Title: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 12, 2012, 08:54:24 PM We all know Alabama v Michigan. What do you think about these?
S. Carolina/Vandy: I can definitely see an upset here in Nashville. Very important game for Vandy. Kentucky/Louisville: The end of Joker beginning in Louisville? Auburn/Clemson: After eating Chick Filet, Clemson will feast on Auburn for dessert. Too much offense for a new D coordinator to handle. Huge game for both programs. Tennessee/N.C. State: UT has 20 returning starters, but what quality are they. I still think UT wins this one on semi-neutral site. :popcorn2: Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: 2Stater on August 12, 2012, 09:13:48 PM We all know Alabama v Michigan.

Louisville is going to be stronger under Charlie Strong (no pun intended) and will beat up on Kentucky. I too, see Clemson beating the barn, handily. NC State wins at home. Bray is all UT has. He won't be enough. JMHO.

Also, UT & NC State are in Atlanta, I think that may give UT a slight edge. :dog: Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: 2Stater on August 13, 2012, 07:15:47 AM Vandy could definitely be a trap game for SC, but i don't think they can hang with them the whole game.

Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: bamaphil on August 13, 2012, 07:36:29 AM SC wins easily.
Kentucky loses to Louisville. Clemson dominates. Tennessee barely escapes with a win, avoiding a colossal embarrassment to themselves and the SEC.

This is the big unknown about Auburn and what their season hangs on. The D coordinator has to be better than the previous guy. I think the offense for AU is in disarray with no real solid RB and the QB position looks confused and weak. These two teams are very confusing and contradictory and this game is HUGE for both teams. This will be an interesting game. :popcorn2: Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: ricky023 on August 13, 2012, 11:38:47 AM I think USCe comes out over Vandy because of the wiser coach. I hate to say it but Spurrier and their RB forgot his name, will win that game.
Next comes Louisville just because they can this year. I believe in Coach Sweeney because he is family. Their great jailbird or should I say running back should not be a distraction this time. Clemson and auburn will be mostly Clem son because of Offense and defense. Clemson should win the kicking game returns or punting average. This was a lot of fun. RTR! Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: BAMADCHAMPSHIPS on August 13, 2012, 12:43:33 PM I am going to the Vandy/SC game with my friend. I hope SC wins because the car ride home will be a little uncomfortable. He's got high hopes for SC.

Don't count on me for the knowledge on setting it up.

Maybe we all suggest games to be on the pick list for the week and we take the 10 most popular. Of course if Smitty wants to run it again this year that would be great, but I haven't seen him around in a while.

I hope everything is going well for them.

I hope he come back. :-* Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: Catch Prothro on August 13, 2012, 02:02:12 PM SC wins easily. This sounds fairly accurate to me.Kentucky loses to Louisville. Clemson dominates. Tennessee barely escapes with a win, avoiding a colossal embarrassment to themselves and the SEC. The following weekend we get to see TA&M and Missouri in SEC play, versus Florida and Georgia. That will give us a good view of how these schools are going to manage in the SEC this year. And I really don't think I can pull for either Florida or TAM in that game. Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: pmull on August 13, 2012, 02:11:35 PM There are several good games for the opening weekend. Too bad the barn-Clemson game is only 1 hour earlier than ours. I think it will be a good game. Both teams are poorly coached IMO. The barn has too many holes. The new DC will help but they don't have any size at LB and the DB's are not SEC caliber. I think they have a decent DL. I think the O-line and running game will struggle. That puts a lot od pressure on a not very good QB. I think Clemson wins by 10. The barn also needs to worry about Miss State in game 2.

I speculated before, that maybe he was in love since he found a new LF. Must be very powerful. :hug: SC, looks like it's up to you to do the pool. Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: pmull on August 13, 2012, 02:54:46 PM I miss Smitty too and don't want to take away from everything he did to help SC get this board started and his help in the football pool. But as I recall Smitty picked the 10 best games with the spreads from the vegas lines. He turned it over to SC from there. If SC needs any help I think he knows there are several of us who will be glad to help out anyway we can.

Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: cbbama99 on August 13, 2012, 03:47:33 PM I think Vandy-USCe has the potential to be the second best game in the conference first week.
USCe by 10 Louisville routs UK by 28 Barn squeaks it out by 3 UT in a squeaker by 6 Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 13, 2012, 04:49:50 PM It sounds like we already have 4 + the Bama game. Any nominations for the other 5 games?

OUnorth is coming off a strong season, and .... well, we all know about PSU.
Title: Re: Interesting SEC games for Auguest 30, August 31, & Sepember 1 Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 13, 2012, 08:30:44 PM Does anyone happen to know of a web site/news feed that has a schedule database in a simple format that can be easily parsed by an automated program? Most of the sites I've looked at have everything embedded within their web page, which makes it difficult to extract the schedule info. I am thinking about trying to write a piece of code that pulls the schedule in and creates a poll for everyone to vote for which games they want in the contest for that week. Then I could pretty much put the contest on auto pilot. Maybe one of the betting sites has a feed that includes the line too.

It wouldn't be difficult to get it working initially, but then if they tinkered with their site layout it would break. It would be a high maintenance solution, which sort of defeats the purpose.
