re: I'm tired of people trying to argue the Big 10/PAC 12 are on our level

OK, but even if we had somehow been able to play ourselves and lost (which would also mean we won, wouldn't it?), that still would have been four, which is more than the three you claim as the maximum any SEC team could win.

But it's not possible, is it. Arkansas is the only team that could play that schedule, and I stand by my previous assessment of three wins, max. Two if they play Toledo. In case it's still not clear, I'm including OOC in those wins.

There are 3 teams in the sec west that would win the pac 12 and probably 1 that would win the big 10.

Auburn always getting left out...it is like 2004 all over again

Nope, it's like 2015 all over again.

Here's the way I like to compare conferences...Take the top 10 teams in order and match them against the top 10 teams in another conference. Here is a hypothetical:

Ole Miss v Ohio State
Georgia v Mich State
LSU v Wisconsin
A&M v Northwestern
bama v Iowa
Florida v Michigan
State v Penn State?
UK v Minnesota?
Auburn v Nebraska?

What would the record be if those ten games were played on neutral sites? I say 8-2 favoring the SEC.

Did you leave one off, or just pull 8-2 out of your arse.

With those I'd say 5-4 or 4-5 with Auburn Nebraska being a coin flip.

Ole Miss v Ohio State - OSU would destroy Ole Miss
Georgia v Mich State - UGA
LSU v Wisconsin - LSU
A&M v Northwestern -A&M...hate typing it but true
bama v Iowa - LOL
Florida v Michigan - toss up
State v Penn State? -State
UK v Minnesota? - Kentucky
Auburn v Nebraska? - Nebraska???

Ohio State would destroy some SEC teams dude. Just because they don't face many worthy opponents doesn't mean their coaching staff and team aren't excellent.

---

You're damn right they would. They're good. But damn, they wouldn't make the NC near as often as they do(which isn't THAT often).

If a team in the Big 12 or ACC has 3 NC caliber teams in a decade and makes it all 3 times, you HAVE to think at least 1, maybe 2 or 3 of them would slip up and lose if they played Alabama, Auburn, LSU, aTm, and the Mississippi schools(plus a team or 2 from the east). 2013 FSU was awesome. But it would have been extremely hard for them to go through the SEC without a loss that year. It's not that other conferences don't have NC caliber teams, they do. But many of those teams would lose in the SEC, just like NC caliber teams in the SEC who slip up and don't make it almost every year.

Pre Meyer OSU wasn't the same, though. I'll agree this OSU team in the SEC would be a top contender for a playoff.

---

Same with 2013 FSU. That team was fricking awesome. They'd probably be the favorite to win the west if they were in it. But Jesus, that's all they would have been. They would have had to get through the schedule just like all the past west winners and runner-ups. They might have had a what...30? 40? 50% chance to run the table in the west? They had damn near a 100% chance to win the ACC that year. That's a damn joke.

The sec is the better conference but the gap between them isn't as big as most SEC fans think.

Meh Pac 12 isn't all that great.


Alabama
LSU
UGA
Ole Miss
A&M
All definitely win it this year

MSU
UF
UK
Would all be competitive with a chance to win it.
