does vegas think SEC is over-rated?

The SEC Traditionally plays higher rated seeds from other conferences. This year is no different.
Bama SEC #1 vs UND #1 overall... (push)
UF SEC #2 vs Louisville Big East #1 (+1 seed)
UGA SEC #3 vs Nebraska B!G #2 (+1 seed)
LSU SEC #4 vs Clemson ACC #2 (+2 seeds)
TAMU SEC #5 vs OU Big 12 # (+3 seeds)
South Carolina SEC #6 vs Michigan B1G #3 (+3 seeds)
Miss State SEC #7 vs Northwestern B!G #4 (+3 seeds)
Vandy SEC #8 vs NCSU ACC #5 (+3 seeds)
Ole Miss SEC #9 vs Pittsburgh Big East #3 (+6 seeds)
Based on the seeding differential, logic would say the SEC should be dogs in 8 contests and pickem in one. Reality;
Bama -9.5
Florida -15
Georgia -8.5
LSU -3
TAMU -3 (bet the house)
South Carolina -4.5 (lay the lumber)
Miss State -2
Vandy -5
Ole Miss -2
Obviously Vegas understands your best is not as good as the SEC's second or third or 9th best

LOL at anyone beating their chest over playing higher seeded Big East and ACC Teams...
Not to mention 2 of the top 4 teams in the big ten aren't eligible... therefore boosting lesser teams into higher seeds.
you are really stretching here

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your Outback Bowl appearance.
A true accomplishment for a program like South Carolina.

Yeah, if we were in big ten we are not only BCS, but almost assuredly undefeated and playing UND for the national championship as would 5 other programs in SEC. Big 10 #1 <<<<<<<< SEC # 6

Yep.
Against two Ohio State teams that were awful.
Minnesota and Purdue beat that 2000 team (Cooper's last year).

Bahahaha just like a punk. Looking back on my post, I still don't see where i said South Carolina owned the Outback Bowl. I believe I said that South Carolina owned Ohio State.
The last 2 meetings just happened in the Outback Bowl.

Historically, Minnesota's program is way better than South Carolina's.
So is Purdue's come to think of it.

Look at this outstanding grammar!
Obviously, none of us can hold a candle to the outstanding achievements of South Carolina. Like that one baseball championship.... yeah... college frickin' baseball. What ever shall we Big Ten schools do?

Thats actually a legitimate argument this year, go and look at the seeds from the last few years thought, SEC normally always plays higher seeds from other conferences. No fault of the SEC PSU and OSU are ineligible!!! or that the Big East sucks.

Let's face it. If 12-0 Ohio State were bowl eligible this year they would be dogs to 5 or 6 SEC teams. The same could be said of Notre Dame.
