Dealing in Hypotheticals re: SEC SoS

PurpleJ

Fuck hypotheticals.

I was just using them to make a point about certain posters' hypocrisy when it comes to downplaying the success of the SEC.

UW is playing 10 BCS teams in the regular season this year.

No one in the SEC is playing 10 BCS teams in the regular season except Georgia. The thirteen other teams are playing only 8-9.

The shittiest OOC in the history of UW is still better than all but one SEC team.

I'd put us in the bottom half.

Yeah, our OOC is shit. On OOC alone, we'd be 12th on that list. But the big difference is in our conference schedule which has us playing 9 of the 12 Pac-12 teams. SEC teams only play 8 of the 14 SEC teams. That extra conference game is what puts us over the top compared to these SEC teams. For example, if we only count 8 conference games to be equivalent to the SEC, then we could count ASU or Arizona as one of these games. And that'd put us at the top.

Also, when we scheduled Illinois, they were coming off a Rose Bowl or something under Zook. Not our fault they went tits up after that game.

Kentucky, Arkansas and I laugh at that statement.

Also, Cal and Colorado did better against Oregon than Tennessee.

When we scheduled Illinois and Hawaii they were decent, cunt

Which is exactly why it's FS to compare in-conference schedules. Every conference has weak teams.

Yeah...Hawaii was "decent" when they almost lost to Ty in 2007 during their magical 12-1 season, before getting plungered by Georgia (SEC SEC SEC) in the Sugar Bowl. PGOSFS.
