Remember how every SEC fan always says “XYZ University would have 3 or 4 losses if they played in the SEC!”?

Well, that’s always been a hypothetical and not really provable, so saying it really didn’t mean much. Until this year.

It just so happens, a team that didn’t play in the SEC last year actually played in the SEC this year. Now this team was really mediocre last year. They weren’t even bowl eligible last year at 5-7. But this year, they moved to the SEC where according to SEC Nation, they’d have all those losses heaped on them like it’s always purported. I mean, if they lost 7 games last year, then in the mighty SEC, these guys would have, what, nine, ten, ELEVEN losses. Why? Because the SEC is the premier, dominant conference when it comes to football.

Well, this new addition to the conference didn’t lose 3 or 4 MORE games than last year. They didn’t just go .500 either. And they weren’t just bowl eligible. No, this team, Missouri, only lost one game, an overtime game, in the SUPER-SEC.

So I guess we should stop claiming that undefeated teams in other conferences would lose 3 or 4 games if they played in the SEC. Seriously. Just stop it.

And for SEC diehards it must be really grating that a yankee school from the mdwest could win the SEC championship this year. The opening line for Saturday’s final against Auburn was that Mizzou was 1-point underdog...

I don't really understand these SEC "fans". Why would someone be loyal to, or root for, a conference? They seem to be the only conference that does that, and would cheer for an archival in their conference over a non-SEC team just to boost their conference cred. Weird.

Besides, SEC "dominance" really just means LSU/Gator/Bama dominance in the BCS. The Gators are going to be playing in the Healthcare.gov Toilet Bowl. Obama is doing the coin toss.
