So you guys think barely losing to georgia, USCe, and beating up on Florida for 3 quarters isn't worth 4 wins in the big whatever they are to be called now?

you guys are crazy.

Letting the dooley hate blind you to a terrible conference and a prolific offense.

don't forget the awesome 3rd quarter against mississippi state or the outstanding 1st half against missouri.

the first minute and a half against vanderbilt was also impressive.

The worst thing that could have happened to the SEC happened: a college football playoff.

While the SEC certainly earned hype, that hype eventually fed on itself and created more hype. The bottom line is that for the past seven years, the best team in the SEC was going to participate in the SEC Championship Game (and, in one year, two SEC teams). That was due to hype. Thus, the SEC has realistically had a 50% chance at winning a national title every single year; while other major conferences have been battling to put together a team to fill the second slot.

With four slots, it is going to be tough to justify giving the SEC two of them. Thus, a 50% chance is cut in half. And, moreover, a great non-SEC team that just happens to stumble once down the stretch will now remain in the mix (Oregon, anyone?) making it that much tougher in the postseason.

And, before anyone jumps all over this like gnats to ****, Alabama was by far the best team in college football in 2013. But, Oregon would have given them as much trouble as aTm, in my opinion.

I don't see it. Mariota is good, but their whole track team offense got shut down by Auburn's godawful D. Can't imagine it would go too well for them against Alabama.

Game of the year last year would have been us vs the Ducks. 1st to 100 wins. Guess we'll never know.

Screw chokelahoma and Stoops.

That said, eight conference games, non conference scheduling and stipulations are pussary moves on the part of SEC, and agree with trut to a point that hype has been a part of putting the conference where it is.

That said....8 conference games in the SEC is more dangerous (potential loss wise) than any other conference. When a team is trying to win it all they need to be in position to win it all. Playing a ridiculously hard ooc schedule would be moronic. I agree with Alabama's, Tennessee's, and most other (except UF) Sec teams method of playing 1 difficult ooc game and some pansies.

Due to the hype, over the past handful of years, a one loss SEC team would always take precedence over any other one-loss team. So, not as dangerous from the perspective of national title shot.

Stoops is trying to create hype for the BIG ten/eight/whatever to inflate Oklahoma's chances of getting into the new playoff, simple as that. He knows as well as anybody else, that two of the three worst teams in the SEC last year - UT and Auburn - have won as many BCS championships as Oklahoma.

Sorry Bob, didn't know they made crystal balls for 5th in the Big 12. Who cares??????? The reason teams look like they are horrible in this league is because 7 of the top 10 or 12 teams in the country are in it.

Muschamp heard the quote Wednesday and told the media (h/t Palm Beach Post), “I’d be saying the same thing if I were in the Big 12. I said it for three years.”

And due to the hype, undefeated teams have taken precedence over a one loss SEC teams in recent years!

Of course, maybe something probably still should be said for each of those teams has only appeared in that title game once. While the other, 4 times.

Agree, especially regarding the conference and the scheduling. Everyone else is moving to 9 games, the SEC needs to as well...but the commissioner has to push for that change, ADs and coaches never will.

Back in 1991, all the coaches (Majors included) went on record saying how bad an idea going from 7 conference games to 8 plus a conference championship following the USCe and Arkansas additions, how all it was going to do was make it too difficult for teams and cost the league's teams national championships. Kramer had to pretty much force them (kicking and screaming) to adopt what became the current setup...and look how, despite their resistance, it turned out.

2005-06 was the last time an SEC team did not make the BCS National Title Game. A two-loss UGA team lost to WVU in the Sugar Bowl (making that three losses on the year). In 05-06, undefeated Texas squared off against undefeated USC in the title game. Which SEC team do you think should have made it? LSU, even though they lost in the SEC Championship Game?

Tennessee. Played in SEC, only one OOC loss. Automatic qualifying there.
