Please don't start telling me what your program did many moons ago. What have your program done in recent history? Most of you would say "nothing". But yet the other hand, you can claim SEC and ride off Bama success.

Last year season's end the SEC held 6 of the top 10 spots, or 60%, of the final BCS standings.
That's recent history.
Oregon does not have a recent BCS championship at the hands of Auburn, a not Alabama team.
That's recent history.
I think LSU, another not Alabama team, beat Oregon in a season opener within the last couple of years.
That's recent history.
In the 15 years of the BCS 60% of the championships have been won by the SEC representative.
That's recent history.
In the last 10 years of the BCS 80% or the championships have been won by the SEC representative. And 7 of the last 7 BCS championships, or 100%, have been won by the SEC representative.
Those are also recent history.
And most recently,just this evening, Oregon lost to Stanford, a distinctly SEC like team.
