So, what is everybody's opinion of the SEC and all the shite talk from the rest of the country.
ESPN= Says SEC has lost its power, not the dominate conference anymore
Coaches Poll= always trying to down vote SEC teams
Big name Coaches= always throwing darts in interview about the SEC and how its not a power conference.
But yet, here we are again:
1. 2 out of 4 teams in the playoff are SEC
2. Finished the season with 3 SEC teams with possible playoff hopes
3. Second time in National Title history 2 SEC teams possibly playing in the NCG.
In conference play only:
ACC= 10/14 Teams at or under .500
BIG 12= 8-/10 Teams at or under .500
PAC 12= 7/12 Teams at or under .500
SEC= 9/14 Teams at or under .500
Big 10= 9/14 Teams at or under .500
So for the most part, no conference this year can say the other conference is weaker in win percentage
But the SEC can damn sure say, they had the stronger teams. BAMA, GEORGIA, AUBURN
What's the rest of the SEC's Opinion????

Football is a zero sum game. Comparing conferences by records is pointless until bowl games are played.

I can agree with this on the overall best team.
But the question is about the opinion the SEC is not a super power conference compared to the others

They wouldn't be talking about us if we were not good. Are we as good as we were several years ago? no. But we are the best Conference in the country or close to it.

PP,
Great point....look at last year when everyone ridiculed Big 12 Defenses but during the bowls they allowed the fewest PPG of all conferences, although that has probably more to do with match-ups than anything.

So does your response mean that having 2 SEC teams in the playoffs doesn't show the strength of the SEC.??
Just curious on your opinion

PAC 12: 58% of conference .500
What's it mean...nothing. Can't wait to see how this all plays out, even though I hate the current process.

And A7M is one of the 9 teams in the SEC that is at .500 in conference.
Thanks for bringing the SEC down A7M

Having two teams in simply shows the quality of those two teams and is not indicative of a conference. I know a lot of folks ride coattails (not pointing fingers, just a general observation); I was simply making an observation about pre-bowl relative analysis and indicating its lack of applicability until all data is accumulated (i.e. post bowl).

I agree 100% with you. Based on the information it shows that all the conferences finished marginally in conference play. Not one conference had an abundance of teams over .500.
But for the media and other coaches to trash the SEC when 2 teams are representing the SEC in playoffs is pretty much a wasted opinion.
In short, I think the SEC has falterd, but not to a point lower than anyone else and maintains some super strong teams.

here's another angle...
Teams w/ 7+ wins overall (actual winning records)
9/14 (.643) SEC
6/10 (.600) B12
7/12 (.583) P12
7/14 (.500) ACC
7/14 (.500) B10

My point exactly. Thank you. So based on this it would be safe to say, that overall the SEC is still top of conference play. Not to include individual teams success, but just the overall conference power
