my shit is as straight as straight gets!  come up with an argument... something!  then talk...


Tx A&M counts as a quality win because of their power ranking in the Sagarin ratings... even if you take them off the list, we still have a long long way to go until we get down where Alabama's schedule is...


you need to do more than just knock off one little chip of my concrete argument to turn yours into anything more than a mud-pile...

and here you guys are constantly appealing to the eye test, and yet you don't know that Tx A&M and Arkansas are separated by maybe 1 point at the most... you don't see that, but are here trying to exert some kind of authority by saying people who've been here since 2011 are just as credible as people from 2006...

what the FUCK has Arkansas done this year that is impressive?

so what's your point?
Arkansas has done nothing thats not the point hes saying oklahoma st,and Arkansas are equals,and those 2 teams being equals tells me he his saying Alabama,and  LSU are miles ahead of Oklahoma St ,as i have been saying in other posts put oklahoma st in the SEC and they are a 3rd place team at best,put alabama in the Big12 and Alabama wins the big 12 so how anyway can say SEC is overrated is beyond me when the top 2 teams in your conference would win every conference in the nation which says LSU,and Bama are 2 best teams in nation and should play for BCS title the end little boy

Not saying LSU isn't the best team.. they clearly are..

But its quite annoying when SEC fans just say 5 straight BCS titles as justification as to why the conference is the best.. even though clearly, top to bottom, it's filled with mediocrity after the first 4 maybe 5 teams..

Texas A& M is average they are coming to Sec next year and i see them being in middle of the SEC

Every Conference is filled with mediocrity after 4 or 5 teams,the problem is no other conference dont have 2 powerhouses like LSU,and Alabama

maybe you just like riding okla st $#!@ too much, and you're clueless?.






should we put it to a vote?


i love the comment in red, in particular... here i am saying these people are brain-washed, and he comes right out and admits it, by saying there is no reason to actually listen to my argument, since he already knows it is wrong...

we are not talking about next year, and we are not talking about the last 5 years...

why is it that anybody trying to support the SEC keeps having to refer to anything EXCEPT this year's results?

Yes I registered solely to comment on this thread. Anyways, look at ANY of the BCS computer conference rankings and they all have the Big 12 ranked above the SEC. FACT. So to anyone making the SEC out to be some meat grinder of a conference that will "destroy" anybody it plays against, you're WRONG.

The SEC has 2 good, perhaps great teams in Alabama and LSU. They already played eachother, in Tuscaloosa, and Bama got beat. You had your shot Bama, in your own house, and you blew it. Plain and simple. Putting LSU up against Alabama for the NC would be a disservice to everyone outside of the SEC. I mean, the objective of bowl games is to match up teams from different conferences against each other. This should not exclude the NC. 

Here's the deal, if OKST beats OU this weekend, they DESERVE to be in the title game. If they lose, then Stanford should go. Both teams can compete against LSU, if the BCS would just give them a frickin chance. Just because some people say "LSU WILL DESTROY ANYONE BESIDES ALABAMA LOLZ" does not make it so. Again, Alabama had their shot, and they lost.

End of discussion

The WV coach is awful.  The S. Florida weakness is the secondary, but he runs the ball more than he has all season.  This guy thinks he is smarter than he is.  He should stay in the casinos and keep drinking.

Ok so if the SEC is overrated, lets break it down into wins and losses between the SEC and Big 12

SEC                            Big 12

1. LSU  12-0                1. Ok State 10-1

2. Bama  11-1              2.  Oklahoma 9-2

3. Arky 10-2                 3.  Kansas State 9-2

4. Ga 10-2                   4.  Baylor 8-3

5. USC 10-2                5.  Mizzou 7-5

6. Auburn 7-5               6 Texas 7-4

7. Miss State 6-6         7. A&M 6-6

8. Fla 6-6                     8. Iowa St 6-5

9. Vandy 6-6                 9. Tx Tech 5-7

10. Kentucky 5-7          10. Kansas 2-10

11.  Tenn 5-7

12. Ole Miss 2-10

Everyone keeps saying that after the SEC's top 4 or 5 teams, that the rest are garbage... Look above to see the mighty Big 12's awesome lineup.

Below is the SEC's average wins and losses compared to Big 12.. and since the SEC has more teams, I have taken off LSU, who has the best record, and Ole Miss, who has the worst.

SEC       76 wins 44 losses

Big 12    69 wins 45 losses

Now you all can continue your discussion about how overrated the SEC is, and that the Big 12 is the best conference...

