What you fail to realize is that a few years ago, everyone said 2010 would be Bama's year, not 2009. Bama is gonna lose a slew of talent on both sides of the ball. They peaked a year early, and after a 3 loss 2010 campaign, they're losing Julio Jones, Greg McIlroy, Mark Ingram, and a several other starters. Auburn is gonna lose Cam Newton (why would he stick around after a Heisman campaign and all the developing accusations around him), and South Carolina is also full of upperclassmen. LSU may be around next year, but again, they're SEC West.

There is no reason that Florida can't be right back on top of the SEC East next year. For as much as they lost from the 2009 departures, they're so ripe with young blue-chips it's almost not fair. Do some research if you don't believe me. I'm not just waxing poetic about my alma mater.

As far as Oregon, everyone knows they run play after play with rarely 15 seconds in between. Good for them. It's brand new to college football. They're sporting it well while it's hot, and it may win them the big one this year. I wouldn't be mad if it did. But in the long run I just don't think that style has any staying power whatsoever. But hey, if you win a national title doing it, it doesn't matter I guess.

Wait, those other SEC guys aren't stacked with talent either? They all got the recruits man and these Gator bunch haven't show me they're that more special. I forgot about Arkansas too. Losing Cam is going to hurt Auburn big just like losing Tebow hurt the Gators.

I've watched my share of SEC games granted not as much as Pac-10 games. The Gators will probably win the SEC East but after that it's going to be hard to do much. Time will prove me right. USC 2.0.

As for Oregon's style, well, so long as that style wins it will stick. You'll also probably see teams implement the visual cue cards too. NCAA is a copy cat league and people will copy what works and wins.

Well, Lane Kiffin is no Urban Meyer, plus we don't have the sanctions/loss of scholarships that USC is dealing with.
