The SEC Myth
-
Ohio State, Michigan, etc. all have easy schedules and still cant stay undefeated. SEC rules college football.
"You planning on having a long relationship with that glass or are you going to drink it? Drink up, man. Maybe we can get another.” - Janis Joplin, 1970. -
The SEC has many outside factors (other than their play) that's propping them up. Some legal,some not, most of it unfair. Media bias, oversigning, paying players, etc. These things keep this myth alive

Yeah, everyone cheats except Michigan and the Democrats facepalm.gif

Ohio State with Benedict Myers could not beat Ole Miss, Miss St, Alabama, Auburn, and probably not LSU or Georgia.. Maybe SC.. Maybe Texas AM..
Yep, the SEC sucks facepalm.gif
The top 4 in the SEC West this yr would beat the eventual Big10 champ.. The Big 12 champ.. The Pac whatever champ.. And the ACC champ..
The problem is, they will beat themselves.. No outsiders will beat them when it counts.
And with the SEC, if the bowl game isn't for a National Championship.. Who cares
You want it to be a myth because you know your team couldn't hang in the SEC...

Ohio State would probably beat half those teams, minimum. I mean, Indiana beat Missouri. Wisconsin lost just 28-24 to Auburn.

No, they are just not the almighty powerful Wizards you apparently think they are.

Actually yes. I say right here, right now the SEC will have a losing record vs. the ACC. They have 4 more games to play. FSU/FLa. GA/Ga. Tech, Clemson/SC and KY/Louisville. ACC I predict wins 3 of those 4. Hell, they will be favored in 3 of the 4.
And with the SEC, if the bowl game isn't for a National Championship.. Who cares

Except for 2 game "my team" has hung fine with the SEC.

Did you bother to read my post? The SEC should be sponsored by Hostess since they have so many cupcakes on their schedule. Three of their teams do not play a single game against any of the other power 5 conferences.

I'm a Buckeye homer, and don't believe that OSU can beat one of these SEC teams on a neutral field this season. I have more of a problem with Oregon being ranked so high than any other team- they are the epitome of an over-hyped program.
One thing the SEC homers overlook is how they play in about a 500 mile radius bubble, including their bowl games. That never, ever gets mentioned by ESPN or CBS. Florida hasn't traveled farther than Kentucky in 40 years, for instance. Under Bear Bryant, Alabama wasn't afraid to travel anywhere.
PS Axe- I see you called him Benedict Meyer....what about Saban? Saban went from Mich St to LSU to the Dolphins, now at Bama. At every stop, he said "this is my dream job." Hmmm

I agree 1000%
4 of the top 6.. helluva myth..
College Football Playoff Rankings
RK TEAM RECORD
1 Mississippi State 7-0
2 Florida State 7-0
3 Auburn 6-1
4 Ole Miss 7-1
5 Oregon 7-1
6 Alabama 7-1

The bias isn't myth

The rankings....including those put forth by this 12-13 person committee is just opinion.
But opinion is just opinion. By time season ends I suspect the SEC will have about a .500 record against the other power conferences. And I will repeat, they will probably have a losing record vs. the ACC. The ACC will probably even be favored in 3 of the remaining 4 games. So that is hardly dominance. If the SEC goes like 3-1 in those games....then my predicting skills will be wrong. (not that that is anything to hold your hat onto). Mississippi and Mississippi St. may not have the rankings they do if they had actually played anyone decent.
I am rooting for those two schools in the SEC as they are fresh blood in that conference but I don't know how well they would really do against outside teams.

At the time I type this, either #3 Auburn or #4 Ole Miss will lose this game.. The loser would beat the #1 team in the Big 10(and I like MSU), they would beat the #1 team in the Big 12, they would beat the #1 team in the Pac12.. And FSU is way overrated this yr so they'd most likely beat the #1 ACC team..
Yet because they lost tonight, they'll be fucked.
And we aren't even talking about Alabama who suddenly has their ducks in a row and is probably the best team in the nation..
It's this simple.. Take #1 thru #5 out of the SEC and pit them against the #1thru #5 in ANY other conference in the nation when the game matters and the SEC easily wins 4 of 5.. In most cases 5 out of 5..
If you don't see that, you are delusional..

Do they play defense in the SEC?
Georgia gave up over 400 yards rushing to a bad Fla team.
AUB had over 500 yards of offense, and Ole Miss had 492 yards
And then there is Miss st. They barely won at home against a sub .500 team.
The new poll will be out Tuesday, and it will only have 2 sec teams.
Also how in the world is #1 Miss St. playing Tenn-Martin next week????????????
And AUB plays some school named Samford the second last week of the season????????????

Do they play defense in the SEC? NO, not the last few seasons. That's my biggest beef outside of the regional bubble they play in.
I'm waiting for Arkansas to crack the top 15, hey they lost 17-10 to Mississippi St., and 14-13 to 'Bama

Just an opinion. Who knows what would happen on the field. Auburn has the best non-conference win in the SEC, beating K.St.
And the last time I notice, FSU was beating Auburn in the national title game.
....but if it is any consolation to you....I hope Miss. St. runs the table in the SEC.

Then I guess....in you opinion both Auburn and MSU will be kicked to the curb.

The SEC will be playing the ACC in 5 games this year.....I will tell you what I believe when those games are played on the field, not when they are played in your mind.

All good teams play some cupcakes.....I just don't know why the SEC is playing theirs in the middle of the conference schedule.
Oh....maybe it is because they need those "breathers".

As noted, the SEC being the premier football conference in America is a myth. See this earlier post:
There are 4 games left matching intrastate foes, one of which is in the SEC and the other in the ACC:
Florida/Florida St. Won by ACC team
Georgia Tech/Georgia Won by ACC team
Clemson/South Carolina Won by ACC team
Kentucky/Louisville. Won by ACC team
In the only SEC/ACC game played so far, SEC Georgia did defeat ACC Clemson
ACC goes 4-1 vs. SEC
Big Ten goes 1-1 vs. SEC
Big 12 goes 1-3 vs. SEC
P-12 and SEC didn't play any games.
SEC record vs. other Power 5 conferences: 5-6

These sec homos are a trip. Rooting for a conference is gay. I will never root for Michigan to win any game.

Be sure to scan the "vs top 10 & top 30" stats..
When you have no facts you play the homophobic BS that you'd never have the balls to utter in person..
It's simple
I don't root for a conference.. But I do acknowledge excellence when I see it..
7 of the last 8 national champs have been SEC schools..
The SEC East sucks this year!! The SEC West is freakin loaded..
