I'm not a conference loyalist. I will never cheer for Oregon (at least I never plan to), and I'll only cheer for WSU when they play Oregon. I don't care about any SEC team other than Alabama, except that the conference's success seems to aggravate certain bored members' mental health issues, and that amuses me. Regardless, as much as many of you hate the SEC, a large part of why that conference has so much success is due to their conference-as-one mindset. The continuous pumping eachother up has been a large factor in why the conference is good and is perceived as good. It's a self-fullfilling prophecy.
And for those of you who actually think that the Pac12 is as good as the SEC right now, as a "man" once said, you need to get some perspective. Just watch the Georgia v "USC" game and explain to me how any P12 team has played at that level this season. And, that's the SEC lEast. The media isn't the only reason why everyone in the country will be watching a couple of SEC games down in Mississippi tomorrow.

Go watch 2 SEC teams travel 50 feet to play each other, LOOK AT HOW GOOD THEY ARE!!!
Fuck that.
The SEC has been the best conference because they have shown up for the big games. We will see what happens now that there is a playoff.
3 or 4 Pac 12 team would go into Columbia and curbstomp them.
SC Cocks would probably lose to EVERY P 12 team if they traveled west.
The Pac 12 is losing to MWC teams, the B1G, and barely beating D2 teams
The top SEC team has been the best team in the nation more often than not this past decade.
That doesn't mean the rest of the SEC is anything extraordinary.
When a Pac-12 team plays a road game, they actually travel, often to a place outside of their comfort zone. UW flying down to Tucson to play in 110 degree heat is a lot more difficult than Miss State jumping on the bus to drive 2 hours to Baton Rouge.
Cherry picking is fun
I missed the SEC losses to the MWC or non power 5 conferences
You're doing the exact same thing I am.
My entire point is to let the fucking season play out. Hold off on your SEC circlejerking until January.
Travel means actually leaving the south or east Texas. It's not Tallahassee, Atlanta, wherever the hell Clumpson plays, NC schools, or cozy "neutral" games at Jerry World, the Georgia Dome, or Houston, where 50,000 of their fans show up.
I remember Arkansas& Auburn getting curbstomped by USC in the 2000s in the mausoleum (rofl). LSU beat 5-7 Warshington in 2009. Big deal.
But top-to-bottom, the SEC isn't that much better than the Pac-12 is. The Pac-12 has resorted to playing a riskier OOC slate in order to prove themselves versus the "omg Georgia is playing SC" crap.
Wake me when a SEC team plays @ Virginia and @ Texas in the same season, like #yourBruins.
The equivalent of that would be something like Georgia playing @ Oregon State and @ Utah in the same season.
Never going to happen. And it doesn't need to happen, so long as ESPN sucks off the SEC conference schedule.

What you've done, because you got your asses whooped in the SEC doesn't play anyone argument, is moved the goal posts. First they didn't play anyone, proven wrong. Now all of the sudden they don't travel far enough. Because playing Florida State every single year is easy because it's in the same state.
location is just one factor to be considered, Einstein. Road games OOC are TUFF no matter what, especially against competition with a pulse.
Most SEC teams wouldn't know that.
