Funny, but takes some nerve after Iowa got trounced by a struggling SEC team in their bowl game last year.

Not to mention they have a very favorable schedule this year. Wisconsin will be their best win. No Michigan, Michigan St., or Ohio St.

Kudos... I thought that was very well done. I especially like the "but no one will understand it but Vanderbilt" line from the little boy.

This is so stupid. If anything, the "national narrative" has always been that if a very good SEC team beats another very good SEC team, then our conference is "OVERRATED!"

By virtually every objective measure of schedule strength, the SEC teams dominate SoS every single year. But the national media always finds so goofy excuse as to why SEC schedules are weak. It's always "the Pac-12 plays 9 conference games instead of 8." Yeah, the Pac-12 also seems to routinely have about 3 or 4 cellar dwellers every year. Not knocking the Pac-12, but our bottom teams tend to be better than the bottom teams in every other conference. (Though, Vandy is starting to suck again, so that's a bit of a reprieve.)

Then, we're told the SEC is overrated, because we go 5-5 in bowl games, where our #11 team might be matched up against another conference's #2 team. The bowl record has been the biggest SEC critic argument, but it's a weak argument because the bowl games try to come up with even matchups, and our "even match-ups" might be to pit our #7 team against the #3 ACC team.

SEC haters gonna hate. And again, I don't think that it was created by Iowa supporters. Why would he ask the kid to pass him the bowl of sour grapes?

I got a chuckle out of it, some of you must bunch up your panties in your cracks before you even put them on if you're upset about this.

Who is upset? Most people found it funny. You, in your typical smarmy ass way, always try to project. Your life must really suck.

It's actually in response to one about Iowa being undefeated. It was a rant on SECN.
I thought it was funny.

You want bias? Try living in the middle of Hawk country. They'll crap on the SEC with that #SECBias bs all the time, yet can't present any logical argument as to why the Big 10 is better. Hell, their conference can't even count.

Quoting myself here, but the guy in the video doesn't bring up any valid points either.

I'm not a "fan" of SEC football except for Tennessee. But damn the idiots who say SEC isn't the best and most difficult conference are just ignorant.

We share a common opponent in North Texas. We should smoke them like Iowa did.
Let Iowa play Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas and Bama.... Whatever!

There are at least 6 SEC teams that would go undefeated with that schedule. Heck, Kentucky would have a shot to go undefeated with that schedule.

Sports Illustrated thinks Iowa will play Ole Miss in the Outback Bowl. Iowa would be at a severe speed disadvantage and would take a beating.
