Don't try to talk logic with SEC fans. It just won't work and is a waste of your time.

Last year the SEC was the strongest conference but it wasn't all powerful like the fanboys like to think. The bowl games bare out that opinion. LSU creamed Norte Dame, almost as bad as Michigan earlier in the year. Notre Dame beat Georgia tech by a TD and beat UCLA on a last second score, big deal. The Irish played 3 good teams last year and got trounced every time. Florida spanked OSU but what did that really prove? All the SEC fans last year were saying OSU came from a weak conference and hadn't played anyone. Was Florida that good last year, I don't know, maybe but maybe OSU was as weak as the SEC fans thought. Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee lost their bowl games, Kentucky and Georgia won by a TD or less. Hardly evidence of a dominent group of teams.

This year I have seen nothing to make me think the SEC is any better than the other conferences, yet.

Well would you agree that there is less of a gap between talent within the the SEC as opposed to the Big 10 or Big 12?

The 12 looks like 3 good teams, 2 or 3 average teams and several practice squads.

Dunno, Big ten and the SEC look really similar except the Ten had an obviously dominant team. The SEC's most dominant team was Georgia but the early losses kinda blew them off the radar screen. Other than that both conferences were really evenly matched except for a few cellar dwellers at the bottom.

[55semireef]

Yeah the Big 10 may have a similar outlook but I definately would there is much more talent in the SEC than the Big 10. Woudn't you agree?

[The Grim Reefer]

Honestly I don't know overall. SEC has a few high profile stars but is the level of overall talent higher, really hard to say.

I would really like to see the NCAA take some control over scheduling. I was really looking forward to seeing SC and Georgia play. It would be cool if they came up with a standard where teams had to play at least 1 BCS out of conference game a year. Be a lot easier to judge what level the conferences are really at.

[55semireef]

I would have loved to see a UGA/USC matchup. I think that would have probably have been one of the best matchups of the year.

[The Grim Reefer]

Would have settled a lot of questions/arguments.

I saw a pretty good explaination of why Illinois was chosen for the Rose Bowl over Georgia.

If the Rose Bowl committee had pitted Georgia against USC there is little doubt it would have been the highest rated post season bowl game, surpassing even the national championship game in viewers. It would have featured what is arguably the best two teams in the nation at this point but also east verses west, Pac 10 against SEC.

By choosing Illinois the PAC 10 Big 10 tradition was preserved. It was also the only was a SEC team could appear in the sugar bowl thus upholding that tradition. Being a very caring organization the Rose Bowl people put tradition ahead of profit.

THAT AND THE FACT THE NCAA IS GIVING THE ROSE BOWL A VERY LARGE BRIBE!!!!

Yeah, I bet a lot more people would have been interested in the UGA/USC game over LSU/OSU. All I got to say now is Hawaii is going to get raped by UGA and USC is going to put a whooping on Illinois. Not really to sure about West Virginia and Oklahoma. LSU will beat OSU.

[The Grim Reefer]

I am not so sure about LSU winning, I am not impressed by either team. I would have liked to have seen some decent east vs west action. I think OK vs Florida could have been a great game. Arizona state and Texas should be fun.

[55semireef]

Just imagine the two offenses of FLA and Oklahoma going at it? That would be a high scoring game for sure.

So who is going to win the heisman? It's obviously one of two SEC players...McFadden of Tebow.

I put my money on Tebow.

[Cubman777]

I think that Tebow will win.

Heck, he rushed for more td's than McFaddon, and of course was a pretty decent qb as well.
I know that McFaddon is a great player, but Felix Jones averaged more ypc than he did out of the same backfield this year. Kevin Smith, the rb out of UCF ran for 700 more yards than McFaddon did this year. You dont even hear his name though. He had like 2,450 yards or something. That is rediculous in a short college season.

[The Grim Reefer]

I hope Tebow, He and Mcfadden are going to split the vote. If someone else outside the SEC would have stepped up, Like White at WV he would have taken it because of the split. McFadden is crazy good but he hasn't really made himself stand out this year other than that LSU game. Normally Tebow wouldn't have a chance in hell but none of the other Heisman candidates lived up to their expectations. I say its a tossup between those 2 but again with the split someone unexpected could sneak in. Last I saw Dixon was still getting a lot of support. If he hadn't gotten hurt I think he'd be the favorite.

[emerald chondro]

Tebows gonna win it....i mean lets face it he rushed for more tds as a qb then Mcfadden and they play in the same conference so its not like Tebows going against a cupcake schedule and Mcfadden isnt

[The Grim Reefer]

But I bet you McFadden goes very high in the draft. The difference I see between him and Reggie Bush is MsFadden can be a leader and take control of a game. Bush was crazy good but he wasn't a playmaker like McFadden can be.

[55semireef]

If Dixon hadn't got hurt and Oregon won out, Dixon most likely would have got it. McFadden put up better numbers than he did last year but what did Tebow did this year may never be done again. Tebow is just plain nasty. You will occasionally see players like McFadden come and go. The chances you will see another Tebow is almost never.

coughVinceYoungcough

but in all seriousness Tebow is playin sick this year

[The Grim Reefer]

Yeah, not to take anything away from Tebow but he has grabbed a lot of TD's this year in garbage time when he had no business being in the game. Tebow is a better passer than young was but young had better field sense.

[55semireef]

Young was also a senior when he left. Tebow is only a sophomore.

[The Grim Reefer]

Oh contrare semi one, young left as a junior.

He wasn't a senior? Hmmm, I could have swore he was. I believe you though if you say so.

[The Grim Reefer]

Yeah, he split a year early. Probably a big mistake cause he would have been a lock for the Heisman last year. Bush went out as a junior too.

[55semireef]

TEBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
