Talk To Your Kids About the SEC Myth
-
That's because no one else from the Pac or the Big East won anything. Pretty simple.
What are you talking about? At what point are you starting? Miami was in the Big East when they won the BCS title. And USC from the Pac 10 won a BCS title.
I guess we could go full Pittsburgh Steeler fan mentality on you and say: "Nothing counts before the College Football Playoffs began"....in which case the ONLY conference that has ever won anything in the history of the world is the Big Ten.
(that is how Steeler fan thinks....like it?)
Sadly, even though I'm sure your insult of A&M is based on nothing that you're actually knowledgeable of and is just some lame attempt to flame, I'm starting to think it's true. Our fans don't have the right mindset. But our conference does not blow. It just beat yours' and everyone else's arse.
Well, my mind set is: Who gives a flying fuck about conferences. That is as fucking stupid as rooting for the Steeler's and Ravens and Bengals to have postseason success. It is TEAM's that matter, not their conference affiliation.
I would like to see Clemson win simply because I have seen enough of Alabama already. If the tables were turned and it was Alabama that had not won a title in 35-40 years and Clemson that had won several recently, I would like to see them win.
When Auburn and Oregon played for the title several years ago....that was good, Auburn had not won a National Championship since 1957 and Oregon had never won a title, ever. So, whomever won was OK with me. I didn't root for or against either of those teams based on conference affiliation.
I root for my team.....I don't root for my team's rival. Only sick fuck's would do that. I don't give a shit about Michigan, Mich. St. Penn St. etc. etc. winning. I would be neutral about it. I wanted Mich. St. to win the other day....not because they are a Big Ten team....but because, as I said, I am bored with Alabama. Had Michigan St. been playing Mississippi St.....then I would have been fairly neutral.
Sorry, but I pay tuition for my kid to go to a school....not to a conference.
I might root for a local team over someone else, clearly. But that is just provincialism.
By the way.....YES, it was a local team that won the real College Football playoffs.
I understand your take, but when Charlie Baumann (spelling) waved that intercepted ball in Woody Hayes' face in the Gator Bowl, I've hated Clemson ever since. Yeah, Woody was a time bomb, just a low class act by the player, and a real bad reaction by a legendary coach.

Still, watching as a kid, I wondered what took Woody so long to clock that MF'er

I said "no one ELSE," meaning, only Miami and USC had won titles from those conferences. As opposed to the SEC having 4 different teams win them (even if none of them count, apparently, because tia can't just give credit where it's due).
For a bunch of people that don't care about which conference is best, you sure waste a lot of time debating it (in fact I can find threads started by YOU on the subject).
-
So you think it's wrong that they don't like you more? Isn't that a little racist?
FYI, a Northerner was the first to bring up any North-South thing here.
Was I? Again, that's all this SEC circle jerk really is.

No not you. Woody. In between making excuses for why teams' championships don't count, try actually reading the thread.

Maybe I didn't follow the argument from between the two of you.....I am just stating facts.

You are the one stuck on the subject. I simply reply to what is said basically on it. If you don't want the matter discussed STFU.
Like I said....if any other fan of any other team in the SEC thinks that they get to share in the glory of Alabama's titles....they are a fucking idiot.
Alabama won those titles. LSU won theirs. Florida won theirs. Auburn won its. No one else, just because of conference affilation gets to share another team's titles.
Do you think for one fucking moment that OSU fans give credence to the thought that Michigan fans get to share the current title. Fuck no. Fuck off Michigan fan if you think that.....and that includes Woody.

And those facts were already acknowledged by moi.
You are the one that has started threads on it, actually. Did I start this thread? Did an SEC fan?

I didn't start this.....not sure who did.
And FYI....I don't acknowledge the concept of an "SEC fan".
Like I said, that would be as counterintuitive as someone claiming to be an "AFC North" fan.

Unless your team just sucks. Then claiming to be a fan of the conference helps. Maybe Brwosn fans should think about just becoming AFCN fans then we can claim Steeler, Raven and Bengals wins as our own. Dulls the pain.

In my defense, that takes time away from forming illogical and emotionally driven arguments.
I will instead reject your reality and substitute my own. Good day, sir.

I'm a northerner who likes the Big 12. The SEC at this point and over the last 10 years is the best conference in college football.

Of course they think they are the best. They play in warm, almost perfect conditions every week.
The pac 12 atleast plays games in Washington and Oregon.
The big 12 plays games in iowa, WV, and Kansas
When did Alabama, LSU, FLA, GA, play a game that was on the road in temps below 50 degrees?

You can argue all the odd points you want but the tale of the tape is National Championships, National Championship games, bowl records and head to head records.

It would be hard to argue they haven't had the most success over the last decade.
It would also be hard to argue they haven't benefited from numerous advantages

This is why this board frustrates me so much, the "but" factor. The Browns suck but, ..... . No the Browns suck, end of story, no silver lining and no qualification. The SEC is the best college football conference the last decade, no need to qualify it. On the field they are better. Have there been eras where the Big 10 & Big 8 were better, absolutely, it's ok the Big 12 and Big 10 aren't better. No one is a lesser person for cheering for their team however arguing that the SEC isn't the best is parallel to arguing the Browns are a head coach away from the Super Bowl, delusional.

Are either of the two things I just said incorrect?

There are advantages to being a top SEC football team but I don't think any of them are contrived or manufactured like many suggest. So if your suggestion is SEC teams win Championships because of a rigged system, then no I don't think you are correct.

I think it is a mixed bag

Power 5 conferences get preferential treatment. I'm an Oklahoma fan and while they had a great run they weren't one of the best 4 in the country. If Iowa beat MSU they would have gotten in to the final 4 and they may not be top 10.

Good job! Except I don't know how you can like the Big 12. OU is cool though. Always liked them.
