re: Is being delusional a staple of SEC fans?

I would not call it delusional, but there is more confidence in this conference than anything we ever imagined in the B12. I don't call it delusional, because even the two weakest schools: UK and Vandy could have a legit argument that they could finish 6th in the B12. Every other of the 12 schools has the resources to finish within the top 6 in the SEC on any given year and that is unique only to the SEC. The Blue Bloods exist, but the middle class is absolutely massive and it's why any one of them could tumble in a given season or finish in the top 6.

I love the drama of the SEC
