re: SEC boycott

the SEC has been kinda terrible out of conference this year. Auburn has a number of close wins against mediocre teams and a 2 TD loss to a good but not elite LSU team. SEC bias carries weight. Auburn's name is still meaningful because they won a NC only three seasons ago. But they have just not had as good of a season as tOSU and do not deserve a shot.

MU has been pretty good most of the year and is generally under-appreciated compared to Auburn especially (again IMO because of name recognition and Auburn's more recent significant success) but they still have a loss on their schedule and have drawn a pretty easy slate from teh SEC East.

If Michigan State were to beat tOSU they would deserve (but not get) as much consideration as teh winner of the Auburn/MU game
