The genius of the SEC! SEC! SEC!

[allpurpleallgold]

you guys are so fucking in love with the sec. nothing im saying is irrational. it's the best conference, but not by THAT big of a margin

I agree with this statement.

I don't agree that it's harder to play at BC than at Florida State, I don't care how many miles you have to travel to do so.

You're missing the point. Of course FSU is a tougher game because they're better. You're comparing apples and oranges.

A better comparison is SEC team x plays at NC St vs. at Oregon State. They're both about equally as difficult in a purely fball sense. NC St. is just 250 miles from x. It requires way less travel, and no time zone change or maybe one.

Oregon State is 2400 miles away. It's two or three time zones away. They have to leave Thursday night, fly to PDX, and from the time they actually land in PDX, it takes two hours to get to the Albany Comfort Inn at ap proximately 1:15 a.m. Pacific time. It's a different climate, the people are different, and there's different food.

Those road trips are not the same.

Florida State is the one tough game SEC teams play annually. Okay Clemson/GT can be hard at times. So that's three out of at least 48 non conference games. Bammer played WV in a dome that's 100 miles away from campus

Shut the fuck up. We have pointed out to you, using actual facts, that the SEC plays tough non conference games. But you keep repeating the same lines that have been proven wrong. Yes, they play division 2 schools. Like there's a difference between a d2 school and scheduling Illinois. They also play quality "A" opponents. They should probably be applauded for how tough their non conference schedule is considering how hard it is to schedule tough out of conference opponents when most of the tough teams come from their conference.

Get the fuck out of here with this FS argument that the SEC should handicap themselves, to make it more likely that they lose to inferior teams simply because of travel, just because there aren't enough teams on the west coast for the PAC-12 to not travel. That's the only reason the PAC travels, bruh. You think they're all noble and want to play Pat Hill Tuff schedules. Bullshit. They would do the exact same thing the SEC does if they could.

In summery, die in a fire.

A SEC team could beat ISIS in Syria and Bill would find some reason to downplay it

LOL, more angry pressing .by APAG. Your main argument is that the SEC plays tough teams? Yeah, they play a few. They don't play that many though.

D2 teams? You mean the division below FCS? There aren't many teams that play Division 2.

Yeah okay, it's true that FCS teams & Sunbelt type teams are closer to the big boys then they were 20 or 25 years ago. There's still a difference though. They still only get 65 scholarships, and in general their players are slower, shorter, and weaker..

I don't really know who's better. I suggested a sec pac-12 challenge. That will never happen but oh well. Were some of those Alabama and Florida teams really really good? Of course. Was the SEC the best conference in most of those years? Yeah, probably.

I can admit that much. Some of you guys can't admit that it might have fallen a bit and overrated.

The SEC didnt play road games at Wisconsin, West Virginia and Boise St. Those were "nuetral site" games played in the south. Just because the SEC teams wore white unis in those games doesnt make them road games.

Im not arguing the SEC isnt the best conference, but saying Ole Miss playing Boise in Atlanta is a road game is a little misleading.

My argument wasn't that the SEC isn't the best conference in the nation. It was that they need to grow some balls and travel a bit further.

All sides agree that they don't really need to, because they have the reputation and ESPY sponsorship now.

I also don't think the middle and lower tier of the SEC is any better than the Pac 12

Even the cuogs could beat ISIS in Syria. Rather easily. Say 34000-17.

AIR RAID!!!

I'm not a conference loyalist. I will never cheer for Oregon (at least I never plan to), and I'll only cheer for WSU when they play Oregon. I don't care about any SEC team other than Alabama, except that the conference's success seems to aggravate certain bored members' mental health issues, and that amuses me. Regardless, as much as many of you hate the SEC, a large part of why that conference has so much success is due to their conference-as-one mindset. The continuous pumping eachother up has been a large factor in why the conference is good and is perceived as good. It's a self-fullfilling prophecy.

And for those of you who actually think that the Pac12 is as good as the SEC right now, as a "man" once said, you need to get some perspective. Just watch the Georgia v "USC" game and explain to me how any P12 team has played at that level this season. And, that's the SEC lEast. The media isn't the only reason why everyone in the country will be watching a couple of SEC games down in Mississippi tomorrow.

Good perspective, but you are high if you think Stanford, UCLA, or a healthy Oregon can't beat South Carolina and Georgia. Arizona, ASU, UW, and USC could possibly beat them at home too. They are upper-middle teams in any big conference except the Big 10. South Carolina's defense sucks and Georgia has a QB that looks as bad as Cyler Miles and Mark Richt is still their coach.

I'm not saying that those Pac12 teams can't beat South Carolina or Georgia. I'm just saying that their play, on that day, looked better and more complete than anything I've seen in the Pac12 so far.

It was a high scoring back and forth game. The football is life atmosphere and media attention made it seem like it was a bigger deal than it actually was. Entertaining for sure, but there was nothing complete about it.
