So Alabama would get the benefit of the doubt every year if they played in the Mountain West?

No, it does not "stand alone". It benefits from being in the SEC. The SEC's success as a whole benefits the teams in the conference.

I could care less about what the rest of the SEC does. BAMA is BAMA. It stands alone. It does't need the SEC because it is the SEC. It doesn't need the conference to prop itself up like the rest of the conference does. I hope FSU skull fricks auburn.


I rest my case, could these people be bigger asshats? Remember, Lee Harvey Updyke is a hero to the vast majority of them. Classy? That's all you need to know.

Always pull for the SEC. The conference dominance narrative is a great selling point for our program.

More success for Aggies, Auburn and Ole Miss does us no good brother. I completely agree with you on Bama. Never ever route for them.



I would argue it does. The success of all teams helps the narrative, and helps all teams recruit top talent. You make the argument that A&M gets more kids you want, and while that's true, the SEC doing well makes you fight over a large pot of kids, and a lot of times national.

For example, if A&M didn't land a kid out of Arizona at QB, there is a pretty good chance Brandon Harris would be our commit at that position, and LSU would have Sione Palelei.

I'm sure with all the national recruiting Alabama is doing, that if they didn't get their first choice at another location, they would prey on another LSU commit.

I usually pull for SEC teams in OOC games but this year I must make exception in the BCSCG.

Just won't pull for Bama, USC, ND, Michigan, Ohio St., or BYU.

I mostly pull for the SEC teams that are trying to get better. I tend to root against the SEC teams that are doing well.

Pull for all.

The bowls are where the SEC builds its aura of invincibility. We beat the frick out of each other and then the mid tier teams beat the frick out of the higher ranked teams in bowls. Helps everyone in recruiting.

I'm new to the SEC so I'm all in.

Woooooooooooooo!
