SEC vs. PAC-12 bowl games: 1-0
SEC vs. Big 12 regular season: 6-10
SEC vs. Big 12 bowl games: 21-8
SEC vs. ACC regular season: 42-36
SEC vs. ACC bowl games: 16-9
SEC vs. Big 10 regular season: 7-4
SEC vs. Big 10 bowl games: 19-19
SEC vs. Big East regular season: 16-15
SEC vs. Big East bowl game: 3-8

Good stuff Billy. They have had dominant teams at the top, but after the top 2-3, the conference is no different from any other. Every year teams like South Carolina, Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and whatever other team backs into a 9-4 season get overrated. I've never seen a team get as lucky as Auburn did last year and Missouri making the SEC title game last year spoke volumes.
Alabama will always be great with Saban, LSU is always one of the most talented teams, and Florida was great under Urban Meyer. Auburn might be able to get into the conversation with Malzahn. The rest of the teams pretty much suck.
Other than Seattle and San Francisco, the NFC West was just like every other NFL division last year.
It's the top end of the SEC that makes the difference. We all know the bottom half sucks, but no one cares.
Disagree. You're discounting how good the Cardinals are. They would have won the NFC North and had a shot at the East and South. The Rams were dreck on offense, but their defense is outstanding. The NFL-NCAA comparison doesn't really work there because conference play is 9/12 of your games in college, but only 6/16 in the NFL. The strength of your division/conference makes a bigger difference in college than the NFL, good or bad.
