[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 818209, member: 198"] Your logic is flawed. It's been shown to you numerous times why your logic is flawed, so I won't recite it again here. Whether the SEC is the best or not the best is a matter of conjecture, discussion, and opinion. Spouting that they win the NC more than anyone else doesn't mean they're the best, it means that at least 1 team in that conference was good enough to beat two other highly ranked teams after the regular season was finished. How are these highly ranked teams deemed to be highly ranked? They're voted there. Who are they voted by? Well, that's not really clear. We know the sportswriters probably cast their own vote, but all the other voters are questionable. Ah, but there's the computer rankings, that's unbiased, right? Well, no. Not really. Computer rankings are based on how these teams did against other teams that are deemed to be good, average, or bad teams. How are they ranked to support these computer rankings? Well, by what they did last year, who their opponents are, where they're ranked, etc. It's a vicious cycle that props up those who have brand recognition (i.e. SEC! SEC! SEC!) and other well-heeled teams. So, no, the SEC isn't the best because they win the most championships. The SEC is "the best" because they say they are and ESPN supports that because it furthers their agenda (i.e. to make more money and control College Football so they can make more money). If they keep saying it long enough people like you will start to believe it. Then it will become a reality. Fake it till you make it. When the SEC steps outside their little fiefdom, and play someone of "their caliber" outside their conference, more likely than not, they get shellacked. There's a reason uga hadn't played a game west of the Mississippi in like 50 years before they played Colorado; they didn't want the high-profile loss. Well, they got their asses handed to them. The SEC is getting better about playing the big boys, but 2/3 of their conference is horse-****, just like everyone else.
