Why SEC Isn't As Great In Football As You Think

I honestly could care less about the Big Ten. I was happy Wisconsin lost, Illi lost, Michigan looked bad, and Neb lost. If the conference stinks, that is fine by me. Makes it better for OSU to win.
    I more or less agree. The only point I might disagree with you on is that when the B1G does well and Ohio State beats B1G teams, those victories would be considered quality wins. When the B1G does poorly, those Buckeye victories aren't as tasty.

    I'll take that bet. As long as Barkley woods and lee are playing in the game and not injuried.

    If USC is so deep and their defense is greatly improved, these absences shouldn't matter...

    You're smarter than that

    USC w/Matt Barkley- BCS Contenders

    USC w/o Matt Barkley- 7-5 at best.

    I'm just playing devil's advocate. Nobody is cutting LSU a break after losing one of the nation's top 5 players before opening day. Nor should they. This is football. Stuff happens.

    With the playoff it won't matter. Win your games, you're in. An undefeated Big Ten team will not be left out of best 4. I'm not sure a 1 loss team would either but I can't say that with certainty

    Ohio State would win the SEC this year. Indiana would win the SEC East this year. Hell, I think my grandma could grab the customers at the local nursing home and win the SEC East. It's the worst division in America.

    We already have one on here, and he posts pretty regularly...just sayin' :cool:

    Despite my avatar (and obvious allegiances), I try to be somewhat unbiased. I'm not completely sold on USC being dominant, especially now that it appears the Pac 12 is going to be tougher than usual to navigate through. With that said, they have as good of a chance as any with just their offensive trio (really, foursome).

    Im giving you 7 points, we lost our Heisman candidate, and you want other help? USC is suppose to be amazing, arent they? Injuries are apart of the game. As I said, I will give you USC and 7 points. Thats fare.

    p-town trojans, I respect your post.

    Let me tell you something...the SEC is so much better than anyone in the country. The Big 10 sucks this season(maybe 1 top 15 team in MSU), Big 12 and Pac 12 are good but don't have the defenses in the SEC. The ACC is a tad better than the Big 10 IMO this year

    The only reason an undefeated B1G school won't be left out of the BCS title race is because - well - the B1G is a BCS conference. It certainly doesn't mean, however, that the B1G representative in that playoff hunt is necessarily qualified to be in the "best 4" if the conference has had a sub-par non-conference season.

    Based on what I've seen the past dozen seasons or so, here's how I'd rank the conferences in terms of across-the-board performance:

    SEC hands down. The other BCS conferences aren't even close.

    Big 12
    Pac 12
    B1G

    ACC
    Big LEast

    The ACC? LOL

    There will never be a situation in which the ACC is better than anyone besides the Big East; and that's only because the Big East is a D-1aa conference.

    Believer, the Big12 and Pac12 are pretty close. Too hard to tell who's 2nd best.

    1. No personal attacks or unwarranted name-calling. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they're an idiot.
    who let the trollololol out of the basement?

    Oh, deyd must of been the one vball was talking about. And he's a good poster vball? He never contributes to football talk, only calls people names.

    A good poster who went MIA (unless he has an alter) is cbf. Enigmaxx/Oklahoma has disappeared also.

    Lol'd. Durkie talks football as much as anyone. He just doesn't ride the good teams' balls so you never see him post.
  • cats gone wild
    No, its because he was in the basement. He posts like you on the football forum. Never contributes, just trolls. Do you even like football, and who's your team if you do?
  • GOONx19
    If my math is right, 13% of my posts have come in football threads. I am a Kentucky football fan by way of enrollment, and a Michigan fan by way of family ties. Any more questions?

    I think cbf got fed up with all the bs on here, and to be honest with you cats, you were right up there at the top of his list...sorry to hurt your feelings, but you had to find out sooner or later :huh:
