SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Some great comments in these.

I wonder if they still say “sir” at the end of their Southern American version of “fax and evidents” harangues?

Looney Tunes has made me hear them as Foghorn Leghorn for life I’m afraid.

I believe that is pronounced "suh".

Hey SEC, play 9 conference games and see what that does to your overall winning %.

Until then, STFU.

This and imagine if there were zero rankings until at least week 4-6.

You mean ATM isn't really a perennial top 5 team? More like perineal.

For years, it was always about the best X-number of teams, regardless of conference. "We're the best because the winner was from our conference." Remember 2011? or was it 2012? Alabama vs LSU? "Well, those are the best 2 teams, regardless of conference." And there were a couple of times (at least once, anyway) when the SEC got 2 teams into the 4-team playoff. Again, those were 2 of the best 4 teams. And we were told that if we don't like it, we can go pour chocolate milk down our pants.

But in 2024, it expanded to 12 teams. But they added the extra part of conference champions. So it wasn't really the "best 12" teams, it was the "best 5 champions plus the next best 7 teams." And guess what, SEC? Of those next best 7 teams, you only had 2 of them. No one cares that 14 of your 16 teams are better than average. It isn't a "who is better than average?" question - it's a "who are the next best 7 teams?" question.

Instead of spending time putting out reports like this, how about you spend your time trying to figure out a way you can cheat the system to regain that competitive edge?

That made me laugh a little, at first, thinking it isn't really fair to compare Sparty to LSU and Bama. But maybe it is. Maybe at LSU and Bama he was able to get away with shit he wasn't able to get away with at Sparty. You know - the under-the-table stuff. Maybe I'm not really being fair to him, though. I'm sure it was generally easier to recruit top players to LSU and Bama than it was to MSU, and that's without any alleged under-the-table stuff.

It was generally easier to recruit top talent to LSU and Bama because of the amount of talent in those regions, especially LSU. At Bama, he started winning at such a high rate where location no longer mattered. But still, a bulk of his players was from the SE region. And that seems to coincide with a mass migration of families moving south which drastically helped landing top national talent.
