When the SEC finally becomes man enough to play a December game in the cold, then can then talk about being elite.

Play? Don’t you mean, ‘win’ an outdoor game in December? ;)

It is not the SEC’s fault the BCS keeps putting the National Championship game in the warmer climate states.

And how many Yankee teams dare come play in the Swamp - or Baton Rouge, or Tuscaloosa, or Knoxville in September? The Swamp in Gainesville has triple digit temperatures on the field.

Dude, the last five national champions in NCAA football were all SEC teams . . . and six of the last eight going back to 2003. I don't know what else that conference has to do to become an "elite" conference.

It's interesting to note that the SEC team came into most of those title games as the #2 ranked team. This is because it's damn near impossible to get out of that conference without at least one loss. At any given time there are usually 6-8 SEC teams ranked among the Top 25 in the country.
