Week 3 LATTICE Blog

Week 3 is quickly upon us, and we've already had a major shift in the college landscape. What would have been the Game of the Week, has become an afterthought due to the Arkansas Razorbacks collapse in Little Rock vs. Louisiana-Monroe. The Razorbacks have fallen faster than Ochocinco.

And just like that, the #23 Tennessee Vols hosting the #18 Florida Gators is the biggest game in the SEC ! Gameday changed their plans, and will roll into Knoxville guns a blazin'. Listening to the sports talk radio here in the Volunteer state, you would think the Vols are BCS contenders. In reality, they face a road-tested Gator team who just welcomed College Station into the SEC, and beat a solid Aggie squad. This game will have major implications on how a suddenty tough SEC East shakes out.

We have a great SEC vs. Big 12 tussle in The Grove as the #14 Texas Longhorns roll into Oxford and battle the Ole Miss Rebels. This match-up of amazing female fans in one town could send tremors through the entire southern U.S. on Saturday. We also have another BCS intra-conference battle with the Missouri Tigers hosting the Arizona State Sun Devils. In the best non-conference game of the week, the #20 Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel to East Lansing to face the #10 Michigan State Spartans. As you will see below, all of these teams have earned their place on this blog by cultivating some of the finest coeds in the land.

Week 2 Lattice 2012

The SEC clearly made it a priority to give the new kids in town a great conference home opener to welcome them to the SEC. We have our Game of the Week featuring #7 Georgia Bulldogs traveling to Missouri for an SEC East battle. Not to be outdone, the #24 Florida Gators have to go down to Texas AM and take on the Aggies and their 12th Man posse. I think the College Station atmosphere will quickly become one of the toughest places to play. We also have an interesting SEC/PAC 12 battle as the Washington Huskies travel into Death Valley at night to play #3 LSU Tigers. And the game added simply so I can put a ton of UCF pictures, has the Knights or Orlando traveling to the Horseshoe to face the #14 Ohio State Buckeyes and Urban Meyer. Feast your eyes !

Eureka !!! I figured out how to add video.

LATTICE 2012 is back, and it looks to be yet another crazy year. The SEC theme will be more interesting than ever as THE LEAGUE welcoms Texas AandM and Missouri from the BIG 12 to put us at 14 teams. This will add some great games to the weekly slate, meaning we'll likely have more games each week than ever before. We will have 15 participants with a weekly pot of $75. Avery has bowed out, but we welcome Mr T Best to the fray. Without further ado, The Lattice Blog.


Welcome to the SEC Missouri Tigers and Texas AandM Aggies. Looks like you all will fit right in.




How much better can it get ? The 2011 SEC East champs travel to Nashvegas to take on the up and coming Commodores on the ESPN opening game ! Can the Dores keep building on the momentum for last year, or fall back in the gutter of the SEC ? James Franklin is the new hot coach matching wits against the Ol' Ball Coach and a stout defense. You can't ask for a better SEC opener than this.

#9 SOUTH CAROLINA




VANDERBILT




The showdown at JERRY'S WORLD in Arlington, TX places 2 perennial powerhouses against each other on opening weekend. Will Bama feel the affects of placing half their starters in the draft, or can the young guns waiting in the wings take out Denard Robinson, the most dangerous weapon in college football?

#2 ALABAMA




#8 MICHIGAN




We have one more great match-up opening weekend, with Michigan State hosting the Boise State Broncos. BSU is always willing to play anywhere, anytime to help build their BCS case. Can the Spartans ruin the Broncos title hopes in Week 1, or will BSU send a message that they aren't going away even after losing a ton of talent ? Clearly they still have plenty of that off the field.
