All this is true, plus with the increased heat YoY with climate change meaning it's unbearable in a lot of southern states (and catastrophic climate events like hurricanes, torandos, etc.), the growth will be in the midwest soon.

Some were best at cheating (Bama).

Others were in talent rich states (UF, UGA, LSU).

Most had great coaches during their runs.

UT used to have pipelines to the Carolinas and Georgia plus rabid fanbase.

AU also perfected cheating after having to deal with Bamas cheating machine for decades.

Florida was the only SEC team that dominated (1990-2010) without cheating.


Not only did we not cheat, we were falsely accused by jealous little bitch ADs of UGA and Tenn, who ran smear campaigns to take away our 84 SEC Championship, as well as disqualify us from winning the 85 and 90 Championship.

Shameful conduct that could only be expected from the human trash that inhabit those states.

I would disagree with that. Probably not a converaation for this troll-board but while that jas been true for the past 30 years, that migration pattern is slowing significantly, and in some cases actively reversing.

I’m not sure what data you’re looking at but a very quick and lazy google search reveals countless articles on the projected population growth of Texas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee over the next 25 years, and the shrinkage of the north/midwest. Here is but one:
The South Shall Rise Again

But my point is that this sky is falling mentality is ridiculous given all the different variables. That Illinois beat South Carolina in a meaningless bowl game with both teams losing players to the portal and still trying to figure out the NIL era is not an indication (to me) that the SEC is failing.

The times are changing, yes. But the SEC just has too many blue blood programs (and also some very solid non-blue bloods) to make a claim that the sky is falling on the SEC. Like I said, if the SEC had gone 4-2 in these crappy bowls then none of these posts would be up here.
