The real reason the SEC wins all those bowl games.
Nice article by Ivan Maisel. Irony that the first photo is of Marky Mark this soon after he shite the bed against the Big10.
THIS is telling:

THIS is telling:
quote:
In the past five NFL drafts -- since the beginning of the BCS championship streak -- 28 defensive tackles have been selected out of the SEC. The Atlantic Coast Conference is second with 14. If you limit it to the first three rounds, the SEC leads with 15 and the Pac-12 is second with eight.

Even more ironic is that defensive line play of Mich St is the reason they won the game against UGA...

I didn't read the article, so forgive me if he touches on this, but where it really shows when watching other conferences play, is late in games at the other defensive positions.
When your conference has at least twice as many quality D-linemen as its opponents, you can rotate, and still remain effective for a longer period of time. When these other conferences get late in games, the LB's and safeties are worn out from defending the run, yet still have to account for second run support, with pass defense responsibilities included.
Last night was a great example if you watched Michigan. The line on the Alabama-Michigan matchup needs to be 20 or higher. If it comes in any less than that, it's going to get hammered.
