If Florida and Alabama are that good or is it that the rest of the football teams in the conference that bad. This is the worst football played in the SEC since.... ever.

My guess is that Florida is that good but I can't tell about Alabama.

You must have forgotten that our pathetic crew represented the East last year and LSU won the conf with two ugly losses.

The SEC is typically the best conference year in and year out.2 top 5 teams a lot of the time.

Watch the game this next weekend!It is the defacto national championship game.

Yes they are both that good.

That from someone who does not like either team.:)

Alabama is the most physical team in the country.

Say what you want about high octane offenses but Alabama is a team nobody wants to play.

judging by clemson and georgia tech i'm thinking that maybe the offenses just suck.

They also dispatched the best that the rest of the nation had to offer in the BCS NCG with little problem.

you don't really think OSU was the next best team?

I know they were a 1 loss Big Ten Champion who was beaten like a rug. It is tough to argue that the SECW Champion wasn't very strong, even with two losses, when they won the NCG in dominating fashion.

the SEC as a whole is down this year. the offenses, save FL, are just not very good.

TN, Aub, LSU, MSU, SC all suffered from pathetic qb play.

it could be argued that only three teams actually got better as the year went on......Ole Miss, FL and Bama.

i think the defenses are pretty good, but not as dominant as they've been in the past....FL and Bama both have good defenses.

I get your point, but please remember USC's loss to awful Stanford to go along with a loss to Oregon and near flops against lousy Arizona and Washington squads. As good as they were at times, USC could, and did, stink at others.

Ohio State deserved to be there more than anyone else, and LSU beat them soundly. I just don't think that is a very good example of the SEC's weakness.

your argument against USC could be used ad infinitum against LSU last year as well.

Miles got more breaks than a Corey Pavin tee shot to get where he was. Not to mention our awful squad represented the East in the SECCG. He couldn't have handled UF or UGA a second time.

He didn't have to handle them again. Once was enough.

I'm not arguing that they were the best national champion ever. I just don't think, as a national champion, who thumped one of the elite teams in the nation in a bowl game, that LSU is a very good example of a down SEC. They were the best of a conference that went 7-2 in bowl games and finished with 5 ranked teams, including 2 in the top 3.

again, UT winning the east was a very good example of a down SEC and please remind me of the competition LSU had in the west. The SEC was very weak last year and had the worst defenses across the board that I've ever seen in the conference. LSU had the best defense and it gaffed against UK and Arky.

We'll just have to disagree about the strength of the conference. Perhaps in some grand, universal measure of strength against the ideals of perfect football, it was lacking. However, measured against the rest of the nation, I think a 7-2 bowl record, 2 BCS wins, and a national champion speak well of the conference when compared with the rest of the nation in '07.
