They are better but can we present some nuance to this?

The BCS era was heavily weighted to benefit the SEC and they took heavy advantage of it.

They are still better, but the gap isn't grand canyon wide like they want you to think it is.

dawgbite

You can probably argue that this is partially true.

one game winners are a bit deceptive

cougarmanguy

9/2/15 4:04pm

Might be missing my point.

dwhitebud

gotcha

cougarmanguy

It's more that the SEC capitalized on the benefits

yep

all i stated was i think the pac12 was better last year and i think they will be

based on? Oregon getting killed?

How does Oregon fit into this narrative?

crazY

The SEC did have a down year, and this year isn't looking too much better.

Ruby Soho

9/2/15 3:25pm

The SEC is where the best QBs play?

SpiffCoug

Did I say that? Or are you inferring that?

Ruby Soho

9/3/15 8:35am

Inferring. You mentioned it's all about QB play. But I don't think the SEC

SpiffCoug

9/3/15 8:56am

Yes, they had poor QB play last year, and I'm predicting this year as well.

Ruby Soho

no...bama, ole miss and miss state getting killed

nashty

9/2/15 3:29pm

who did Bama get killed by?

i hear Ya. I live down here so believe me I understand.

What was the SEC West's bowl record last year?

SpiffCoug

9/2/15 3:24pm

Your argument suggests what exactly?

dawgbite

9/2/15 3:30pm

That the SEC West was overrated last year - which is the most recent season

SpiffCoug

9/2/15 3:32pm

BAMA played for the title... Again... And the west is half the SEC

dawgbite

9/2/15 3:55pm

Bama DIDN'T play for the title. Oregon and Ohio St did.

SpiffCoug

9/2/15 4:02pm

Two of those were bad

Gustav

9/2/15 4:14pm

I don't care about the post. I'm looking at right now and most recent data I

RdF3

9/2/15 3:25pm

yep. Let's see how many championships they win in a playoff scenario

cougarmanguy

9/2/15 3:30pm

I would love that to be true. But as you know, one year does not a trend make.

dawgbite

9/2/15 3:33pm

how many championships did they win before the bcs era?

cougarmanguy

9/2/15 3:37pm

you're funny... There has only been one post and BAMA was in it....

dawgbite

9/2/15 4:07pm

there you have overstated your position again

cougarmanguy

9/2/15 4:09pm

Agreed

dawgbite

9/2/15 4:12pm

my #1 beef is how much leeway they get with voters/polls

nashty

9/2/15 3:36pm

Georgia is my second team, behind BYU, thus Dawgbite.

dawgbite

9/2/15 3:51pm

Oregon lost the best cfb QB in a long while

Gustav

9/2/15 3:55pm

UGA's roster is stacked everywhere expect the most important position.

Ruby Soho

9/3/15 8:45am

what's the home / away ratio?

Beggar

9/2/15 4:14pm

if you are arguing what conference has been better this century you have a point

Utesplease

9/2/15 7:31pm

jere's the thing... I would never argue that the SEC hasn't had or will not

dawgbite

9/2/15 8:46pm

I think they are trending downward slightly. Their bowl performances last yr
