns and would normally cheer for North Carolina in this contest, but Missouri briefly helped put the Big XII Conference's existence in jeopardy, so I've got to pull for them in this one. No guarantees on this in the future though seeing as I love watching our rivals fail miserably (6-6 Florida, back to back losing seasons for Tennessee lol.) That being said, I hope Missouri wins eleventy bajillion to zero and chants "SEC! SEC ! SEC!" all night despite me hating that chant.
My irrational hatreds aside, neither team has done anything particularly impressive, unless you count beating Iowa State as impressive (ZING!) North Carolina beat four BCS conference teams that are bowl bound and Missouri beat three. Aside from an early season loss to Arizona State, every team Missouri lost to had at least nine wins, so they've at least been measured against solid(ish) competition. I'm going to give Missouri the edge here as they actually have a head coach and are looking to impress their new conference whereas North Carolina is looking ahead to their future under Larry Fedora and is probably a bit unorganized. Additionally, Missouri finished with three straight wins and North Carolina has stumbled badly in the final half of the season.

2012 Schedule out yet?

Not that I can tell
I’m not surprised to not see it. There were merely media reports that it was “expected.” I don’t think the conference ever said “it will be released on Monday.”
Trophy now symbolic of Indy Bowl. DO NOT FIX
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Lets go Mizzou TIGGERS!! (my mom is from Colombia, just saying)
I LOVE THE ASTROS. Now lets win something!

CRAP!!
I am hearing Bama may loose the Vandy game. They may have to go to LSU,Arkansas, & Texas A&M The to A&M game makes this an even tougher road for a younger team next year. Any word on the Georgia game?
PS……How the hell can UNC have all this NFL talent and really SUCK as a college football team? LOVE IT!!!!

No game against Georgia next year.
For the second straight year, Georgia ducks Alabama, LSU and Arkansas.
Thirteen.
REALLY!!!
That gives them the edge for the East in 2012 IMO. I do think South Carolina will be tough next year.

Let me tell you
based on what I’m hearing about the schedule etc. I’d say UGA is almost as good as in the SECCG next year. Only thing they will get killed again no matter which of 4 West Teams – Bama, LSU, Arky or A&M they play. AU, Ole Miss and MSU will not challenge for the West in 2012 or any time soon thereafter. I only put A&M in because I think they may have something in their new coach.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
TAMU
I can’t imagine them challenging in year one.

I like tough schedules,
especially for away games.

Hear me Out.....
How does this sound…..move Bama and Auburn to the East. Put the new teams in the West. Bama can keep their Tenn game because they are on the same side. LSU will them be the permanent team from the new west.
PS…..UNC sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!
You mean potential rematches every year with LSU even if we lose? But we don’t deserve it!

At least two Big 12 teams will finally get some respect nationally...
as well as all of their recruits immediately getting an additional star from the recruiting services, and knocking about .3 seconds off their 40 times, and…
Thirteen.

Ive read that we get Missouri and A&M at our place.
Watching preseason football is like listening to a girl talk about her day. Boring, and pointless, but you're eager for some action.
