Because they're 3000 miles away. They're much closer to Pac-10 teams. It's the same reason nobody from the Pac-10 is playing Miami and FSU.

Funny thing is, Utah will enter the Pac-10 and instantly be the best of the southern division. If TCU were to join the SEC, they'd lose 5 games.

And when have Utah and TCU ever proposed home and homes with SEC teams?

Georgia wasn't afraid when the murdered them. I don't think there is any reason for any SEC team to play them, anyways. Not looking to tap into the Idaho recruiting base at the moment.

you do realize that the sec east leader currently has 2 losses and we are in week 8 right? i assure you SC could have won sec titles with that type of schedule.
Click to expand...

yeah, they have 2 losses, and look at their schedule. If teams in the SEC didn't have to beat each other up week in and week out, and could only play their starters maybe 2 quarters a game, like Oregon and boise st., they'd have alot better record. Oregon doesn't have to get up and play out of their minds every week in order to win like teams in the sec. Like a few years ago, tebow had to play every snap, of every game and they still had a loss. Because of their str. Of schedule

I consider 6-0 in BCS title games kicking ass.

Bowl Records
09: 6-4
08: 6-2
07: 7-2
06: 6-3

Since 06, the SEC has gone 25-11 in bowl games. That's kicking ass. :closedeyes:

We're talking about Kentucky here, not Vandy(though Vandy does have a bowl win within the last 5 years. Washington can't say the same)

Washington has played a tough schedule thus far.

My question is, how does this make Washington a better program and team?

I'll reiterate an earlier post. Kentucky is a batter program and team than Washington because...

Kentucky hasn't had a losing season since 05. In the last 5 years they have 3 bowl wins against Clemson, Florida State, and ECU.

Arizona State hasn't finished above .500 since 07, and hasn't had a bowl win since 05.

Washington hasn't finished above .500 in about 10 or so years, hasen't won a bowl game in the same amount of time, has a winless season in 08, and only mustered 1 win in 04.

No. USC has one BCS title, and they're the only team from the Pac-10 to have competed for a BCS title. 4 different teams from the SEC have competed for BCS National Titles(Would've been 5, but Auburn got screwed), 3 in the last 4 years.

kentucky hasn't had a losing season because they play the worst nonconference schedule of any bcs team in the country. their sec record is horrible during that time. washington went through the worst stretch in program history a couple of years ago. this is kind of like arguing tenn is an inferior program to michigan state.

and none of those teams have had sustained success. you've had one great team and bunch of good, not great teams. once again. still teh best conference, but not the gap you think it is.

It really seems like they mostly play mid majors and Big 10 teams that are making a hell of a lot longer trip.

There's a reason for that. The teams that aren't winning are taking steps to get back to winning at all times.

fair and valid point. but is a pac-10 team playing utah or nebraska worse than an sec team playing the 3rd big 10 team? hard to quantify. the point is if the sec is heads and above every other conference i'd expect there to be a HUGE difference in bowl record. at least 10%.
