Why? I think it should be the two best teams in the country.

It is like a told a friend/ co worker from Ohio about it. You want me to lie to you or tell you the truth?

The SEC is the THE conference to be in. They have dominated you all in the previous two national championship games that you all have played in. The toughest team you play may be Michigan -- well Michigan is a weekly conference opponents for each and everyone of our teams.

Oh. I didn't get the sarcasm. I figured that's what you thought because I've heard this ridiculous argument from people outside the SEC before.

Probably the best NCG in a long, long time.

And that is exactly what we do. After the '04 screw job AU got, SEC brothers are going to make damn sure it never happens to another SEC team. We are the best, we know it, and we will make sure the rest of the country knows it until the day comes when there is some sort of playoff and we do not have to do it - we can just win it on the field every year. By the way, when was the last time an SEC team playing for a NC lost? FL-Neb in the mid 90's? Since then we are 4-0? And going back to the 90's, we are 6-1? Not sure, haven't looked it up but trying to guess from memory.

Yall really did get raped in that one. I always feel bad for your team after the debacle that OU pulled.

What would REALLY be funny would be a 16 team playoff where every few years there would probably be 3-4 SEC teams playing each other in the quarter finals.

thats why they don't do it. They know it will be all SEC. I mean come on. I'm a UK fan, but I'm an SEC Fan overall. When a middle of the table team like UK can beat LSU, the undisputed Champs, it just goes to show you how tough the SEC really is. There is no easy game, no matter who you are or what your ranked. The SEC is just brutal

Ok,

Why does every player and every coach in the SEC have to say "toughest conference" every time they talk? WE GET IT. The SEC is the best conference right now. Can we all just agree to that and move on? I get so tired of reading things like when Tebow said he wouldn't make it through another "SEC season" with the way he ran last year. What, does the 300 LBS DT at Miss. State hit harder than a 300 LBS at Indiana? Probably not.

Can't they just say something like "This is a tough conference year in and year out." That, I feel, would be a more classy remark than trying to disrespect other conferences every chance they get.

Now SEC fans, Rant away


YOU may get it but the rest of the country continues to make excuses for their weak arse leagues. Some PAC Thin joker was in here yesterday moaning about how uSC was the best team last year. Go look at "other" boards, morons still going on about how the SEC is over-rated.

IMO, they're our seventh toughest opponent this year, behind @USC, @Wisky, Penn St, @Illinois, @MSU, and Purdue.

Does it embarrass you that Michigan makes a habit out of beating the SEC in ways Ohio State could never dream of? I mean, come on. You beat them like every year and they still manage to stand tall with the best of the SEC.

I remember Michigan beating Florida, I was in total shock. If there was one bowl game I thought the SEC would lose, I would never have picked that one.

In fact, the only one I thought we would lose was Arkansas/Missouri...

Sigh, in that bowl pick 'em contest ESPN had, I put Florida beating Michigan very, very highly. I got burned.

Yeah, UF was really as good as LSU and UGA last year.


I'm glad Michigan wins, because it helps the Big 10 (and we need it in the media). And I really don't get embarassed, because we kick their arse every year, so why would I be embarassed by something they do.
