Media Mounting Anti-SEC In BCS CG Drive

National Media Mounting Anti-SEC BCS Championship Game Drive

The national media, jealous of the SEC 's domination of the collegiate football stage, is pushing other voters to keep the SEC out of the National Championship Game? What does that say about the other conferences when they have to have the media put together an overt push to force voters to keep the best teams out of the BCS CG?

The SECW is playing themselves out of a shot at playing in the championship game this year.

LSU very well may have the best defense in the nation - big, fast, and can stop the run. Offense - well its exciting to say the least and the two QB deal is working for them.

Alabama - their defense is a year away - offensive, again QB is this their issue.

Auburn - still a year away from being a truly dominating team - Roof just isn't cutting on the defensive.

There isn't a defense in the SEC that can slow down Oregon - just ask Doolittle.

TCU - neck and neck with LSU 's defense. Smaller in size - but a hell of a lot faster..

Unless they are indeed a one-player-wonder ... and that one-player might take his Heisman and turn pro after the season.

Auburn's HS offense will survive and prosper when Newton moves on. I recall them winning 8 or so games last season with X at the QB position.. Chizik went the JUCO route and its worked.

Defense was the one thing many expected to see major improvements this season - even though Chizik doesn't have his own players in his system..

Auburn's offense has nowhere to go but down after they lose Cam "I'm getting a Dell!" Newton. They will never have another QB so tailor fit to that offense as he is. This is not to say they wont be good (I actually like Malzahan as a college coordinator, half wish UT had hired him), but will never be this good again.

now, if their D improves they may not have to be this good on offense to win games.

that ole fashioned HS offense works well with all types of QB's. Chizik does a fair job "eyeballing" talent - has a keeper at the RB position (the kid outta Arkansas) some talent at the WR position - and replacing Newton is sorta like replacing Manning..

Put A. Dalton or the kid from Oregon D. Thomas in this offense and what happens? Maybe not as much fun to watch - but it would continue to click on each and every cylinder..

Well, yes. This well? No....and that's my point. Yes, replacing Newton is kinda like replacing Manning...the offense wont be as good. It's possible Auburn will be better as a team after Newton, as UT was after Manning (for a year, anyway)...but they defiantly wont be better as an offensive team.

What happens to the Cow College offense when Malzahn likely leaves at the end of this year and accepts a head coaching gig?

Historically, a 1 loss SEC champ has done OK in the NC title game. The only way they can ensure that there isn't an SEC national champion is to keep them out of the contest!

Its a HIGH SCHOOL OFFENSE - I've already posted elsewhere - guys who have the ability to run with it. There are a number of quality guys out there who Chizik can reach out and hire.

#1 - Gus ain't gonna take some run of the mill gig. No Monroe's, Western Kentucky, etc.

#2 - look at his track record - he'll head west

#3 - Chizik knows coaching talent and guessing here will help Gus.

What does the future hold for Auburn University with Chizik as their HC? Again his resume' is there for you to review.. He is only in his second season rebuilding their program. Zipster made the point the Tigers have to improve defensively to be a consistent challenger for the SECW crown..

There are way too many QB's who know the type of HS offense Gus runs - and how well they could run it at Auburn if they were given the opportunity.

Example how about a kid with #'s as follows - 164-243 2,242 yds. 19 TD's 5 Ints. And doesn't have the depth or horsepower at RB as does Auburn (understand that that ole fashioned HS offense is a run offense)

I'm not one to predict the future for Auburn's offense - but there is too much evidence out there that the talent is available to Auburn (and yes Chizik is getting a share of that talent) - kids who've spent a lot of time running this style of offense - QB's and RB's.. Saying the offense won't be "as good" is perception.

I know there are many kids who can run this offense. There just arent any others like him. Saying the offense wont be as good isnt perception, its reality. They can make up for this in other areas, or they can even run a different offense and maybe improve...but they arent going to run the same thing just as well without him as they do with. You arent giving Newton enough credit for how talented he actually is; particularly in an offense like this.

Brenham is just up the road - and JUCO ball is a big deal around here, especially with several locals kids who played ball with him - and helped him win a JUCO NC. - somehow you saying I, personally don't give Newton enough credit, is incorrect. Blinn is a damned good football program - and have been before Newton. Gotta give Chizik and Gus a lot of credit in taking a risk on him. Gotta wonder how good Newton could be if he could run the complete GusBall offensive package instead of taking the detour to Blinn..

Offense at Auburn. This is only the 2nd year - and the SEC hasn't experienced how really good this offense can be. Implying that it has peaked in its second season is just wrong headed. It may not be as exciting to watch - but the thoughts of having a Kellen Moore type QB - combined with a Bo Jackson type RB has its upside..

Moore's #'s 155 - 216 2,372 yards 20 TD's 4 Ints.

L. James running the ball - 196 - 1,341 yds - 20 TD's

its not hard to imagine how good this offense could be with two (2) RB's rushing for 1,500 yards each - and a QB chunking it for > 3,000 yards.. With out the talent of Cam Newton at QB.
