SEC Football and those "vaunted" defenses -- we will see just how good they are

[homie1975]

purdue, a good O, only scored 14 pts vs auburn. impressive D performance by the Tigers

[homie1975]

Egg on my face so far. SEC 2-1 and Florida dominated wolverines

[homie1975]

Socaro shitts the bed on O and D. Bama does not but gives up 34 to sooners. Wassup??

SEC 3-2 So far

[BigDofBA]

The Big 12 got screwed in their bowl matchups. They were an underdog in every game.

They also drew Bama and Georgia.

Then the 4th beat team in the Big 12 had to play the second best PAC-12 team and lost by 2 points.

The SEC is obviously the best league but it also has four more teams than the Big 12.

OU scored more points on Bama than any team this year.

Now it could get ugly. Every game is a TD spread outside of Kentucky. If Penn State holds serve, then one upset makes the SEC 6-4.

nobody with a brain should question the big 12s ability to score points. It’s the other side of the ball...

Tcu shut down cal. Iowa State held a great wazzu O to just 327 yds. We are not done yet btw

Bowl games are a terrible predictor of conference strength. Who the hell knows who shows up for games weeks after the season? The SEC is the BEST conference in CFB for one reason. The best recruits go to the SEC. I think 10 teams in the SEC were all in the top 20 of the signing day. Think about that. Half the top 20 was by 10 SEC teams. It's been that way for a few decades now. The better players are in the south, concentrated from Texas to Florida, SEC country. Most of the top future NFL players are from the south. It's all about location and the SEC is in the crosshairs of the top talent. Coaching and QB play are the glaring weaknesses of the SEC but that's getting better.

Name an SEC team that lost to an out of conference opponent at home.

south carolina and vandy's defense werent good at all this year not representative of the norm

And the sooners usually have a strong D. U don't get to cherry pick bro. U get what u get each year. Gamecocks and muschamp were embarrassing yday vs pedestrian virginia. Period.

And if you are being honest, that was basically what I said in my analysis of the SEC bowl games. I told ya SC was bipolar. They either play really good or really bad. And they have done both in some games. Vandy well bless them. And I told ya not to overlook Florida. They are drinking the Mullenade down there. I just hate Auburn and wish they had lost.

well they were favored and they did put up 35 points on might Clemson in their last game of the year. then they go play the bronco mendenhall pedestrian offense virginia cavs, give up 28, and score zilch.

SEC 3-2 right now. we ain't done. i said we ain't done!!

you can really throw vandy out of the equation, not a football school any bowl game they get to is a huge positive. academic school who because of that isnt gonna get nearly as good of recruits and have to play in the toughest conference in the nation

[daneblazer]

Leave it to the SEC’s bastard child to screw things up.

Odom won’t last long once Lock is gone

[BigDofBA]

The Big 12 was an underdog in every game.

So far 3-3 with a 2-1 record against the SEC.

Some of the best Big 13 players didn’t even play.

Will Greir
Marcus Sims
Justice Hill
Hollywood Brown was injured

For all of the talk about how bad Big 12 defense are, Alabama averaged 49 in the SEC. OU held them below their average.

Iowa State held Wazzu under their average.

TCU shutdown Cal

The SEC is by far the best league but the Big 12 isn’t as bad as everyone thinks.

[daneblazer]

I wouldn’t hang my hat on that abortion of a tcu game. Iowa State actually played some defense this year.

But ya...Big 12 has good teams. Their style is just different.

[homie1975]

Sec 3-3 so far

Vandy gave up 45
Socaro gave up 28
Bama gave up 34
Mizzu gave up 38

U know why? Because they're playing REAL offenses that's why.

Nc state leading Texas a&m as I type

[BadNina]

And let's look at how that ended shall we?

Not to mention, any idiot could see that Bama kicked it into cruise control after going up 28.

How did that A&M Game end up for you🤔💰

[UKBBN]

Kentucky Defense Gives up 17 points per game 7th in the nation let’s see how they stack up against penn st. Fastest defense they’ve seen all year

[Fishhead]

The best conference is simply determined by who wins the title

Congrats SEC

Welcome to the thread lol

Ignorant comment. You're saying the ACC was the best conf in 2016 when Clemson beat Bama at the gun? Come on fishie you're better than this.

[UKBBN]

Welcome to the thread lol

Lol today is the day sec all day long you’ll have ur chance to bash them if they don’t play well. I just don’t really see a bad matchup for the SEC here

[UKBBN]

I don’t what else you wanna see from the SEC
Florida win
A&M win
Alabama win
big matchups shows the difference in the programs imo

[homie1975]

Sec 6-4 with georgia vs Texas pending

[jtoler]

[homie1975]

6-5 record for sec. They get one more crack at it w bama v Clemson but the other 10 teams who played to a 5-5 bowl record shouldn't get to double dip thru dominant Bama

GO CLEMSON

[BigDofBA]

The Big 12 should get more respect. 7 Bowl teams....7 underdogs. 4-3 overall record...3-1 against the SEC.

If Will Grier and Marcus Sims play, they're 5-2 with a loss to Bama and a 2 point loss by Iowa State to the 2nd place Pac-12 team.

The Texas defense got lit up in the Big 12. OU averaged over 40 on them. OSU lit them up. WVU hung 40 on them....yet this powerful Georgia team couldn't do anything until garbage time.

Texas dominated that game.

Yes Texas did. And I am one of the biggest Bama fans around and love my SEC (except for Auburn, who just sucks all the time.) How did Texas get beat by OK? I can't understand that with the way they played tonight. IF that defense continues like they played today, they are in for a long run in their conference.

[homie1975]

SEC goes 8-3 or 9-2

Incorrect. Missed badly.

[homie1975]

I'll take under 7.5

Winner !!!

[daneblazer]

UGA let me down. To be expected

[homie1975]

UGA let me down. To be expected

you projected 8-3 or 9-2 but the conference went 6-5. TWO or THREE teams let you down, Sir.

you also let yourself down by making such a bold but awful prediction.

better luck next year. FUKK BAMA
