I have to agree. It's good to be in the SEC. But if I were a fan of another conference, I would be saying the same things they do. Top heavy, etc...
The only difference is they don't think everybody else is thinking about them.

That was my point earlier.
You pay attention to what interests you.
I love the SEC--don't get me wrong--but the viewpoint that everyone else thinks/talks about this conference incessantly is silly.

Just think how much more hype there'd be if the coach of a certain, unmentioned, team didn't drive the bus off the cliff for the SEC's National Championship winning streak??

Just think about it. Before it was the Big 10 with Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, etc, and Big 12 with Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and such.
Thing is, the older powers think they have the right to still be on top. Their shite was the talk of the nation, obviously it didn't have as much media exposure as it does now, but that is only because of the social media boom that started about 5 years ago.
I can't remember if the chants started in 06 or 07, but you could slowing feel the shift of the CFB world. It felt more like school and conference pride instead of just school pride. We were blowing away the competition at every bowl season, recruiting the hell out of our own talent instead of them being plucked from other conferences, and sending kids to the NFL at an enormous rate. Four different SEC schools have went to the National Championship and won since 2006. You don't see that kind of power ever grouped together. USCe, Bama, LSU, UF, UGA, could run through every other conference on most years. TAMU with a couple more recruiting seasons, will be right there. Tennessee will be back in three years tops which gives you have the conference that would beat most of conferences.

Several years ago I watched games from all conferences and knew what was going on with them. All I watch is SEC now. Nothing else is interesting.
Living in the capitol of B1G country, I can tell you the hate for the SEC is real.

We understand, you have a long history of hating the BEST.

No. You obviously can not read. I do not hate anything. I am only observing the large amount of press the SEC gets (and I said it was deserving) and putting myself in the shoes of other conference fans.
I dont hate any teams or conferences..

There are fans of SEC teams that hate the SEC.

So what, not as bad as some individual teams get far more than their share of unwarranted hype. Ohio State and especially Notre Dame come to mind.

my experience as well. The Big 12 used to be the same til A&M and Mizzou joined. Now their obsession knows no bounds.
I honestly don't remember any angst directed towards the SEC until 2011. We both announced we were leaving and OSU was shut out of the title. Since then they spend more time talking about the SEC than the Big 12.
