Dennis Dodd can't count

"We'll have, at best, only one undefeated team in the SEC this season".

That's how Dodd starts his September 23rd column, titled, Family feuds might cost SEC in national picture.

What the hell kind of a conference would ever have more than two undefeated teams in it? How do you decide who wins the conference? And even if there are two undefeated teams in the SEC come the first weekend in December, wouldn't one of them end up losing on that day anyway?

At least in the Pac-10, we play a round-robin so a team has to prove itself against every single other team in the conference. We don't expect undefeated teams, because we know how tough the Pac-10 is.

The comments to the column (bar the first one from an SEC fan, who later apologizes for not knowing anything about football outside the SEC) are pretty intelligent, though, because Everyone agrees that Dennis Dodd can't count.

I saw that; he claims he transposed Oregon (#5) and Cal (#13). I believe him.

How else are SEC teams going to make it to a bowl game. They have to schedule those four cupcake games all at home, so they only have to win 3 SEC games which they play four at home. The SEC fans think that their conference is so outstanding that you can't win a SEC road game. I'm surprised they play as many SEC games as they do now. Almost all schedule at least one 1AA school.

Hey, what's up with this site???

I guess you guys are too busy to watch any of the games (BTW, Cal won and USC lost).

If you have a blog and no one posts, does it make a sound in the forest of falling trees?

Hmm, now the only hope for "even 1" undefeated Pac 10 team is ASU. Even when your sturdy golden bear knew all they had to do was beat OREGON STATE to claim #1? I could care less about injuries. Kentucky beat LSU without 4 starters due to injury.

You know it, you tell the story, you tell the whole damn world this is beaVEr territory!!!
