I wonder when we'll start to re-examine the quality of the SEC?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka kelly) Aug 29 '14, 08:02

Every year, they start with 5 teams in the Nat'l Title debate, every year 2 of them should be automatically eliminated just becuase they always choke.

South Carolina and Georgia haven't put together a full season in a decade; they are SEC versions of Clemson.

LSU hasn't had a coherent offense since the Bush Adminstration.

We're left with basically Alabama (legit), Auburn's schizophrenic pay for titles behavior, Florida (who hasn't been relevent since Urban quit), and a new A&M team that might be great, but also just beat up on Clemson-lite.

But becuase they were all ranked high to start, when we end the year with 1 strong team (Bama likely), and 3 other teams with 3-losses in a round-robin of mediocrity, we'll hear how powerful they are when the truth is, this is ordained basically from day 1.

High ranked mediocrity trading wins will never sink like it should.

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

- Well he has made, what, three QBs now? - Spawn Aug 29, 08:17 9
  - Has it been mentioned here that Tannehill was the #5 QB last year according to PFF? - David Aug 29, 08:20 8
    - despite having less yards and TDs and more INTs? -- nm - Reagen Aug 29, 08:24 7
      - PFF grades a player based on their individual performance on a play rather than the play's outcome. - David Aug 29, 08:28 5
        
        OK, but: Miami's supporting cast still sucks. -- nm - Reagen Aug 29, 08:30 4
        
        That's the point. In their evaluation, he played at a high level but didn't get any help. -- nm - David Aug 29, 08:37 3
        
        Does their system decide that some of the INTs were good passes, just caught by the wrong guy? - Spawn Aug 29, 08:39 2
        
        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
      - PFF!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 29, 08:24
Ahh, it must be Fall again. -- nm - ty97 Aug 29, 08:09
It's easy to determine. What was the SEC's record against other conferences over the past 5 years? -- nm - David Aug 29, 08:08 1
- Some quick googling indicates that they were 346-64 since 2006, 55-11 last season. - David Aug 29, 08:21
