    The performance of the SEC this past week certainly won't make it die. They were 7-7 (and there was one conference game....South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt) so you might look at it more like 6-6. Some really bad losses as well.....and at least 3 more games in which they could easily have lost: Tenn to an FCS school, Ark. won by 1 pt. vs. La. Tech. The OT win....with the terrible college OT rule....of Txam over UCLA.

    Its a good thing the SEC has a fairly full schedule of cupcakes this week.....a lot of FCS schools. though there are a couple of league games, and a couple of tough non-conf. games: Tenn. vs. Va Tech (neutral site game) and Arkansas vs. TCU

    They were 3-4 vs. the other P5 leagues.

    But, yes, they have Alabama. I think between them and Georgia that is fairly it as far as high quality teams go.

    Ole Miss is a high quality team. Auburn may be. I will bet that LSU, Tennessee, and Florida are just fine down the stretch and if Arkansas does their normal thing, that's a tough out too.

    Ole Miss is high quality until the NCAA drops the hammer

    Just kidding. The NCAA is spineless.

    They aren't even doing that great against the cupcakes. So. Alabama, So. Miss.

    I think the ACC has owned the SEC the last several years.

    They owned it one year. 2014. That's it. I only went back to 2005, but the SEC has a winning record against the ACC in all but 2014 and 2008 where it was .500. So no, they haven't owned the SEC over the last several years.

    What was their record last year vs. ACC. I thought ACC won more. (though I may be thinking of 2014)

    6-4. 3-5 in 2014.

    I would like to come up with a formula that factors in the strength of the teams involved in these non-con matchups. I mean, FSU is a legit national championship contender this year. Ole Miss was only ranked 10 or so. It's very shallow analysis to dock the latter for losing that game at a neutral site, especially by so little. Same with Auburn. Technically the same with Georgia/UNC (UNC was ranked higher), but I think most people know Georgia is the stronger program with much more talent. By the same token, App State should get credit for going into UT's house and playing them close. But I'm not sure how to factor it. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be willing to do the research.

    I think it's hard to factor anything after one week except Alabama is for real.. Honestly I feel like the rest of the SEC is going to be down this yr.. Tenn should be good. App St is no walk over.. Ask Michigan..

    Kinda splitting hairs. They went 11-2 last year and return 19 starters from that team.

    Calm down.

    But that app State team had some NFL players on it.

    More importantly though, no one knew what a spread offense was. Especially Lloyd Carr haha

    10-0 against non-con this week. Includes a 67-0 shutout and an unranked win against a ranked team on the road.

    ACC 7-3 including one G5 loss.

    B1G 9-4 including two G5 losses.

    Big 12 4-4* with 1 game outstanding and they're losing. Includes two ranked losses to unranked teams (one G5) and an additional loss to a G5 school.

    PAC 5-0 with 5 games outstanding and they're down in 3 of them, all G5 schools.

    *Should be 5-3 given OSU officiating flub.

    The SEC had to get through national powers like Nicholls this week.

    Howard, Illinois State, and Ball State a huge step up.

    The SEC has 4 wins in non-conference against top 25 teams. No other league has more than 1.

    Who played Howard, Illinois St and Ball State?

    I don't believe I'm advocating for any conference. Because being a fan of a conference is dumb.
