re: Interesting Grantland Article on SEC Dominance

Obvious troll is obvious.

Sure if you discount all the NC's and what the better teams have done then suddenly the SEC doesn't look so strong. You can make excuses all day long if you try hard enough.

Here is the thing though. The SEC is on top and has been there for a while. More than that though it is getting stronger and stronger while other conferences are getting weaker. Look at any list that matters. Money. Facilities. Fan support. TV Ratings. TV Contracts. The SEC dominates. The SEC is also winning the war of demographics. All the best high school football is in the SEC now that Texas is an SEC state.

What is scary is what now looks like a big gap is about to become a canyon. The new SEC Network and TV deals will likely end up with the SEC teams making 2 times or greater what the other conferences make and having more teams in the playoff and Chamions/BCS games it is going to be a canyon. Since the SEC Network will likely be an ESPN partnership they will also dominate all the coverage.

The SEC is becoming NFL lite.
