Should I leave out the years before the modern era, and the years when you were playing ineligible players, or count everything? And are we talking the entire conference, which was the point of this discussion, or are we now just cherry-picking teams for your benefit and not measuring the PAC 12 against the SEC?
Actually, any way you count it up SC has ripped the SEC.
Now if I may, let me get back to my original point, which is not that one conference is better than another. One could find all kinds of data to bolster any claim either way. For example, the Pac 12 has two of the only three schools have have never scheduled teams not in Div 1A (or whatever they’re calling it today). Or one could look at home and away scheduling for non conference, where the SEC loads up on home cookin’.
The point is that while there can be no arguing that the SEC has many fine teams, that’s not the same as the mythology that has arisen. The SEC is not the be all end end all of football. That was on display last night. LSU had 237 yards of total offense and was was 5 of 13 passing for 30 yards! That was not “SEC speed” on defense, that was “SEC ineptitude” on offense.
Now, another poster has written that “only Alabama can stop LSU” in the BCS title game. I know, I know who am I supposed to believe, SEC honks or my lying eyes?
