[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 112665, member: 944"] They don't "dominate". That's really the point. Yes, some years, perhaps even most years recently, they have been the better conference. But the margin is NOT and has NEVER been "dominating" the way SECSPN and their bevy of former SEC players like Pollock have made it sound. Myths about "SEC speed" abound, when the facts don't support the strength of the myth (every league has fast guys, and at the combine it is often a non SEC guy who is fastest). You can choose to believe Sagarin if you like. Having watched a lot of football this year, I would say that UNC should beat at least half the SEC teams on any given night. Could lose to them (UNC is as inconsistent as it gets) but should beat 'em. Putting it another way, the Nolan Power Index has the middle team of the ACC ranked in exactly the middle of SEC teams. It has the SEC as the strongest conference, and pending bowl game results that make sense, BUT it is the use of words like "dominating" that irk me (and many other fans). If you're a 3 point favorite at a neutral site, is that "dominate"? I don't think so. Calm down dude. and please take your SEC love elsewhere. You're talking about a league that sells its soul for football, lies, cheats, steals, and makes a mockery of academics just short of the standard set by UNC. I'll let you go that route if the result is you're only slightly better (and that is, in any dispassionate view of the data, the accurate term for where they stand in relation to the rest of the college football world).
