[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 818326, member: 1640"] No. Not saying any of that. Here’s what I’m saying: A person points out that LSU was a truly abysmal team last year and some one else says, “ Yeah, but they recently won a national championship.” I’m not disputing your tiers so much as I am wanting clarification on them. When does the statute of limitations run out on having won a national championship, for instance? Likewise, if teams hit a downward skid for a period do they lose their top tier status? It’s been a while since Auburn was elite, especially from the perspective of an 18 year old. If Clemson has a down year this year, which I’m predicting, does that negate being one of the top teams in the nation for the last five years? I’m not entirely disagreeing with you; I’m just wondering how we make your examples less arbitrary. To my eyeball test there are teams in three other conferences that certain SEC teams would lose 2 out of 3 games to if they played head to head. But we don’t usually get to see those matchups. Also, if you take strength of schedule there have been past years where Alabama had the weakest schedule in the P5. That doesn’t make Alabama a bad team but it does mean we don’t often get a fair comparison of relative strength of conferences. Oh, and for the record, if you think Michigan is going to be down forever you don’t know that culture. Even uga doesn’t hold a candle to the ferocity of fan support those people have. [/QUOTE]
