A couple of things on this blustery Saturday afternoon (at least where I am)….

1. Broome’s 21 point, 20 rebound game today is the first 20-20 double double game for an auburn player since………1989… or 35 years ago.

We were really bad in 1988-89 and 1989-90 so I can’t instantly remember who did that….I’ve done all I can to forget both years….but I do know I was 35 years younger then!

2. The Alabama vs Mississippi All-Star game was fun to watch….very evenly matched & competitive game (a lot of them have not been).

Both QBs (Knight & Lacey) played well; Lacey looked better than I’ve ever seen him look. I finally see what UT and others have seen in him.

Knight was spectacular at time but played behind a below par offensive line in an offensive system I hate…too many passes behind the line if scrimmage or less than 5-6 yards down field….one of those “quick” passing scheme offensive systems.

Knight looks good in a football uniform….looks every bit of 6’5” and may be taller. His ball is live and “HOT”….every pass he threw was a fastball….didn’t see any change-ups or touch passes.

Not “quick” when he pulls it down to run and is still increasing his stride the first 5-6 yards….but once he hits his stride….he is Secretariat, really impressive for someone his size.

Watch it on YouTube if you missed it, and decide for yourself. I think he will need some development but he has all the tools.

massive jump in overall strength of the conference and significantly further ahead of where big12 was

heres torvik 2024 right now compared to this time last year (so probably a better comparison than the kenpom above)

WAB (wins above bracket) is a pretty good measurement of how well a team/conference performed against the scheduled competition. +1.7 is just insane compared to the conferences last year. big12 was seen as THE best conference on they were barely even




HOW THE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE LINES UP

you have to look at the "conf sos remain column" but auburn is currently at 8th in terms of difficulty. others within "title race range" (which is going to change within first 3-4 games drastically). tennesee 10th, florida 13th, bama 5th, ketnucky 4th, tamu 14th, miss st 12th)

curent title odds:

probably 13 wins gets a share of the title. 11-12 wins would take a lotta weird/close games which might happen this year. 14 should get a banner/close to sole title



THE TOP 25 PLAYERS:

vs D-1 opponents
