The delusion of the SEC-SEC-SEC chanters is simply off the charts in this thread... I try not to blame them wholly, but it is the perfect storm of a bunch of mouth-breathers that are force fed propaganda by ESPN. Trust me on this, if ESPN had gotten into bed with the Big XII or Pac-12, the talking points would be significantly different.
I'll just leave this here: http://totalfratmove.com/why-the-sec-is-bullshit/
Despite the medium it was posted on, if you can get past the fact that a college kid wrote it, he actually nailed it precisely.
so according to that article, from AU's reference, KSU = powderpuff?? The article goes on and on about MIZZ and AaM, but AU has handled them both.
Also, this:
First of all, it’s not everyone else’s damn fault that THE Ohio State crap the bed–twice–because they’re rough ridin' overrated and play nobody and yet still get the benefit of the polls. Then you have the year Oklahoma got thumped by Florida, which happened to be the year of the controversial three-way tie between OU, Texas, and Texas Tech–the latter two teams were certainly more prepared to face the Tebow-led Gators
is complete horseshit.
Id say the article is onto something though, about AaM/Mizz offense having some success in the SEC.
You havent spent much time on the AU message boards I take it, the consensus is that Gary and Verne from CBS, along with all the ESPN crew, are dipshits.
The fact is that since 2003, 10 of the BCSCG competitors (4 unique SEC teams) have 8 wins.
I have written a computer program, I usually give a season about 6 weeks before I run it. Its basically a quality win calculator where each div1 win nets a team 1 point. and that winner gets 1/2 point for all it's beaten opponents' wins. and then recurses to next level for 1/4 point, and so on down to like 64 levels is where I just cut it off. I developed it when AU was left out of the BCSCG in 2004, and my calc results agreed with the BCS. Ill run it again soon. There's no bias, polls, or any BS, just straight math. Every year proves the SEC is very rough ridin' strong.
