I never though the SEC was down.

I feel more teams are getting better.

Of course some teams will have struggles here and there, but overall the SEC is getting better on each team.

That is what I think. I think teams have all upped their game for the most part. Auburn has actually returned to what Auburn football actually is traditionally but most of the teams have gotten much better.

Favorable bowl match ups IMO


No one will agree but the ohio state not winning the big 10 shifted all their teams in bowl matchups. Ohio st was the best team in that league

I was down after the loss to Alabama and Arkansas. Not taking the loss to Ole Miss too bad since I was gone lol

I don't think the conference as a whole was down. I think it is a matter of good teams beating up on one another, while other conferences might have had 1-2 good teams that beat on the others to finish with EXCELLENT records (see Iowa and Michigan State).

Where is this hubris coming from?

I guess fear of the unknown is a real emotion...and as long as Tennessee has been away from anything resembling competitiveness, they are to that point.

The conference was down this year. More bad teams than last year. Fewer top 25 teams. Lower average quality.

This is going by F/+, which I think is the best metric out there.

It was still the best conference by a healthy margin.
