Come on, man. I'm tired of the SEC as much as the next guy, but saying that they weren't deserving is beyond ridiculous.

Exactly. Like I said...I'm thankfull that you and powerlifter are around to come to the defense of anyone slighted in the most miniscule way. I sleep better at night knowing you're on the job.

I sleep better at night knowing that you like to make a big deal of these minuscule things. :wink:

I saw something I disagreed with and said so. Happens all the time with pretty much everyone on BP. Not sure what the big deal is.

I've yet to figure out how those two NCs managed to prove how hopelessly overrated OSU was, yet at the same time prove the superiority of the SEC.

I'm guessing you are talking about the media..I never said the SEC was leaps and bounds above all,but yes there is outstanding talent there. I'm assuming it has more to do with how badly they were defeated on a national stage,then anything else. There isn't a ton of people that are exactly bragging up Oklahoma's bowl performances either.

I'm talking about the hyperbole that has engulfed this nation.

If OSU was so terrible and unworthy, how is it a great showing? Shouldn't it be treated like a mismatch?

Actually their bowl performances were barely discussed this past season.

Just media bs...I call them like I see them. OSU wasn't looked at as terrible and unworthy prior to playing Florida.

Regarding Oklahoma...Once again I call them like I see them..Hard to control what the media thinks and there's always going to be scapegoats or criticism regardless of winning or losing. A total assumption of it would be the lack of a supporting cast in the big 10 compared to the big 12. A slew of "horrible defenses" is a very possible arguement,but at the same time having a few guys up for the heisman eases the pain of it..Whereas the big 10......
