Would we be better off leaving the SEC?

You know why there’s no exit fee to leave the SEC? Because no one thinks anyone would be ****ing dumb enough to leave the best conference in college athletics .

'Perceived' being the operative word there. It's only perception based on the big money and the national media's fawning over the Big 10, because team for team the bottom 3/4 of the ACC and Big 12 are no worse than the Big 10.

Ohio State and Oregon are better than anyone in those conferences, but other than that it is pretty much a wash. The Big 10 is far closer to those conferences in terms of competition than they are to the SEC.

There's where we disagree. I think schools like USC, Washington, and UCLA would likely have better records in the ACC or Big 12. But that's just my "perception".

USC and Washington in particular are likely to be contenders down the line. Maybe UCLA too. The Big 12 has been throughly poached and the ACC has never really had more than 3 potential contenders. The B1G has about 6. Michigan, Ohio St, Penn St, Oregon, USC, and Washington. So it's a "better" conference in mind.

Where do you people get these ideas? Back in the day, we could blame it on LSD or peyote but I’m not sure about now. I’m out of touch with the hallucinogens of choice.

I'm thinking good ole fashioned paint huffing which never goes out of style in some communities. It has the added bonus of not just making you batsh*t crazy but actually more stupid than you were (which isn't easy if you're already choosing to huff paint.)

Not this again, we are in the greatest conference in college football. To be the champion, you’ve got to beat the champion and most champions come out of the SEC.
you must’ve grown up when everyone gets a trophy and you do not want to struggle without getting a prize

It just doesn't seem like with the CFP that winning a conference title isn't as prestigious as it once was, would we be better off in the ACC or Big 12? It's not like the SEC is like it used to be...

Please just stop. It just means more in the south, why would we want to be in mediocre conference. Such a deafest attitude and not a popular or realistic one. That is not happening nor should it. GBO

Agree on Washington, maybe on USC, and doubtful on UCLA. Pretty comical that half of the Big 10's best teams are Pac 12 teams in reality. Speaks volumes about the rest of that pathetic league.

Gobbling up the Pac helped them since they got to cherry pick. Before that I would have agreed that they were about the same as the ACC/Big 12. The Pac was on around that level too. Now, it's a new world, like so many things this year.

The biggest loser is the Big 12 IMO. Seriously, who is the heavy hitter there?

SEC is head and shoulders above the Big Ten, but the Big Ten is still leagues better than the utter trash conference that is the Big 12. A bottom feeder in the Big Ten blew out the Big 12’s likely conference champ earlier this year. BYU and Colorado would be in a war for their lives every week against the likes of Minnesota and Maryland, let alone Washington, USC, and such. By the time you get to the upper tier forget about it.
