The discussion was how often the SEC championship game factored into the national title.

If you want just BCS era, then your number drops from 9 (which I gave as statistic for all of the SEC Championship Game's history) to 6.

There was no title game before the BCS. The SEC was set in 2001 as well as this year which would equate to 8 out of 13 years in which the SEC would automatically send it's champ to the title game. An undeafted SEC team is all but guaranteed a slot in the national title game. If they slip up, there is no guarantee even if there slip up was a fluke. Would make you think it's tougher to reach the BCS title game than the Superbowl looking at it that way, huh?
so 6 in 12

The main discussion was never whether it was harder to reach the BCS title vs the Super Bowl, was it?

It was about whether winning the SEC championship was somehow equivalent to winning the AFC/NFC championship, which is the yearly championship bid and determined by a 19 game trek rather than 8-9 (many times with games against lesser teams like UABs inbetween)


Honestly, I was willing to be done, but you keep responding back each time lol. Your end it post came up while I was typing my response to the previous message before it; that's why I didn't respond to the "agree to disagree" / "done" message....I was willing to leave it be and end there lol.....of course then you went on to respond to more of the ones before that

In the NFL you have to deal with a team that can hand you your head on a platter every single week. In college, undefeated teams are more common for a reason. It is easier. SEC bravado shouldn't blind you to the fact that the NFL is a completely different animal. Winning the SEC is very much like being at the top of the best division in the NFL. There is no playoff. There is no intermediate step, yet you want to compare the stages as equal. If the NFL used the college system then the 13-3 Titans would have never had to play the Ravens in 2008. They would have just gone straight to the AFC Championship Game. NFL losses do not equate to college losses. The level of competition is simply better and much more balanced.

In all honesty, I'm not sure I remember where we started. lol

Agree to disagree. (I'm wanting to respond, but there's no need to start the circle again. lol)

This is true, no UTC's to beat up on in the NFL. Also the reason why there are so many guys that never make the transition from college to the pro game very well. It takes your total attention, mentally and physically. If you're not all in, you'll be on the waiver wire in no time.
