Oops, turns out I was a tad wrong. Alabama played at Duke in 2010, at Penn St (#23) in 2011.
I also remember in a bowl game between Georgia & Ohio St, Georgia wore illegal spikes (too long) yet their bowl win wasn't vacated by the NCAA. They only vacate wins if you sell your football pants*.
*Lie to the NCAA

Well technically, Tressel lied to Gene Smith, tried to cover it up. Gene Smith reported it to the NCAA.
Funny thing is SEC fans think because of the vacated Sugar Bowl win by tOSU, that they beat tOSU.

The SEC is overrated.
Florida, UGA, A&M fans chanting "S E C" because Bama keeps winning are pathetic.
That's without going into all of the advantages at play for the SEC... fighting against satellite camps, bagmen, bowl games in their region, etc.
I'll leave it at that
Let me see. A&M with JFF beat the eventual National Champs in their house in 2012 and finished #5. Then lost to them without benefit of a deserved rematch for a record that just got them #4 in the Coaches poll today.
Now on to the rest who have even more claims to fame than the newest team. Since 2006 LSU and Florida have won it twice and Auburn has won it once.
OSU has won it once.
So I'd say that's a pretty strong argument against your overrated claim.
Now if you'd choose to go to bowl victory history of SEC vs. the world over the last 8 or 10 years...............................................................makes your argument even weaker.

Why would anyone include A&M in any College National Championship discussion? They have never won a title since like 1939...they have never played for a title...or even gotten close. They finished #5 one year you say? The best they have done in any of our lifetimes.
Now on to the rest who have even more claims to fame than the newest team. Since 2006 LSU and Florida have won it twice and Auburn has won it once.
OSU has won it once.
Why use 2006 as an arbitrary cutoff date? In the 2000s OSU has won as many national championships as any school except East Germany.
So I'd say that's a pretty strong argument against your overrated claim.
Actually, no. If the claim is that the rest of the SEC is glomming off the accomplishments of East Germany, I think he is pretty much on point.
Now if you'd choose to go to bowl victory history of SEC vs. the world over the last 8 or 10 years...............................................................makes your argument even weaker.
Actually, I believe the SEC has a losing record in bowl games vs. the ACC. At least they did a couple of years ago when I checked it out.

The SEC hasn't been overrated at least the top for a while now......who is saying that ?
The US population has .been relocating to the South and West at least since the 70s along with it the money and development that goes along with it like the growth of the colleges.
The growth has come from the North and Northeast it's not hard to figure it out. Just look at the number of D1 football schools in Florida alone it used to basically be just the UM, FSU and UF.
Personally you can have the sweaty hot now becoming crowded South but that's just my opinion.
Well, they all recruit players from all over the country.

Here is the irony. A&M just signed late last night the best J.C. OT in the country, but he is a former Australian rugby player. 6'5" 320 lb Jordan Moko of Brisbane, Australia. Incredibly he is like the 4th or 5th best OL signed by A&M this year. A&M loses 4 of their 5 starters from the team, so that attracted a lot of really great OLs. On Wed. they found the best RB in the state to run behind them in LJ Johnson, a power back with a great stiffarm who also can get into the 4.2+ 40 yd dash area.. Reminds me a lot of former Gator and Cowboy Emmitt Smith. Poor teasips announce it for us.?

Best OC in the country because he was a rugby player?
You do know that blocking is disallowed in rugby, don't you?

From the article: "Texas A&M has landed a commitment from JUCO offensive lineman Jordan Moko, who is 6-foot-5 and 335 pounds, out of Snow College in Utah by way of his native Australia. The nation’s No. 6 overall JUCO prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle committed to the Aggies over LSU and Oregon, and a reported 23 offers overall."

I wonder what the going rate is now for the top 5* P5 athletes now ? (Unless the NCAA has that all cleaned up.
)
Used to be nice money in the Cam Newton days.

Smart guy knows that 4 of the starting 5 are going pro and that they were the best OL in the SEC this year. The money comes later from the high pick if he continues to learn and play well.

Guess what he found down in there today. A 3 year LT grad transfer from Tennessee who wants to improve his draft status as an extra year transfer through the portal.

Along with the pile of cash that A&M provided in a brown paper sack. Which you apparently overlooked.
(And...whatever they have found, it will not make A&M relevant in the national title picture any more than they have been for the last 80 years)

That is because we have never paid as much as OSU, ND and Bama.??

"We don't pay". Now who's got their head in the sand? BTW we don't have to pay with a recruiter like Fisher. Ever heard him talk? He'd have you sell your grandchildren and thank him for the assistance. Plus UT-Austin hates us so much because the SEC connection is an ace in the hole over them that gives us first shot at all the best in-state players. They watch for infractions they can pin on us constantly because several we have gotten these years in the SEC came down to us and them and 90%+ have sited that SEC big time pro placement as the reason they took us. SEC West is the mini-NFL and players are all fully aware that if you do well here against the best, you will get a higher draft position than Little 12 minus 2. I mean what conference would continue to call themselves Big XII when they only have X anyway?
