Every playoff team will have a loss...

It's looking that way. I wouldn't be shocked if a two loss team SEC team made it, not out of merit of course.

Nobody in the Pac12 looks that good right now. HTH.

Nobody in the SEC looks that good either, because the SEC doesn't play that great of an OOC slate.

Not saying the SEC West teams aren't good (LSU raped a Big 10 Wiscy team, grats. UO also beat MSU), but we really won't know just how good until the end of the season.

If KSU had a kicker they would've beaten Auburn.

LIPO.

If you had balls you wouldn't be someones aunt

If the SEC big boys had balls, they would play a more ambitious OOC schedule.

But they don't need to, because ESPN will suck them off regardless.

SEC OOC >>>>>>>>>> Pac-12 OOC.

Not the case.

Pac-12 teams are willing to travel to the opposite coast with frequency.

SEC teams are lucky to travel 1000 miles.

STOP LIVING IN THE PAST POTD!

The SEC still doesn't schedule well, but the Pac has dumbed down their schedules to match.

The furthest the various teams traveled in the non conference this year:

Arizona: UTSA
ASU: New Mexico
Cal: Northwestern
Colorado: Massacheussets
Oregon: Autzen
OS: Hawaii
Stanford: ND
UCLA: Virginia
USC: BC
Utah: Michigan
UW: Hawaii
WSU: Nevada

So the Pac had a total of three games on the east coast, but one of those was at UMass which isn't exactly impressive. Is 1/4 of Pac teams travelling to the opposite coast "with frequency"? The LA schools carried the day here, and still, it's not like BC or UVa are powerhouses. The Pac had five road games at BCS opponents, plus UCLA's "neutral" game at Jerry World, so five 1/2 road BCS games.

Bama: WV (at Georgia Dome)
Ark: Texas Tech
Auburn: At K State
Florida: At Florida State
UGA: None
Kentucky: At Louisville
LSU: Wisconsin (at Houston)
MSU: South Alabama
Missouri: Toledo (Gary Pinkel Bowel?)
Ole Miss: Boise (at Georgia Dome)
South Carolina: Clemson
Tennessee: Oklahoma
TAMU: SMU
Vandy: None

So yes, the Pac travels further than the SEC does, though at least part of that has to be a function of their being a hell of a lot more options in the eastern half of the US than the western half.

But what it lacks in travel distance, the SEC makes up for in travel opponents. Even if you discard the "neutral" site games, the SEC still has games at K State, Florida State, Texas Tech, Louisville, Clemson and Oklahoma. Which is not only more BCS road games than the Pac it's a hell of a lot more impressive slate.

Again, Pac road BCS games:

Northwestern, BC, Virginia, Michigan, ND, sort of Texas

SEC road BCS games:

K State, Florida State, Texas Tech, Louisville, Clemson, Oklahoma. Plus semi neutral games against West Virginia and Wisconsin.

I get your point about the SEC not traveling far, and I wish they'd travel more also. But the Pac isn't traveling like it once did, and when the SEC DOES travel, it picks marquee opponents much moreso than the Pac.

TL; DR - the SEC schedules better than you're willing to admit, and the Pac schedules worse than you acknowledge. WIW.

I'm hoping for a three way SEC West tie at 7-1 and implosions elsewhere.

Looks like you took the bait
