re: Best Win by SEC Schools?

The ol “they were really good when we played them” bit. Two of them are still ranked.

Generally speaking there are 2 accepted methods of counting "wins over ranked opponents"... either a) Ranked at the time of the game or b) Ranked at the end of the season. Rankings in October mean little more than rankings at the time of the game played... It's reactionary at best. If you had played FSU in game one instead of Alabama, and then the same events unfolded, would you say that was not a quality win, given that you played them with Francois at QB for most of the game?

Don't be obtuse about it. The current state of CFB conferences in general is that most conferences are pretty top heavy. The curious thing is the floor hasn't gotten that much worse, but rather the middle has dropped down significantly it would seem in most conferences.
