Why do national pundits keep acting as if the SEC plays nobody OOC?

How much evidence to the contrary do these talking heads need before they realize this bullshite talking point is just that? Just watched CFLive on dvr and even though Brock Huaord (sp) gave credit to LSU and Alabama going OOC to play some big teams, they said it as if this was the minority. Why does the national media try to stick this stigma on the SEC still, when it's simply untrue? The SEC is not any different than other conferences regarding OOC schedules. Further, when the conference is as good as it is, and has won the last 6 NC's, what exactly is the incentive to schedule a big OOC game in the first place? Yet, we keep doing it.

It will only get worse now that all the major conferences are going to 9 game schedules but we are staying at 8 to protect cream puff games. We need to go to 9 to maintain credibility.

Thats ludacris.
LSU played West Virginia and Oregon last year. Alabama played Penn St.
Tennessee played Oregon 2 years ago and will again in 2013
UGA played Boise last year and Oklahoma St. 2 years ago.
There are some teams in the SEC who do play difficult OCC games and there are some who do not.

It's a myth, I think I saw last year the sec played the same or more bcs conference schools than any of the others.

Vandy plays at least two BCS OOC games each year, playing three some years.

It's just frustrating to watch these guys make this point, as if it's true, and nobody contests it. Just frustrating to here the only relevant news outlet do such a poor job.

I blame Florida. I believe they haven't played a non-conference opponent outside the state of Florida since 1991. They've been the best program in the SEC over that time but their non-conference scheduling has been embarrassing.

Dude, it really doesn't matter what the talking bullheads say. As a former outsider I was always more impressed with the in conference grinder SEC schedule than the OOC teams. At the end of the day the top 4 play in the playoff, eventually I think. btw, did they ever decide on top 4 in polls or top 4 cnference positions? Anyway, you Mr LSU shouldn't give a flip bout em and the crap they spew out their pie hole.
ESPN is all in for trashing us because we jilted their lover. Such as the world. I just don't give a rats arse.

I was looking at our upcoming OCC games
We will have NC State this year
Oregon in 2013
Oklahoma in 2014/2015
UCONN 2015/2016
Nebraska 2016/2017
Southern Cal 2021/2022
We had Ohio State slated for 2018/2019 but they backed out of the game this past summer, but the media didn't grab that story like they grabed the story of us backing out of UNC.

Because that's about all they have left in their feeble attempts to explain our dominance the last few years.

I don't think they have to go outside the state if the state affords them the opportunity to play big name OOC games, which it does.

I think its unfair we have to play in the SEC. :)
Seriously. Could you even picture the trail of destruction if LSU and bama did like a national tour and played no SEC games and just did beat downs all over the country. That would be an amazing year.
The SEC's OOC games are weak. However, it has more to do with fact the other conferences are not as good.
Every SEC team can't play a Top 5 OOC game. What do they want us to do?
