re: New Offenses and the Decline of the SEC

Yes the new spread attacks can be dominant if coached by the right people and used by the very best skilled players available. But they have a habit of being predictable if there is not enough variability within the playbook. The defenses have been inconsistent outside of Bama, LSU, Florida and Auburn, especially against the run. Back just a couple of years ago, the SEC had the best defenses in the country, but those teams are not as numerous as they used to be. A huge problem for the conference has been that the East is down and has been down since 2010 or 2011. I don't see it getting any better in the near future. But at least the Rant can dick ride Bama to another possible title, right?
