re: how did the SEC get this bad?

All other conferences usually have about 2 - 3 good teams,

Yeah, the rest of CFB is used to 3 or 4 SEC teams in or near the top 10, and another couple in the top 25 - during a normal year.

Now, not only are we not dominant OOC, a lot of teams look sloppy and overmatched within conference - and I'm not talking about just the usual Vandy and Mizzou stuff. We lost to Troy and got crushed by MSU. Florida lost to Michigan and to UGA by 5 TDs. Auburn lost to Clemson - not bad, but Gus' deal is offense and they only scored 6 points. They also only beat Mercer by 14 points.

aTm lost to UCLA. They beat Nichols, ULM, and Arky in straight games, but gave up over 100 points combined to those 3 schools ( at Chavis). Ole Miss is terrible.

A bad year for the conference and it is mostly Saban's fault - sucking all the air out of recruiting and any sort of momentum that any team that is not Bama does get going for itself.

1/9/2012 was bad for the SEC, not just LSU.
