I don't see the SEC as any better than the ACC or the Big Ten (11 actually).
The SEC, ACC, PAC-10 are in the same "league".
The best conferences are the Big Ten and Big Twelve. Defense. It's all about Defense.
ACC has seven "bowl eligable" teams while the SEC may lose two bowl slots to it. And I'm a big fan of Charlie Weis, but ND is way over-rated. Brady Quinn is glad he doesn't have to hear the name Mathias Kiwanuka this year. Or will he?