That is such bullshit and i am a SEC supporter. The conference is way down this year, yet they refuse to believe it. For years i bashed they Pac-10 and their style of football but with Oregon, USC, and Stanford, they have three very strong teams, Same with the Big 12. Ultimately i think LSU and Alabama could beat most of those teams, but as a conference the SEC is down this year. They also refuse to believe that Alabama's defense played a bunch of sorry offensive teams this year and that helped pad those statistics. They just rant and rave about how good their team and the SEC is and when they can't have it their way they will just start calling you names and cussing you out like a couple of 12 year old kids. I really want to see the rematch and see LSU kick Alabama's ass so these two can STFU!!! But they will probably still make excuses about how the Superdome is a home game for LSU even though they know that it is not. Until then i woudn't even waste my time trying to discuss the game with those two homers.

Blowout... is the biggest LSU Blowhard

I stopped reading all the threads....so I'm not sure if anyone made a decent argument. I have friends from all conferences and I hear this argument all most every year. Look at the bowl records last year, when people were saying the same shit, Big 12 3-5 (with one win against UCONN!!! in a BCS game). The SEC went 5-3 (6-2 if you take away Ohio St vacated win) and we had two teams in a BCS game...basically bumping our teams down one in each bowl. I mean our "#2" tie-in was really our #3 team in the conference (so we were facing other conferences higher seeds....look at the bowl tie-ins), because we had two teams playing in a BCS. It'll be the same this year....like always. Good argument and I'm obviously biased because I want Bama to play in the BCSNC, but face it...the SEC is the best conference.

Let me also say...Althought I think Bama and LSU really are the best two teams in the country, if I wasnt a Bama fan I would want to see a rematch...I'd want to give the pokes or the hokies a chance.

first.. hard to go straight by wins and losses.. since when does the SEC play actual OOC games outside LSU?

2nd, you have A&M ranked #7 in the B12 but it took a 2 TD comeback in the final 6 minutes for the #3 SEC team to beat them on a neutral field..

3rd- if you line those teams up to face each other.. I would take the B12 in 6 of them.. OU, Baylor, Texas, A&M, ISU, Tech.. though I would move 6-6 A&M up and take them over SC as well, making the only advantage the SEC has would be LSU, UGA and Kentucky..

like we've been saying.. very strong at the top.. just awful after team 5.. and pretty weak at #4 and #5 as well..

there is no doubt that the SEC has had a down year overall, and even though I was a little surprised of the result of Miss States season ( thought they would have been better)Lets be honest... Vandy and Kentucky will always be Vandy and Kentucky... The gators gets a pass this year with new coaching staff... you yourself know that they won't be down long... Dooley was a mistake at Tennessee, and Houston Nutt was just awful. The SEC like every other conference is and always will be top heavy.

As far as out of conference scheduling.. I am having a difficult time in seeing many heavy hitters on the Big 12 schedules

Okie State- La Laff, Arizona, and Tulsa

Oklahoma- Tulsa, FSU and Ball State

A&M - SMU.Idaho and Arkansas

Mizzou - Miami Ohio, Ariz St and Western Illinois

Texas - Rice, BYU and UCLA

Baylor - TCU, Stephen F Austin and Rice

Tx Tech - texas State, New Mexico and Nevada

Kansas State- Eastern Kentucky, Kent State, Miami

Iowa State - Northern Iowa, Iowa, and Uconn

Kansas - Mcneese State, Northern Illinois, and Ga Tech

Please show me where their OOC schedule is so much stronger

Tide-  yea, wasn't trying to compare B12 to SEC...  but at least you seem to agree that this year's SEC is down quite a bit and if I remember, last year's was down a bit as well..

Not saying UF, Tenn, Miss St won't get better- I"m sure they will.. but this is as weak I am remember after the top 3-4 teams overall in terms of the SEC

You or the biggest bullshitting no football fan knowing bitch i know, when you sober up then you will see LSU didn't beat Alabama's ass, they won in overtime because the overtime rule placed the ball in field goal range dumbass...

See there you go kissing somebodys ass again, now go clean the shit off you're nose.

Look at my avater and you will know what me and Nick Saban thinks about you Blowhard. Cap that and stick it were the sun don't shine.

And last i could give a rats ass about LSU winning that game, but what does pissed me off is you dogging Alabama girly....we will see who wins the next game, you know it will not be LSU, they can't get in the endzone against Alabama...
