If the SEC is so good and the ACC is so bad why does bama have a terrible SOS and we have one of the best SOS?

Exactly what I was thinking. And all the sudden Miami was a joke. How about USC, WIS,OSU, OKST, MICH, ETC.. Just because we took care of business that all the sudden means Miami is as bad as a 6 win team. He made it sound like everyone accept for Clemson was below .500. Anyways it was only one guys opinion who has no business covering this sport.

The dim lit writer even expanded on exactly why the ACC is better than he would like to admit by stating that "Only four of the 14 ACC schools finished above .500 in conference play." That just means the conference was strong in conference and when you couple that with the team's out of conference records it becomes even more clear that the ACC was strong from top to bottom.

I've been reading CBS for years, and despite all the people who talk about how bad ESPN is in regard to promoting the SEC, I actually think CBS is worse. They don't even pretend to be objective with any agenda they have, and frequently run that little banner ad at the bottom that says "the best football from the best conference" or some such BS. Between pumping the SEC, trying to find Colon Kapernick a job, and blaming poor NFL attendance on anything BUT the fact that some people are actually offended by kneeling players, that site is a real piece of work. I don't even look at the NFL news anymore, and rarely look at college football news there either.
One of the most dramatic changes I've seen in my lifetime is the complete lack of objectivity in reporting, in sports and otherwise. And CBS and ESPN are the absolute worst.

It's interesting that he didn't point out that the SEC only had 5 teams above .500 in conference play.

Barrett Sallee is a complete buffoon. Before the Auburn game he stated we would not move the ball at all and Auburn would dismantle our defense.

extremely top heavy. That couldn't be more wrong. The strength of the ACC wasn't really at the top this year, it was the depth of the conference. While conferences like the Big Ten and SEC boast a few very good teams and then a bunch of garbage (Maryland, Indiana, Rutgers, Illinois, Minnesota, Tenn, Vandy, Arkansas, Florida, etc), the ACC went 9-10 deep with quality teams this year.
I would pick Wake Forest to beat about 8 teams in the B1G and probably at least 7 in the SEC. Wake is better South Carolina IMO.
As always, depth gets overlooked and undervalued in comparison to what's at the top of these conference when these comparisons are done. Some people wanted to claim that the B1G was the best conference in CFB last year just because they had 4 teams that won 10 games (OSU, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin). Never mind the fact that the other 10 teams were largely trash. Not a great deal has changed IMO.
