[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 93967, member: 1045"] It is hard to argue with a lot of the points made in both articles, but it is also hard to argue with the SEC's success record. As I pointed out in another thread, according to a 2012 article, their success has been more significant in bowls than in the regular season ([URL='http://www.thepostgame.com/commentary/201208/better-without-em-northern-manifesto-southern-secession-chuck-thompson-sec-bcs']LINK[/URL]). Over that time, they actually had a losing regular season record against a couple of the conferences. However, if this article is accurate ([URL='http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/sec-dominant-past-decade-power-5-conference-competition/']LINK[/URL]), over the last 10 years, the SEC does in fact have a much better record against other power conferences, especially the ACC: SEC 112-65 ACC 60-101 (ugh) They have also won 7 of the last 8 national championship games. While there may be some bias in getting there, you also have to win it once you do, and they have at an admittedly high rate. While I do believe there is some bias at issue here, the other conferences really need to just step it up and start winning against them more, particularly the ACC. Lord willing, we will start the reverse of that trend in November. [/QUOTE]
