Oregon, Notre Dame, OU, Texas, Ohio St and USC should all schedule SEC teams every year. Then if they go undefeated no one will bring up the 1 loss SEC team. I know Georgia has Clemson next year.
7 wins, 0 losses in BCS title games (not counting last year). Did ESPN set that up, too?
When one conference keeps stomping other conferences' best into the turf, year-in and year-out, well, the "bias" is earned.
I don't understand the group think that goes on with "SEC fans." How can you be a fan of a conference? I'll never understand how Georgia, LSU, and South Carolina fans can be so happy to watch Alabama, Auburn, and Florida win national championships. As it is, bias should never happen. LSU, South Carolina, and Texas A&M should not be ranked ahead of 1 loss Florida State, and I don't even like FSU. Just because Alabama won the NC last year doesn't mean that SCAR should get preferential treatment this year.
The remark was more around the fact that the SEC would be able to play for the Natty... vs possibly being shut off the Natty.
But since you are going there... None of the top SEC teams have lost an out of conference game. Their only losses are to each other.
Ohhh you're right. The SEC has somehow managed to navigate the muddy waters of Jacksonville State, Bowling Green, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern, Towson, Western Carolina, Western Kentucky, Buffalo, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana-Lafayette, New Mexico State, East Carolina, Wofford, etc. undefeated. All hail the mighty SEC! Add in the fact that 6 SEC teams have records that are .500 or worse I'm just not all that impressed with the SEC. Georgia and Alabama are the most egregious examples of SEC cupcake schedules. Alabama, to their credit, played Michigan and after that had two tough games, both of which they struggled in, and 9 lay ups.
