Secondly, look at Arkansas’s or Florida’s schedule and show me the score of that game. You obvously seem to be stuck in the Tim Tebow era Jim. As far as I know, the last time “my Arkansas team” played those guys was in 2009.

Oh and really?…every team in the SEC is “great?” (LMAO!) You’re the only one I’ve ever heard say that Jim, but whatever floats your boat I guess. Does that make your rediculous anti-SEC argument sound better?…guess so.

So, once again,…your logic stands in question (according to the facts). But hey, that’s ok Jim. Go ahead and make something else up…..

As I’ve been saying all along however, the entire SEC is not filled with great teams as top ranked teams Florida and LSU proved. The problem is when teams like your Arkansas get ranked in the top ten preseason just because they are in the SEC (and then lose to Div II schools), it creates a self fulfilling proficiency as a team like Florida moves up the rankings because they beat ranked teams such as Arkansas or Auburn.

The fallacy that every team in the SEC is somehow better than the rest of college football creates a false situation in which the SEC is granted at least one spot in the BCS game if not both. Add in the fact that the SEC refuses to play out of conference across the board and we are forced to take their word for it that they really are good teams.

Alabama was the only team in the SEC to test themselves in any fashion with one quality game outside of the SEC (give Vanderbilt their dues playing Northwestern).

Other than the National Championship game the SEC played down in ranking across the board yet look at how close the games were.

If Notre Dame had lost a regular season game we very well could have see Florida vs. Alabama in the BCS game. As Louisville proved, Florida should never have risen above No. 20 or so yet thanks to the inflated rankings of the SEC (as I outline above) there they were in the National Championship discussion. Even after getting completely blown out by Louisville, they still managed to finish the season in the top ten. Why? Because they played and entire division full of over ranked teams.

I stand by my comments 100 percent.

Anyway, was just curious how your theory was holding up these days, and good luck with it next season.

This of course was a No. 3 team that seemed to think that they belonged in the BCS Championship game. Tell me again who they beat that justifies that ranking least bit a BCS title shot? Bowling Green? La-Lafayette?

Here, let me help you. They played the “toughest schedule in the county” as ESPN just deemed it. That means they played against No. 23 Tennessee, No. 4 LSU, No. 7 South Carolina, No. 10 Georgia. The only ranked team outside of the SEC that they beat was No. 10 Florida State in a rivalry game.

They started the season No. 23 and by week two were ranked one spot above Louisville. Judging by the bowl game, one spot above Louisville was somewhat generous. Yet with only one more loss than Louisville, they found their way to the No. 3 spot come bowl season by beating untested, over-ranked SEC teams.

I’ve demonstrated that across the board the SEC has played down in ranking in the bowls yet have all struggled until late in the game or lost outright. So far Vanderbilt is the SEC’s one saving grace and they were beaten by a Big Ten team earlier in the season.

Arkansas plays a future NC team every year because the system is granting the SEC a BCS title spot before the season even starts. Like most conferences the SEC offers 2-3 teams worthy of a high ranking every year yet they start the preseason with 5-7 teams ranked way beyond what they deserve. They beat untested, over-ranked teams and it’s a clear path to the BCS game.

This year the SEC opened with 5 teams in the ranked in the top ten including the top two spots and two more in the top 25. Of those seven teams, two lost their bowl games to teams ranked outside of the top 10, two barely slipped by opponents ranked at least 9 spots lower if they were ranked at all and two didn’t even make it to a bowl game one of which was beaten by a Div 2 school and another finished the season 3-9.

Everything I’ve said about the SEC this season has come to fruition. The BCS is a self-perpetuating system that all but hands at least one spot in the BCS Championship and at least one more BCS game to SEC teams.

Louisville played a great game and deserves all accolades. It’s just unfortunate that their win was deemed an upset instead of the rightful victory they deserve.
