I wonder when we'll start to re-examine the quality of the SEC? - Will Hunting Aug 29, 08:02 17
- It's easy. Draw a random SEC team out of a hat and draw a random (other conference team) out of a hat. Who would you bet your life on? - volnelk Aug 29, 08:31 1

        Yes, they do grade on pass accuracy. So, if a receiver were to fall down, his grade would get dinged instead of the QB. -- nm - David Aug 29, 08:41 1
        
        (In other words, they grade the right way.) -- nm - David Aug 29, 08:41
