Yea, I don't get caught up in the SEC hype. There is NO benefit to my Gators if Bama goes on to win it all....NONE. Bama having a top 5 pick doesn't make UF any better.
There's a diff between picking a team to win and rooting for another squad. Only non UF squads I "respect" and don't mind when they win (unless it's against UF) is USC, USCe (Spurrier ties), LSU, and both Miami and FSU. I hate them (Miami and FSU), but it's better when they're elite/close to elite and we beat them. I'll never have my pom poms out for them though

Funny thing is, the SEC has the least representation when it comes to affiliation within the voting committee. So according to yall people who have no affiliation with the SEC are conspiring to keep the SEC ranked high and have 2 teams in the playoffs.
Can someone tell me what Barry Alvarez (former Wisconsin coach and current AD), Tom Osborne (former Nebraska coach and AD), Dan Radakovich (Clemson AD), Pat Haden (USC AD), and Oliver Luck (WVU AD) have to gain by ranking the SEC too high? The only SEC affiliated person on the committee is Archie Manning and do you really think he has the most pull in the room?

The Chairmen of the Committee Jeff Long is Arkansas AD. And Archie Manning is not on the Committee this year. Pulled himself out for health reasons.
Ok, so the SEC still has one person in the room. Is he manipulating the votes and strong arming everyone into keeping SEC teams high? He forcing Tom Osborne to vote for Mississippi State?
Nah I get what you are saying. Just pointing out Archie is not their anymore, and Long is the Arkansas AD.

I don't know why you all feed into these silly debates. That's what they want. Drum up interest. Keep the debate going. And they think that's the only way people will watch. I'm done.
Im headed out the door to work so I dont have time...
But somebody brought up the point of Elite NFL players and there conferences
Here is the list of All Pro Players from last year

If someone could...
tally up the 1st and 2nd teams by conference and break it down to end that argument

SEC teams still getting that 'mystique' benefit I see
Chairman straight up said that a&m was still a quality win for miss st
It's just public perception within the media that the SEC is head & shoulders above every other conference. "They could field NFL teams" all that nonsense. I think people who within the media feel if they go against the grain with the SEC they will be discredited. But their conference didn't win the National Championship last year.
And no matter how much I'll love it or how much the media will hate it at some point the SEC will not be the best conference in the nation. It might not be next year but eventually if not already other conferences will surpass the SEC.
I just think they need to avoid rematch situations.. all these games, AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON, are now playoff games.. I dont know why people not looking at it like that. I think Miss St got eliminated last week. TCU, Baylor or OSU should be next up at this point..

Honestly....the ONLY thing that the SEC is head and shoulders above other conferences, and even this is starting to change, is being better on the OL and DL and POSSIBLY in the secondary. Other than that, it's not head and shoulders better at other positions.
OSU jumped Baylor who had a bye last week. TCU has a bye this week, fully expect OSU to jump them. OSU in a good spot right now, 1 of them top 4 teams will lose before the last poll comes out.
