    You too Dardanus? wow...

    I'm not always right and have never claimed to be. I thought Oklahoma would beat Clemson rather easily.

    But to discredit a good team because they are in the SEC and therefore get more credit and recognition by national media (which is partly earned and partly because it drives ratings) is as dumb as blindly supporting any team or conference while ignoring facts to the contrary.
    Yeah, but the avatar...

    I picked Bammer because they're a good team with a good coach. That doesn't mean the SEC hasn't been overrated, overhyped, and has received some bogus credit over the last 10 years...
    Yeah those 7 straight NT's were all hype! lol
    Listen cisco you spawned out new fish. The SEC was auto-placed in those 7 bcs bowls. Odds were pretty good theyd win them when there were 8 teams from other conferences, licking their chops for a shot at the SEC, but sitting home because their respective AD's chose not to play 4 FCS schools in non conference play.

    As puppy duly noted, on countless occasions, the SEC was the minority in championships won over the last 40 years. Magically they found themselves in 7 straight bcs "championship" games, one against each other.

    Basically, Alabama had to win 1 difficult game a year to be in the silver spoon championship game, with a red-carpet reception. Beat Auburn (after playing an fcs tune-up g a me vs Charelston Southern prior, and they were in (didnt matter how good Auburn was). Teams like Stanford were playing Oregon and Notre Dame in week 11 and 12.

    Bama's starters are all rested, healthy because they didnt have to play vs fcs teams, while their depth got significant and important playing time prior to their rivalry game vs 6-6 Auburn, and an auto bcs bid.

    Now that 4 conferences get an actual opportunity, the SEC just lost their inherent advantage of the corrupt bcs past..

    Mark my words, despite the outcome of Clemson-Alabama, you will see the SEC average out like the prior 30 years before their 7-straight bcs freebie titles.

    If Auburn, Alabama and LSU actually traveled to solid power 5 stadiums out of conference, they wouldnt be 12-1 every single year, with a free ride to title. Other conferences earn the trip, Alabama just has to win 1 big game a year and theyre in. So cut the shit cissy, I aint buying it.
    You wrote a lot. Fag.

    I like how puppy is blissfully unaware of who he is responding to. And how he is right this year that the SEC cleaned up in bowls, is the clear #1 conference again, and Bama is playing for the title again.

    Even though he argued against all of that.

    Bama will not win the SEC West next year. LSU or Arkansas will. Bama should struggle against USC according to puppy but he is picking Bama even though 5 Pac 12 teams could beat this year's Bama team.

    It is as crystal clear as a mud bath

    And Pup. I don't need examples of why I know Bama is going to win. We're gonna Fournette that Clemson run game like we did to LSU, since soft ass Oklahoma could not. Then, we're gonna see what their QB is made of. Can he throw on our D? Not many can. Then, we're gonna pound the ball down their throat all game (you like ball in throat). We're going to do it all with a QB that everybody on this bored has been writing off this year, and we're gonna win. Big time.

    The SEC has been on espn since 1979

    Their new contract is very lucrative, especially for an area void of big markets. Atlanta is about 11th or 12th. If you want to count Miami for Floriduh (big stretch) they're close to Atlanta. Most of those states have small TV markets. Gee, then ESPN helps create the SECN to hype its own product after the Longhorn Network flops. Interesting.
