For the previous decade, what year would you say the SEC peaked the highest?

Looking back, I think the SEC in 2012 was awesome.


In the East, Florida, Georgia, & South Carolina all being top 10 teams for a solid stretch. Vandy was decent this season, too.

Bama & LSU continuing their dominating ways, but came in A&M with a great season led with their Heisman winning QB, Johnny Manziel.


I remember there being a 3 week stretch of UF-LSU-SC all playing each other. All top 10 at the same time, too. Insane.

Probably the most competitive year in the SEC as a whole in the previous decade.

2011

Made those Rose Bowl hoarding conferences lose their shite so bad they finally agreed to a playoff just to give a chance of looking relevant.

Let's be honest.

A&M in 2012 got propped up to support this narrative that Big12 offenses could compete in the SEC. They left Manzel in for like 5 TDs against shitty teams like Rice.

They played 0 tough OOC games because they were new to the conference. And that was were the majority of Manziels yards/TDs came from.

Against LSU and Florida, they got killed. Then Manziel got lucky as hell, fumbled the ball and then had it bounce back in his arms against Alabama, make a few good scrambles and throwing up some luck balls to grab a quick lead before getting shut down the majority of the remaining game. But with his pumped up cupcake stats and the highlights/win against Alabama, everything needed for the narrative was there.

2014 was pretty stacked, especially in the West. No one was easy to look past that year. Probably one of the best recent years for the Mississippi teams. The only teams with losing records were Vandy (3-9) and Kentucky (5-7).

After the Depths of Despair in 44-16, SEC rose in retribution to triumph 42 - 25, taking a knee at the Clemson 3 on 1st and goal and

READY TO EASILY HANG HALF A HUNDRED ON THAT LOUDMOUTH LOSER DABO WHO SO DESPERATELY NEEDED AND DESERVED UTTER HUMILIATION,

Coach O showed inestimable class by having his Geauxt take a knee!

In a simple act of Christian MERCY in taking a knee to spare Clemson utter humiliation, after Clemson so thoroughly, shamefully, and JOYFULLY humiliated SEC the year before, our SEC rose to its greatest heights since its inception in the year of my birth, 1934.

South Carolina had a 3 week stretch in 2012 that consisted of #5 UGA, @ #9 LSU, and @ #3 Florida. No bye week in between either. Pretty crazy.
