I couldn't find a post about this earlier so i'm not sure if its been posted. Its a good read for some of the facts throw into it but the article is written with a very obvious biased against the SEC and some of the arguments are not well thought out and just comical in nature.

I will say I don't think the SEC is as good as ESPN makes it out to be. They are the best Conference but its a very top heavy conference that very rarely ever schedules away games against ranked opponents and their "dominance" is heavily manipulated by Biased and random algorithms that in a nut shell say "If the SEC loses to SEC they should barely drop in the rankings because the SEC is amazing but if anyone else loses they should drop in the rankings like a stone because they aren't playing SEC teams".

I think you said it best when you say it's a very top heavy conference. But they get to pay their players more then the rest of us.

Yes, top heavy...but, what conference isn't? Doesn't every conference have their Utah's, Washington State's, Colorado's...then their USC's, Oregon's and Stanford's? I truly think this is the Pac's year (via Oregon) but how can one debate the following:
2003 LSU 13-1, 7-1 Nick Saban
2006 Florida 13-1, 7-1 Urban Meyer
2007 LSU 12-2, 6-2 Les Miles
2008 Florida 13-1, 7-1 Urban Meyer
2009 Alabama 14-0, 8-0 Nick Saban
2010 Auburn 14-0, 8-0 Gene Chizik
2011 Alabama 12-1, 7-1 Nick Saban
2012 Alabama 13-1, 7-1 Nick Saban
