  - This -- nm - spamlet Dec 3, 06:26

      - We'd clock every team in that division, and we're like the fourth best team in the SEC East. - David Dec 2, 20:03
      - I can assure you that the Sec East all the way down to Kentucky would have swept the Big Ten West. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 20:03 1
        
        Well that changes next year it will be the 2 best teams in the conference in the championship -- nm - eag Dec 2, 20:15
