Here ya go, SECFAN - Fla/Louisville

Come on--who gives a c*** that the SEC added two teams--at the time that it happened most people thought they were both going to be patsies.  So, let's get back to reality.

That's not the point red.  You don't get it.  Adding 2 teams gives ANY conference more chances to get MORE teams ranked.  Get it?


The SEC has since taken over and yet even now the erosion is starting.  You still contend that only 2 of 6 SEC teams in the top 10  lost their bowl games.  Hey I agree but that's 1/3 of the teams. 


Are you serious?  First, what other conference had 6 teams ranked in the top 10.  That leaves 4 teams.  ND lost.  ORE won.  STAN won.  KAN ST lost.  When the dust settled, using your logic, we can say 100% of the BIG 12 teams ranked in the top 10 LOST.  We could also say 100% of the BIG 12 teams ranked in the top 11, LOST.


And two of the usually "dominant" teams lost to lesser/weaker teams.  Why is that so hard to accept?

It is easy to accept.  That does NOT mean that the SEC is down this year as you contend.  FLA has NOT been dominant since the 2009 season. Losing bowl games equate to a conference being down, especially given the fact that 4 other top 10 SEC teams won their bowl games, including ALA winning the BCS NC game.  

Does the fact that the B1G Champ, WIS and the B1G runner-up NEB losing their bowl games, mean the entire B1G is down?

Never mind?  The B1G is down.  Maybe you are on to something.



That doesn't mean that overall the conference isn't down/slipping.  That's all I'm sayiing.



Once again, other than your convoluted logic that the SEC is down because FLA and LSU lost, how in the world is the SEC down when compared to recent years?  More teams ranked in the top 10.  7 teams ranked overall, a 6-3 bowl record.  What recent year was better to put 2012 in the down/slipping category?

That's rich.  Teams are added because of TV demographics and recruitiing demographics.  I the SEC were adding two teams for more chances at ranked teams, they would not have added TAMU or Missouri 'cause neither was ranked the year before they enetered the SEC.

You're right that did leave four teams ranked in the top 10 which is exactly what should have been even before the bowl games--Psst that's been my point all along.  And we aren't talking about the BIG or the Big 12 so don't deflect---but in case you're wondering I agree.

Man you really love sticking your foot in your mouth.  I agree Florida hasn't been dominant since 2009 and that is exactly why they had no business being ranked #3to begin with.

Reality check...the answer is a  resounding YES.  See?  Some fans of other conferences can be honest about their own conference as well as thier own team.

Once again, other than your convoluted logic that the SEC is down because FLA and LSU lost, how in the world is the SEC down when compared to recent years?  

Here's the thing--If two teams going into bowl games are similarily ranked and one loses say like Ala. vs. ND--Ala. won I have no issues with that.  Same goes for TAMU vs. Oklahoma.  Similarily ranked TAMU wins.  No problemo.  Then you had the two head scratcher bowl games  Georgia vs. Nebraska & South Carolina vs. Michigan--the say what bowls.  Did anyone seriously think Michigan OR Nebraksa was going to win?  Finally you have the last two--LSU vs Clemson & Florida vs Louisville.  The first two games evenly matched (ranking wise) and the SEC thumped both opponenets.  The next two games?  Even the oddsmakers in China didn't expect Michigan or Nebraska to win.  Now, the last two games?  They should have been gimme games for the SEC and it didn't happen.  And you want to know why I think the SEC was down this year?
