    When did they schedule Florida Atlantic and Western Carolina? We might have scheduled Illinois after they made the Rose Bowl. So what?

    So what? I guess these arguments bear repeating here, if you want to look at the bigger picture again.

    1) They don't really play anyone out of conference, huh? Have you seen our non-conference schedule? We are in no position to talk, and everyone schedules cupcakes.

    Tennessee plays at Oklahoma this year, South Carolina goes to Clemson, Georgia gets Clemson at home, LSU plays Wisconsin, Auburn goes to K State, I think Florida plays FSU every year.

    Last year Florida played FSU and at Miami, Georgia went to Clemson, South Carolina hosted Clemson and went to UCF, LSU played TCU at a neutral site, Tennessee went to Oregon, Ole Miss went to Texas.

    Then there's the fact that they won 7 BCS titles in a row, with 9 total. Guess how many the other conferences have combined? FIVE. The next best conferences, Big 12 and ACC, only have TWO. The SEC also has the best winning percentage out of all the major conferences in BCS bowls.

    The hype is justified, and frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing you and plss doog it up about it.

    It says a lot that you are siding with plss on a football argument. Think about that for a bit.



    2) They proved it out of conference when it counts.

    BCS Title Game Records:
    SEC 9-2 (one of those losses was the Bama/LSU game)
    Big 12: 2-5
    ACC: 2-2
    Big East: 1-2
    Big 10: 1-2
    Pac-12: 1*-2 (would be 2-2 if not for USC vacating the 2005 title)

    Overall BCS Bowl Game Records:
    SEC: 17-10 (63%)
    Pac-12: 12-8 (60%) - take out USC and it's 7-7 (50%)
    Big East: 8-7 (53.3%)
    Big 10: 13-15 (46.4%)
    Big 12: 10-12 (45.5%)
    ACC: 5-13 (27.8%)

    The only stats that matter are championships and major bowl wins. It's not even close.


    3) Let's look at the OOC schedules of teams that played the SEC in the title game. Shall we?

    2013 FSU: @Pitt, Nevada, Bethune-Cookman, Florida (SEC teams don't play anyone, though)
    2012 Notre Dame: Independent school. Argument isn't valid here. Definitely earned their spot, but got raped by Bama.
    2011: The infamous all-SEC title game... Bama played at Penn St. and LSU beat Oregon OOC
    2010 Oregon: New Mexico, @Tennessee (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), Portland St.
    2009 Texas: Louisiana-Monroe, @Wyoming, UTEP, Central Florida
    2008: Chattanooga, Cincinnati, UW (0-12 baby!!!), TCU
    2007 Ohio St: Youngstown St. Akron, @Washington , Kent St.
    2006 Ohio St: Northern Illinois, @Texas, Cincinnati, Bowling Green
    2003 Oklahoma: North Texas, @Alabama (SEC teams don't play anyone, though), UCLA
    1998 FSU: Texas A/M, USC, @Miami, Florida (one loss team, but also played the toughest schedule on this list)

    As you can see, most of the teams that "earned" their trip to the title game versus SEC opponents played cupcake schedules OOC, save for 1998 FSU, 2003 Oklahoma, and Notre Dame in 2012.


    4) ????



    5) SEC SEC SEC (all damn day baby!!!1)




    I'll let you know when the SEC is no longer the best conference.


    One more thing... Saban is one of those coaches who voted for only scheduling power 5 teams OOC.
