crimson and white roundtable: realignment edition
this week's questions are brought to you by alabama gameday.
Which non-conference home-and-home series would you most like to see?
i'm going to pick a couple. first of all, only a couple of conferences qualify...the acc, the big 12, and the pac 10. sorry big 10, but you do nothing to excite me. well an easy answer for the acc is clemson. i've always thought/heard that they have a fairly sec-ish atomosphere over there (the real death valley...what??). for the big 12, give me the 'horns. i live amongst them, they are routinely good, and they are one of very few teams that have a winning record against the tide all time. and finally, give me usc from the pac 10. anytime i can get increased pete carroll its a good thing.
Which of the following is the most likely win for Alabama this year: LSU, Tennessee or Auburn?
i think the liklihood is almost dead even with these three for various reasons (player losses, coaching changes, etc), but good god i HOPE its lsu.
Who will be the #2 quarterback coming out of Fall practice?
i can't think of a single reason why it wouldn't be mcelroy. whether or not someone can take that spot during the course of the season remains to be seen, but i can't see anyone moving up over the course of a few weeks of fall practice.
If you could swap any two SEC schools for any other schools in the Southeast, which would they be?
great question. first of all, who would i dump?? i can't imagine anyone not voting to dump vandy unless they're trying to keep the conference gpa up or something. i think the second choice is a little tougher, but for me its gotta be the 'cocks. they are one of the last 2 teams to join the conference, so they don't have the history or long terms ties. obviously arkansas joined the same year as the 'cocks ('91), but the hogs have a much more storied program, so they're staying.
now, who to add?? go ahead and give me both papa bowden (the 'noles) and baby bowden (clemson). why?? here are just a few reasons: geography, style of play (see sec speed), and they already have some loose ties in terms of recruiting battles and coaching staff incest. there is just one little problem with this scenerio though...with no 'cocks there's no spurrier. don't worry, in this little dream scenerio kentucky hires spurrier so we can keep his entertainment value.
the bowden bowl comes to the sec east

Hell - just get rid of Kentucky. I'd rather have the Cocks anyway. Now if you start to factor basketball in, then you have to keep Kentucky and I guess the Cocks have to go.
oh i was definitely factoring all sports into my decision.
