[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 99143, member: 1451"] Exactly so. If you look at the SEC's schedule this year, pretty much every team faces one FCS and three FBS opponents. The collective win-loss record for those FBS opponents, against other FBS Power-5 teams, is currently 59-85. However, most of the wins in that tally come from traditional ACC rivals (Clemson, Tech, Florida State, and Louiville). If you exclude those teams, the SEC's FBS opponents are collectively 29-76 against Power-5 teams. Other than the ACC teams, the only meaningful opposition has been Alabama playing West Virginia, Auburn playing Kansas State, LSU playing Wisconsin, and Tennessee playing Oklahoma. All totaled, SEC teams will face only 8 meaningful opponents (9 actual games, since Clemson plays both S.Carolina and Clarke County Community College) in 56 non-conference games. Aside from those eight teams, the SEC's opposition is collectively [B]8-65[/B] vs. Power-5 teams. And that's not including the one FCS cupcake on each team's schedule. The narrative of "SEC dominance" is a media fabrication note borne out by actual performance on the field. [/QUOTE]
