Alright Pulse, the season is right around the corner and there have been some major shake ups in some prominent teams in the off season.

So far we've seen Urban Meyer take over at Ohio State which is going to be very interesting. Especially, since I'm a huge Michigan fan. I still think Big Blue is going to smack the Buckeyes in the face again this season.

Also LSU's Heisman finalist, Tyran Mathieu aka Honey Badger, was dismissed from the team for violating team rules. Its been said McNeese State (of FCS) has already contacted him to come play for them. Also, UGA running back, Brandon Crowell, was dismissed from the team for an arrest, but he is going to be playing at Alabama State this year. Not a good way for the SEC to start off.

Anyway, lets get the discussions going!

Swamps I liked ya until I saw you were a Michigan fan lol

I'm excited for the Urban era. Not as excited for this year since the Buck are not bowl eligible.

The Bucks will just have to use Michigan as their bowl game this year. There's nothing wrong with playing spoiler, especially to the team up north.

One thing I look forward to is seeing Texas A&M being manhandled by the SEC this season. Also, WVU has joined the Big XII. They'll probably fair pretty well since they've been the powerhouse in the Big East for a lot of the last decade. I'm projecting them finishing about 3rd. Oklahoma I'm sure will win the conference and Texas and/or Oklahoma State and/or TCU all have a good shot at finishing ahead of WVU.

As far as the BCS National Championship goes, I'm thinking LSU or Alabama vs. Oklahoma. I think Oregon might be able to contend for a shot if they get past USC and everything goes according to plan as well.

I disagree—this is a great way for the SEC to start off, because it puts my Alabama Crimson Tide on the path to claiming the SEC Championship yet again. Also, let me explain a bit behind my fandom: I will always pull for Alabama over all, but I have a bunch of teams that I love to watch on Saturdays. I can always dig on my home boys, North Carolina, and also like to watch other nearby ACC teams like N.C. State and Clemson. I will watch just about any SEC team play, excluding Vandy and Kentucky. I can dig on Notre Dame, and the service academies (Army, Air Force, Navy), and most teams in the Big XII , PAC-12, and the WAC. I love Marshall like a special little brother, and can dig on some Big East and Big Ten schools, in moderation.

In other words, I'm watching multiple games between Thursday and Saturday, not just Crimson Tide games. I say that because from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM local time, there are twenty-four football games on television for me. Throw in a slew of my favorite movies on TV tonight (Fail-Safe '64, Zombieland), the Braves, Cubs and Reds all on TV today, the U.S. Women's Soccer Team playing a friendly, U.S. Open Tennis coverage, the Nationwide Series in Atlanta and DOCTOR WHO's season premier, and I may die today. I'm not even kidding, there's like a 62.6% chance I will spontaneously combust.

Braxton Miller will win a heisman. Maybe not this year but he will win one

UGA is now 4-0! However, they have beaten a bunch of nobodies so far. Looking at the rest of the schedule there is really only one team that could beat them and that is Florida. That game will more than likely decide who goes to the SEC Championship.

Today's a huge day for the SEC.

The SEC Championship matchup's going to be a great one.

Come on BAMA!

Man, this year's SEC Championship Game should go down as the best one ever. It was a very brutal matchup for both teams as they both played great. Alabama was down 21-10 to comeback and win the game overall 32-28 with A.J. McCarron's GW-touchdown pass to Amari Cooper.

The BCS Title game should be a matchup for the ages. Can't wait for January 7th!
