Are these 8 games tougher than facing a SEC schedule?

    Saban didn't have a choice. Chapman and Gentry were out, Jesse Williams had food poisoning. The DL was already very thin. We're lucky our backups knew GA Southern was as good as LSU and needed to bring the same kind of intensity. Otherwise, the national champions may have lost to a D-1AA team. Derp.

    Anyways, this was fun. Continue crying about last year (pathetic) but the crystal ball still sits in the athletic complex in T-Town. Bye.

    Hmmm, thats funny. I just read an article that said Jesse Williams played for Chapman. It also offered these nuggets "Trent Richardson worked well into the 4th quarter, carrying the ball 32 times for 195 yds. "

    Plus, "After stopping Georgia Southern's last drive inside Alabama's own 10 yard line, AJ McCarron hit Brad Smelley with a TD pass with 44 seconds left to make the final 45-21."

    Funny, I always thought AJ McCarron, Brad Smelley, and Trent Richardson were starters, not 2nd/3rd string. Why would Saban give Trent Richardson 32 carries in a such a meaningless game where Bama players were hardly trying.

    Ahhhhhhhhhaaaaaa - Its one thing to disagree with me, but to be so pitiful you have to resort to lies when defending your teams performance against a D1aa team shows your true lack of integrity.

  • OP. Put the computer down--go to your local strip club---don't forget the 8ball--and get laid. But of course if you (southern cal guygirl) prefer the same sex don't really now where to tell you to go, but you know that place. peace

    Get a life little man. Outside of Oregon and SC, the PAC 12 blows. Maybe if your conference could win more than 51% of their bowl games the last decade, then you could talk. Otherwise, just go troll somewhere else and use random stats that don't matter.

    I always wondered why most bowl games the sec is partnered with gets a higher rated team out of another conference. To give an example, like how the pac12 almost always plays a lower conference ranked big12 team. It's just weird how it all works.

    You mean like a 4th place in the PAC-12 south team playing a top-10 Boise St team?

    Although all W-L stats are bogus according to this board unless they favor the SEC and are to the liking of their Homer Pyle fans, I will tell you what the reality is anyway.

    Since 1998, AP ranking when Bowl game was played- the SEC has played a grand total of 1 more Bowl game as the lower ranked team than their opponents. Vs the Big XII, it's 50/50 - 12 higher rankings for each side out of 24 games.

    SEC teams are minus 21 spots in rank compared to their bowl opponents.
    SEC teams were 31-14 (.688) when ranked higher than opponent (using all teams that received AP votes)
    and under .500 when ranked lower than their opponent.

    PAC teams also split their bowl games evenly like the SEC, being ranked higher half the games
    and ranked lower half the games.
    PAC teams were 19-11 (.633) when ranked higher and under .500 when ranked lower.

    The big difference between the PAC/SEC numbers are the PAC teams were a combined
    minus 118 spots in rank compared to their bowl opponents.
    The SEC only minus 21.

    What that means is when the Pac12 had a better ranking usually it was minimal (like being #2 vs #4) and as MJRuffalo pointed out, games vs Top 20 teams when unranked like a Boise St vs ASU match-up were more common for the PAC.

    Basically, while the 6-6/ 7-6 Pac teams played Top 25 -10/11 win teams from the MWC/ WAC,
    the SEC's 8-5/7-6 teams played 8-5/7-6 ACC teams, which is a much easier match-up,
    as Georgia and Alabama found out.

    Another example = There were 10 games between the SEC and Big Ten where a top 25 ranked team played a SEC/B1G team that was more than 8 spots lower in rank.
    The SEC enjoyed that advantage 8 times, the Big Ten only 2 times.

    Between the PAC and the B1G that large gap in ranking was split evenly 3/3 for each side over 6 games.

    So, are you saying that rankings are generally right or generally wrong? Or does it depend on what statistics you need for your argument?

    This should be easy for you: What's the SEC record in BCSNCG's when facing a non-SEC team as the opponent?

    If 6'3 230 is little to you than you are probably a big dude,
    but likely slow and fat, and odds are a bit clumsy.

    Anyway, when your conference can win more than 47%, or with the current alignment 43% of their games head to head against the Pac12 the last dozen years, then maybe I wouldn't talk.

    But for now I'll just enjoy watching the Pac teams continue to torch SEC defenses like they have over the last 30 games at an average of 28.5 pts per game while holding SEC teams to approx 25.

    Wait, let me guess, just another random stat that doesn't matter. Nevermind.

    Then I suggest you come out of your mom's basement and do something with your life, because you obviously suck at football analysis. You and the rest of the PAC clowns are the only ones that believe you're more than a two team conference.

    The SEC plays a higher rated OOC opponent in most of their bowls, so your number since '98 is flawed. I quickly skimmed though the first 3 years (98-00) and the SEC is at + 21 already, proving my initial statement above.

    Bama is 5-2 against USC, so you should address someone else when talking about records vs other teams.

    As far as your fat and slow flame attempt, I am military so you are way off on all accounts.

    So now its the sec's fault we had so many teams in the top 10. Geez, your right we suck!
