There are too many quotes in this thread that I could reply to with the same statement so here goes...
People who complain about SEC bias in football are just like those who complain about BE bias in hoops. The talent is better, the competition is better, the fan bases are better, the atmosphere is better, the overall product is better. There is no comparing to BE Football and SEC Football, just like there is no comparing BE Hoops and SEC Hoops. We are so far inferior to the SEC in football it is beyond crazy to me that people are questioning it. Take off your blinders. Yeah, Rutgers and Louisville are undefeated, it doesn't mean they are on par with South Carolina, Miss St, Florida or Bama. That's like saying, "Your BMW gets you from point A to point B? So does my Kia, my Kia is just as good as your BMW!" Its delusional and so far out of touch with reality its boarderline insane
And some years the BE shows their prowess in the NCAA bb tournament and some years the big boys of the BE get bounced out pretty early. That happened two years ago (with one glorious exception) when the BE sent nine teams to the tournament. Pitt is the perennial poster child for going in with a great rep and going down early.
The SEC is the conference to beat in football as far as I'm concerned. But set up a format that allows for them to prove it in a tournament and not on perception alone. The travesty isn't tzznandrew's contention. The travesty is the corralling of the postseason in the manner that leaves fans arguing whose better without the opportunity to see things played out on the field. Run the postseason like the 1-AA tournament. The SEC should still be the best conference and fans will still find something to argue about, but at least things get measured on the football field and not in some person's head.
