Fair enough. The issue with the SEC is that its weak OOC scheduling may one day bite it. I think SEC rides a reputation right now but you got to think there are only so many chances for SEC to prove themselves.
LSU for example only had FSU so its only real strength barometer was that game and they didn't show. If Alabama and Ole Miss lose today, what does the SEC West look like? There isn't other Power 5 teams. If LSU had, let's say, Oregon State later on their schedule and won that game soundly, people would likely think higher of LSU. But because LSU plays trash teams the rest of the schedule, they only have that one benchmark.
