The SEC is by far the strongest conference. If it comes down to comparing undefeated and one loss teams, the edge must go to the SEC. Next year, we will see the SEC dominate once again if gets screwed out of the title game this year. It is the only way they can be beaten, i.e., keep them out of the title game.
Auburn defeated two ranked teams. OSU barely survived a mediocre Michigan team, which gambled on a two point conversion rather than take the tie and go into OT.
OSU didn’t beat them when they were in the SEC. OSU is still 0-10 against SEC teams in bowl games.
0-10 bowl record against SEC teams. That’s tanking.
Really? Name one OSU bowl game win against an SEC opponent.
Arkansas...a couple years ago in the sugarbowl
“OSU didn’t beat them when they were in the SEC. “
Cute.
No. OSU knowingly played ineligible players in the game and the game was vacated. It’s not counted as a win in any NCAA or bowl record book. According to all official records, cheating OSU did not win the Sugar Bowl.
True. OSU may have beaten a Big 12 team or old Southwest Conference team, but never an SEC team.
“I still think Bama is better than Auburn (despite the loss), Ohio State and Missouri, but FSU would destroy any one of them.”
As an FSU alumnus, I concur. Expect to hear a LOT of this in the coming weeks:

Twas the night after Auburn and all through the land,
not a “Roll Tide” was uttered by a Crimson Tide fan.
They used to be boisterous, they used to be loud,
they used to be boastful, and cocky and proud.
But they lost all their swagger, they lost all their swing. For one little second had changed everything.
The score it was even. The clock had run dry.
When Nicholas Saban then started to cry.
He demanded a second be put on the clock.
The worse that could happen? A miss or a block.
But fate it is fickle, and greed has a price,
and what happened next just wasn’t too nice.
The previous kicks, wide left and wide right.
So he put in a rookie, ‘twas not very bright.
The kick was a boomer of 56 yards, but the extra yard needed was not in the cards.
- And back in the end zone a lone Tiger stood.
He caught that ol’ football, he caught it real good.
He started to run, he heard the cheers grow.
The Crimson Tide offense? Too fat and too slow.
One hundred and nine he ran for a score.
If needed he could have run one hundred more
The crowd it erupted while storming the field.
The Crimson Tide’s season was settled and sealed.
A cry of “War Eagle” soon echoed the plain.
Nick Saban’s expression was one of pure pain.
And up in Ohio they shouted “Go Bucks”
For it gave hope to all well except for the Ducks.
And in Tuscaloosa you could hear a pin drop.
And in Tallahassee a tomahawk chop.
For the night after Auburn the Tide has no clue.
The new boss in town wears Orange and Blue!
None of it matters outside Dec 14 in Philly...
Go Navy, Beat Army!

That’s going on our Christmas Card!
I think you are just worried a Big 12 School is about to win the SEC championship...

Screwecd out of? It;s the system that has been in place since 1998 with all the tweaks. If one year an SEC doesn’t make it, then change the system. Oh yeah, we will next year.

That’s ‘cause the weather is balmier down here than up there in the winter!
