    Take this one PLSS. I'm tired of it. Overratrd teams playing intraconference games against overrated teams should not impress anyone. The "they deserve a break from tough SEC teams!!!!" is horseshit. Maybe it holds a miniscule amount of validity in this particular version of the SEC West. But Allbarn and LSWho already have three losses. Great teams don't have three losses.

    Nobody is making the arguments you are trying to defeat. The games doesn't impress anyone. It's just smart scheduling and a way to rest up for the big games ahead. Nobody is saying Auburn and LSU are great.

    TLDR: stop pressing.

    If I dug up posts from a month ago many would have plenty of Auburn, MSU, and Ole Siss slurping. Now two are irrelevant and one is going to be

    Both SEC teams in top4 have played 2 ranked teams. One against each other and 1 lost to another (Bama). All that needs to be said. Puppy is tired of trying to educate you degenerates on the ESECPN. I give up! Well, at least until the winner of the East gets in the playoff.

    Neither of you fucktards get it. It's not about ESPN bias or the scheduling. It's about winning national championships. Get it?

    I told you fuckos at the beginning of the year that the SEC would take back the crown. Get ready for 8 of 9.

    It's very simple. The season is 14 weeks. Each team gets two weeks off. They only do an 8 team conference slate. At the very least they all catch either Vandy or UK. Every four years each of them use one of their four OOC games to play someone with a pulse so the complete retards don't catch on.

    So, essentially you have a team like Bama with seven weeks off. Nick Saban has to get his NFL farm team up to play 50% of the time.

    As a comparison Oregon has nine conference games and played Michigan State in the OOC. Who in their right fucking mind would vote Bama over Oregon right now unless they are brainwashed? That's right, everyone.

    They come from the dumbest area of the country but they're smarter than everyone combined when it comes to college football.

    Bama a schedules a power conference team every year. Same thing Oregon does. You can argue about the 8 game conference schedule, but they prove it time and time again in the big games. Go win a national championship before you pop off.

    Bama:
    2014: West Virginia
    2013: Virginia Tech
    2012: Michigan
    2011: Penn State
    2010: Penn State
    2009: Virginia Tech

    Oregon:
    2014: Michigan State
    2013: Tennessee
    2012: none
    2011: LSU
    2010: Tennessee
    2009: Purdue

    I'd say Bama does a better job of scheduling power conference teams every year. Most of the teams that Bama played were ranked. Oregon's only ranked power conference teams were MSU and LSU.

    I'd vote Bama in over Oregon because they would fucking curbstomp Oregon.

    If you actually watch the games and follow the SEC you'd see this Arkansas team coming. Its Bulimia's second year and he has a massive line and the Wisconsin running game installed. They were close and now they are winning.

    Arkansas would run all over most Pac12 teams. Running is making a comeback now that everyone downsized their defense for the spread.

    Ole Miss slaps around Bama. Ole Miss gets absolutely skull fucked by 1 conference win Arkansas.

    Race tells us it's because the SEC is awesome and Arkansas is just awesome all of a sudden. Let's forget that Gary Pinkel and aTm are both very competitive in the SEC instantly after being mediocre to awful in the Big-12.

    I'm glad I never got that crud.

    Ole Miss wins in the last minute against Bama.

    Oregon got slapped around by Arizona

    Hope this helps.

    I said if you actually watch the games. I could have added if you know anything about football.

    That disqualified you
