SEC, the best conference or are we in the South brainwashed and not objective?

Is the SEC the best conference in the land this year?

No.

Plain and simple, the evidence is pretty demonstrative.

1. California beating Tennessee
a. This occurred on the first week of the season.
b. Cal utterly dismantled Tennessee and now are not even ranked.
2. South Florida beating Auburn
a. Second week of the season
b. USF utterly dismantled Auburn and now are not even ranked (déjà vu)
3. Alabama lost to Florida State
a. This was the Fifth week of the season
b. FSU utterly dismantled Alabama and now are not even ranked (see a pattern)
4. West Virginia whipped Sly Croom’s Bulldogs
a. This happened in October
b. WVU utterly dismantled MSU but at least they are ranked (whew)
c. However MSU went on to beat three ranked teams (what?)
i. Auburn

ii. Kentucky
iii. Alabama

5. There are ten bowl eligible teams
a. This shows that there is parity
b. But it also shows that there aren’t really any good teams. (What about LSU?)
c. It also shows that the sun belt sucks worse because that is were the SEC gets its non-conference victories
6. LSU
a. They have talent
b. Their coach is a moron (He beat Nick Saban, well Nick Saban sucks (jk))
c. They will lose in the SEC title game or the BCS title game
i. I only hope they lose in the SEC title game so they aren’t embarrassed by Oregon, Oklahoma, or Kansas.
7. There is no offense in this league
a. “But the defense is so good”
i. I take issue with this statement. This might have been true over the last couple of years but recently it’s not the case.
ii. Non-conference teams are holding the SEC offenses at bay.
iii. Maybe the SEC defenses are so good because the offenses are appalling.

I’m going to stop there because I’m going to lunch. If anyone wants to refute, post a comment. If anyone wants to add another reason, post a comment.

The SEC has not lost an out of conference game to any team from a non-BCS conference. Every other conference has at least one loss to a non-BCS conference. Even lowly Vanderbilt and Ole Miss take care of business when they play non-BCS teams. The same can not be said for teams such as UCLA (lost to Utah), Michigan (lost to App. State), and Louisville (lost to Utah). Those are just three off the top of my head. But the Pac 10 has 3 losses to non-BCS teams and Notre Dame's only win, Big 12 has 4 losses against non-BCS teams and 1 loss to a FCS team, Big 10 has 2 losses to non-BCS and 2 to FCS and Duke's only win, ACC has 6 losses to non-BCS, Big East has 1 loss against non-BCS.

The SEC is only .500 in games against other BCS teams out of conference, but they have played games that appeared very equal on paper at the time. Additionally, the record will improve to 9-5 on November 24, when SC, UF, UGA, and VU all beat Clemson, FSU, GTech, and Wake respectively.

It's about time you start getting some good feedback. Who you advertising to and with what?

South Florida "dismantled" Auburn? Are you serious. You didn't even have to watch that game, just go look at the score and then the "OT" right next to "Final" on the stat line you fucking retard. Get your shit straight.

Top UL Monroe:
Auburn was impotent the entire game and was unable to produce offensively. Auburn had 3 or 4 fumbles and had USF capitalized, the game would have been over in the 3rd quarter. You know, "dismantled" may have been a stretch to describe the game, but it was hardly worth the reply in calling me a "fucking retard."
