Ok, not quite but in the SEC this may hold the same significance. Troubled LSU QB Ryan Perrillioux has been dismissed from the team, FINALLY.

Being a Big Ten fan I have grown to despise all things SEC. Yes, the glaringly obvious reason is the past two national championship games but I also hate the fact that they truly believe they are completely dominate over everyone. NO! Just Ohio State.

Perrillioux’ dismissal from the team really leaves a huge void at QB, similar to the one Michigan is facing. Couple this with the losses of Jacob Hester and Early Doucet and the Tigers could become an offensively challenged squad. This isn’t to imply that Les Miles’ cupboard is bare as I fully expect the defending national champions to be a quality team but you have to no longer expect them to win their division. Bleaux Tigers.

I’d look for Florida or Georgia to come out of the SEC this year as champ. Auburn and LSU will be competitive, South Carolina will be overrated as usual, and Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide (and why the heck is their mascot an elephant?) to be medicore again. The surprise team of the year may just be Arkansas; especially if Michigan transfer Ryan Mallett receives a waiver from the NCAA allowing him to play this season under offensive genius Bobby Petrino.
