Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

The genius of the SEC! SEC! SEC!

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.

    Typical "SEC is the best" logic.

    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.

    SC Cocks have two losses and at least three or four PAC 12 teams could beat them, easy. Missouri lost to Indiana at home. HTH

    Seriously.

    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.

    Missouri is a Big 12 team and no one is talking about the SEC east this year

    The Pac 12 is losing to MWC teams, the B1G, and barely beating D2 teams

    I'm hearing the the playoffs will be big games

    No shit, Lyle.

    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.

    Just because you and Bill say the SEC doesn't travel doesn't make it so. The SEC conference has been the best conference the past decade. No one cares about the bottom half of the Pac 12 losing at Arizona in a tuff road game

    The SEC is losing to the B1G and not scheduling any other games against decent conferences.

    Cherry picking is fun

    Which is exactly what you are doing. Glad you caught on

    I missed the SEC losses to the MWC or non power 5 conferences
