A few facts about the SEC ESPN won't tell you


Jan 3, 2015, 2:24 PM

During the season the SEC west only played 4 non conference power 5 teams. Alabama played West Virginia, Auburn played K State, Arkansas played Texas Tech and LSU played Wisconsin. The SEC as a whole was 11-11 against other power 5 teams. Against good power 5 teams (8 or more wins) the SEC was 5-10. ESPN gives you a false illusion telling you they just beat up on each other. Who knows if anyone was any good to begin with. Of the 5 good teams the SEC beat 3 of those wins came from the SEC LEast. In comparison the ACC WAS 11-14 against other power 5 teams, but 7-9 against good power 5 teams, including a win over a finalist for the whole enchilada. The ACC WAS 5-3 against the mighty SEC.

But never let facts get in the way of a good argument.

One other thing since Urban Meyer has been at Ohio State he is 37-3 2 of the three losses to ACC teams.

Yeah the best conference this year was probably the PAC 12.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

by a lot. The PAC12 Network is owned by the schools, not ESPN, so


Jan 3, 2015, 2:31 PM

it's not repeated endlessly on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and ABC.

Thank you. That really puts the SEC fraud in perspective!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This guy disagrees with you numbers (facts)...


Jan 3, 2015, 2:43 PM

They can't be 11-11 if they only played 11 games against the power 5. I agree with the point you were trying to make, but the numbers in this article make it look even more ridiculous for the mighty, mighty!

My numbers include the bowl games


Jan 3, 2015, 3:04 PM

I went back and looked at every SEC teams schedule and got my numbers. They played against 11 power 5 teams in the bowls.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

His numbers are correct but they were as of 12/3/14


Jan 3, 2015, 3:11 PM [ in reply to This guy disagrees with you numbers (facts)... ]

Mine are as of today.

They have close to a Billion $$$$ invested in the SEC
ESPN has to go all out trying to promote their product
just look at all the drum beating they do for the cockerel's

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Jan 3, 2015, 4:21 PM

I've been wrong two times, but this isn't one of them.


No that cannot be correct.

This has to be the truth it was posted on the fighting coot forum.

A coot posted this (by cockynchicago) on the fighting coot forum. I think math is not the coots strong suite.

And just in case you want to know who is still the best conference in college football, here's the 2014 football season OOC record against major conference teams (eg FCS Cupcakes omitted)



1. SEC 34-7
2. PAC12 23-6
3. BIG 33-14
4. BIG 12 15-7
5. ACC 28-14

That was prior to the bowl and includes power house like


Jan 3, 2015, 6:06 PM

UTSA, Florida Atlantic, Southern Miss twice, Rice, SMU, ULM, UAB, South Alabama, ULL, Memphis, etcetera

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There are many 1-AA teams that would whip every one of those


Jan 3, 2015, 6:49 PM

teams. The SEC plays a ridiculous OOC schedule then leans on the ESPN propagated BS to paint a false picture. The more teams that are allowed in the playoffs, the more the crap will be exposed.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree the first playoff should have been with 8 teams


Jan 3, 2015, 6:52 PM

The 5 major conference champion and 3 @ large bids.

Jan 3, 2015, 6:21 PM [ in reply to No that cannot be correct. ]

Yep, those numbers include the rent-a-victims that the SEZ uses to inflate their win totals.

Can you share the source for that data?***

Some brid brain posted it on the FGF

It is under the heading the SEC Era is over.
