The so-called mighty SEC West was embarrassed this bowl season. The state of Mississippi has not taken this type of beating since Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. Both Wisconsin and THE Ohio State University ran the ball down the state of Alabama's throat. The SEC as a whole plays horrible non-conference schedules and the apologists claim that is because the SEC is too tough. Sorry but that is BS. The Top 4 SEC West teams as a whole only played perhaps 4 quality non-conference games: West Virginia, Kansas State, Boise State, Wisconsin. Whatever you thing of FSU they alone played four legitimate programs out of conference. Stop scheduling directional schools, schools made up of choir boys like Incarnate Word and Presbyterian, and FBS opponents.
How about the mighty SEC East.
Actually 2-5, with LSU losing.
Meanwhile, the SEC East is about to go 4-0 in bowl games (UGA, Mizzou, SCar, Tennessee).
Only Florida can screw it up now. (And they probably will)
I didn’t say Head Coach. Urban Myer coached under Earl Bruce at OSU.
The ‘events’ you speak of is ONE game. The reality of playing in the SEC for an entire season will wilt ANY team... and any Pac 10 or Big 10 or otherwise conference has finished as well as this year for a long time.
believe the ‘new’ format/playoffs is to allow the rest of the country a ‘chance’ at the National Championship.
and certainly, it ain’t about the temperature! But it’s a good debate.
