    it is what it is .their games are unwatchable 3yds.and a cloud of dust ,no offense whatsoever and they claim it's because their defenses are good yea!right chicken or the egg poor offenses or good defenses ? the deck is stacked against the rest of the CFB teams and you know it.just keep it real.

    Just about any team from a BCS conference that wins out will be in the national title. You have to take care of your own business.

    Look at SEC fan all butt hurt .I know the truth hurts but it is what it is, the article definitely struck a nerve I see.

    If "the truth hurts" means posting stats and facts to poke holes in all that theory then yeah, "that truth hurts" I guess.

    Here's an idea.....Beat Stanford and USC would have a chance. They'd get beat but at least they'd get their turn.

    Why don't you post the amount of points scored for SEC teams that have participated in BCS National Title bowl games. Here, I'll help..... 2007.....Florida 41 points 2008.....LSU 38 Points 2009.....Florida 28 points 2010....Alabama 37 points 2011....Auburn 22 points 2012...Alabama 21 points

    Opponents scored 2007.....14 2008.....24 2009.....14 2010....21 2011....19 2012.....0 ( LSU scored around 37 PPG throught the season)

    So yeah, The SEC has proven that its best team is killing other conferences best teams. Outside of 2011, The SEC is beating their opponents by double digits in the NC game.

    It certainly isn't on-field performance. Judging by inter-conference records -- that is to say actual games as opposed to media guesswork and bestowed rankings -- the SEC plays other BCS conferences about equally. Witness the record since the start of the BCS era in 1998:

    SEC vs. PAC-12 regular season: 10-12
    SEC vs. PAC-12 bowl games: 1-0
    SEC vs. Big 12 regular season: 6-10
    SEC vs. Big 12 bowl games: 21-8
    SEC vs. ACC regular season: 42-36
    SEC vs. ACC bowl games: 16-9
    SEC vs. Big 10 regular season: 7-4
    SEC vs. Big 10 bowl games: 19-19
    SEC vs. Big East regular season: 16-15
    SEC vs. Big East bowl game: 3-8

    The record is clear. In head-to-head match-ups against other major conferences, the SEC has either a combined losing record or one that's generally only a little better than even.

    I just skiimed the article, but the comparison it makes between Oregon and Alabama after their losses to LSU might be the most idiotic thing I have ever read. Oregon lost to LSU the first week of the season when most other teams were undefeated. LSU pretty much dominated the game anyway. When Alabama lost to LSU, most teams already had 1 loss or more. That game also went into overtime. It is just common sense that Alabama wouldnt fall as far

    Now post the real number that matters.
    Was that the SEC#2's vs OOC#2's and so on?
    How did the matchup look?

    Does that count when Arkansas lost to Ohio State? You know, Big 10 champs against SEC #3?

    Yeah....when dividee posted it a month ago.

    OP has a viscous case of butthurt and I'm not sure why. USC are media darlings and were picked to carry the beat the SEC flag. If they wouldn't have got beaten they'd still be #2.

    You obviously don't even watch or know what's going on. LSU maybe? They just lost to Florida, and we're also up there this year.

    hence the article if you read it, you have an automatic invite every year ,and your conf.at least have a chance to play for one (BCS)when others don't ,the deck is stacked in your favor .hell SC would have just as many if we were allowed to participate in these MNCG games with only 1 loss every year . we own the BIG10 and has had really good success vs.OOC Opponents .don't you think we would have at least won 50% of the titles if giving the opportunity like the SEC teams ? Come on man keep it real now. you have too beat LSU and that's it .and even if you lose u still have a chance to play for the ball unreal unfair process.

    What's the problem with Alabama,South Carolina and Florida being in the Top 10? Can you make a legit case for them not being in the top 10? LSU, there's an argument for or against but the other 3? Jesus. I have never seen one fan base whine as much as the Trojans about this. Texas,OU,Oregon, Ohio State and a couple others have had their chance to knock the SEC down a peg and have failed. Stfu.

    Do you even think your posts through before you hit the post reply button? How can UiF be worthy yet you'll discount LSU? That was UiF's best win to date...against a LSU team that is regressing on a weekly basis. A LSU team that struggled at home against Towson St. But we should give credit to UiF for barely beating an anemic offense?

    Talk about stfu...

    Yup...I think that makes sense. Play defense and run the ball to control the opponents offense...you will win.

    That's your response?

    I did not say that USC should be one of the top-5 right now, however, neither should UF. And no way no how should LSU even be sniffing the top-10 right now. UF should be somewhere between 8-10, just like USC.

    This shet happens every year and you wonder why we just shake our heads at the bias. This isn't some new phenomenon for crying out loud.

    You can take any team in the top 10 and use that theory to poke holes in reasons why they're in the top 10. Are you new to college football? It is what it is. USC should have beat Stanford and then they'd have a shot. Problem is, they could still have a shot but I guarantee you that the media darling, preseason #1 USC Trojans will lose again and have 2-3 losses. The last fvcking team o the face of the earth that should be talking about hype is a USC fan. Your team farts never smell with the media. The you lose like you always do.

    What the USC Trojan fans witnessed against Utah, you would think they'd get the picture.

    That Utah DT accounted for 14 pts, all by himself. The rest of that Utah team sucked, offense and defense.

    But, they still believe that Barkley, Woods, Lee etc would lead them to victory against anyone, lol.

    Outside of Utah, there are defensive units, especially along the interior, that are much much more deeper, talented, and explosive than Utah or Stanford.

    If that one-man dl unit could put up 14 points...

    No you can't take ANY team in the top-10 and do that 6 weeks into the season.

    Once again, think twice before you hit the post reply button.

    I agree. TBH...Oregon is the best team in the PAC 12. I still don't understand how Barkley is considered the best quarterback in the country...talking about bias.
