To any impartial observer, this game should lay to rest the myth of the exalted status of the SEC.

This Harvard/University of Texas Graduate who has lived in PAC 12 land and now lives in SEC country (a) listens to SEC fans all year, and (b) then listens to all the Big 10 and PAC 12 fans boast about how the SEC is a myth.

Then I watch the SEC win the National Championship every year and generally kick butt in bowls. And I watch the Big 10 fans and PAC 12 walk away mumbling about a fluke and coming back just as cocky the next year about how the SEC is a myth, and I watch them walk away mumbling about a fluke with their tails between their legs the next year as the SEC wins the National Championship.

When are you guys going to come to grips with the truth like those of us from the Big 12? All of those PAC 12 and Big 10 graduates on ESPN who year-in and year-out say the SEC is the strongest conference in the nation know what they are talking about.

And as for the SEC record in bowls, for years they've been set up where the SEC gets a ton of teams. The result is you've got the SEC #5 and #6 teams playing the #2 team and #3 team from all of these other conferences. Yeah. And the SEC still has winning records in bowls.

Well put. A friend who is a Stanford grad always boasts how great the Pac 10 is and every year he has a reason why they didn't make it to the big dance.

Should have heard him ranting why The Cardinal lost to the ducks. Everyone's fault but the teams.
