Whats going on with the SEC?

[Mac4Lyfe]

You're not serious, but in any case..

I was talking to Mac4lyfe specifically and used obvious hyperbole to stress the absurdity of his statement, that the SEC "routinely has 5 teams in the top 10", and highlighted this absurdity by posing a challenge to him to find one example, let alone "routine" occurences. Nothing agreed upon, nothing official. Explicitly, I owe you nothing.

And yes, that was the only time ever. http://blogs.tampabay.com/gators/200...ts-record.html

Do you speak English or Habla Espanol??? If you reread my post I was talking about recruiting numbers. The SEC routinely has 5 of the top 10 spots in RECRUITING. Hello Macfly??? You randomly take a quote without reading the context.

I follow the SEC and B10 religiously. There's not as huge a gap as people want to make but the SEC, top to bottom is better. There are several teams in the SEC that can and have won MNC the past 20 years (UGA, Auburn, UT, UF, LSU, and Bama). In the B10 you basically have OSU, UM, and PSU. I don't buy Wisky or Iowa as legitimate National championship contenders and with UM being so bad it weakens the league. The middle of both leagues are about equal and the bottom as well.

Not a big difference overall but the SEC has a huge edge in overall talent. that's why I mentioned the recruiting numbers. The Big10 may actually have the edge in coaching. Guy's like Ferentz, Tressel and Joe Pa for instance don't get the credit they deserve. Joe Pa ran circles around Les Miles.

Yeah, like 9 out of the 10 SEC bowls were in SEC country, right? LOL @ people complaining about weather.

for the poor SEC having to play in their own states.

The Big Ten plays ZERO bowls in Big Ten country, maybe 1 when they're in the Motor City Bowl (now little Ceasar's Bowl), but not this year.

I hate to burst your bubble, but since 1999, the Pac 10 is 11-7 against the SEC. Ofcourse the SEC has teams that are afraid to schedule the Pac 10. Hell, Florida is afraid to schedule any non-conference game out of state. Then there are other teams like Tennessee who always seem to schedule Pac 10 teams. If you think 5-4 is not a good record, what about 3-6 ATS? The SEC, like the Pac 10, has been a major money burner in the bowl season. How about 5-11 for the two best conferences last bowl season. This happens all the time. This is why Vegas makes so much money in the bowl season. Everyone thinks about last year. Well, the only Pac 10 team to win a bowl game last year and repeat this year was USC, who just does not lose bowl games very often anyways. The SEC has had better luck, with Florida, Georgia and Ole Miss repeating. The bottom line is that you can not read anything into any of this.

Exactly! Thank you my god this is a never ending argument. No conference is as good or as bad as they might seem in ONE particular year.

Maybe im a SEC homer but whats going on with the SEC this year? Is it a down year or just bad match ups. Clemson 21, Kentucky 13 L Georgia 44, Texas A&M 20 W Virginia Tech 37, Tennessee 14 L Auburn 38, Northwestern 35 (OT) W (but OT against Northwestern!?) Penn State 19, LSU 17 L Florida 51, Cincinnati 24 W Mississippi 21, Oklahoma State 7 W Connecticut 20, South Carolina 7 L Arkansas 20, East Carolina 17 (OT) W (Ark played horrible and got lucky to win in OT) 5-4 is not a good conference record at all...

They suck that's whats wrong and I am going to tell you right now the best way I know how and that is don't take crimson tide or you are going to be more upset
