Excuse me, SEC? Get in the Back Seat, the Pac-12 has Shotgun!

The man who loves to hate the SEC has penned an article on the topic. When it comes to football, does the SEC really pale in comparison to the Pac-12? Read on to find out.

I admire your passion but you might want to go back and look up some of your "facts" again.

LSU was undefeated in 2011 so they rightfully went to the national title game. Alabama went as there was no real other option. It was them or Ok State who lost to a bad Iowa State team.

You bring up Penn State was screwed due to "east coast bias" despite them being on the east coast.

I kind of stopped reading after that. If you are going to make your point you have to make sure your facts are in order or people will discredit your point.

First of all, I didn't know Hardcore Husky employed an editor. Either that, or PuppySteel had the help of a ghost writer. Props to CFettersNachoLover for pressuring the Vanilla Lawyers to let PLSS on the front page. This could be a huge moment in the history of this website.

Not a bad article Steel. Some good points, some factual errors, but it was coherent and was probably your best argument yet on why the SEC isn't all it is cracked up to be. I actually agreed with you about Stanford or Oklahoma State taking LSU's place in the game. It would have been a better game with Andrew Luck or Oklahoma State's prolific offense facing the Alabama defense. In hindsight, that cannot even be debated. The problem is/was, LSU was undefeated at the time. Based on their season, they deserved to be there. Stanford or Oklahoma State would have taken Alabama's place in that game, and I'm not sure that would have been fair. Alabama had one 3 point loss, Stanford got plungered by 23 to an Oregon team that had already been easily beaten by LSU. Oklahoma State's loss was to Iowa State.

I agree with you that hearing about the SEC all the time can get annoying, and at times they do have overrated teams, but that is true for any conference. The fact is, more NFL players come from the SEC than any other conference. In the recent past, no conference was as good. It can be proven by almost every metric.

While reading your article, the thought occurred that your anger and frustration might be better off directed at the BCS. We all know a playoff would be best (Not the 4 team bullshit either), but the NCAA sucks and never gets anything right.

I have no issue with content of the article, I just have a problem with it being on the front page.

SEC defenses are definitely overrated this year, but their offenses are much better than usual.

I do think the gap between the SEC and Pac is as small as it's been in the past 7 years, but I still think the SEC is the better conference.

That wall of text nearly blinded me.

A 68 team playoff would quell the debate.
