[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 818211, member: 2957"] Alabama has been great for a very long time. Eighteen national championships. Saban has been there since 2007 and won 6. I get it, everyone likes to pile on the SEC. But day in day out, they fill stadiums, they sell millions in SWAG, their tailgates are packed, their stadiums lead the NCAA in attendance and fans support them. And yes, they get a A LOT of recruits. Forty years ago, West Georgia was a recruiting area for Tech (if you wanted to be an engineer, your choices then were pretty much Auburn or Tech). Today, from Newnan west is Auburn country. I asked them if they ever considered Tech and the answer was no ... they want to play against their friends and their friends play for SEC schools. The ACC is historically a basketball conference. Great history but it is a smaller sport in terms of arena size, attendance, etc. Vandy is an aberration. They are only in the SEC for the money. I would argue that the SEC simply plays a better brand of football than other conferences. Personally, come the start of the season, I'll watch every Tech game and then ... sit down for all of the SEC games on the tube. I just enjoy the SEC games more than any others. (If I could waive a magic wand, I'd put Auburn back on our schedule.) [/QUOTE]
