[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 34366, member: 639"] I will acknowledge that the SEC has been the most consistent quality conference of the last decade, BUT, they have been bolstered far more by the MEDIA MACHINE CARTEL than they have superior recruiting classes. It has been a cartel, that is really not an overstatement. ESPN and CBS spends big dough on the conference so they are going to talk them up every chance they get. That alone shouldn't mean much, but it does when the system for deciding championships heavily involves VOTING by the members of the press. ESPN and CBS dearly need their investments to pay off so they are going to vote for their wallets. SEC teams start the year with a huge advantage in the polls and enjoy the advantage all year long with how little they fall after losses etc. The year LSU played Bammer in the title game was a complete sham. A Travesty. A team that lost to the other participant already and didn't even represent their conference in their own championship game was awarded a spot over other conference champions, solely because of media bias. So, when we talk about the SEC streak etc, take it FWIW. The playoff can't get here soon enough. [/QUOTE]
