re: SEC losing the benefit of the doubt..

After 1 bowl season? The hell happens when over the next few years, everyone realizes that the other conferences still suck?

Sure, there are teams out there playing well and some who are elite. But the other conferences still suck arse. The ACC is putrid. The Pac is getting better for sure but I think they peaked last year. Maybe not though. The Big 12 is pretty bad and the Big 10 is garbage. I refuse to buy this shite about them rising with the quickness until I see it. Ohio State winning a NC is proof of nothing as far as the whole conference goes.

The SEC is still recruiting at an insane level. QB play was pretty bad last year in the SEC. Solid QBs will emerge on some of these teams and it'll be business as usual. This is the SEC's down period and it's still probably better than every other conference.
