If a B1G team loses the whole conference stinks
If the PAC second place team loses to the 6th place team it's the team is soft
Big XII the team has no defense etc
SEC team loses it's parity athletes etc

Oh and no team outside SEC would have winning record in conference.

Because the SEC West has lost exactly one game outside of the SEC West all season.

Same questions I asked. Baam almost losing to Arkansas is glossed over. And while we are improved there are other teams going through similar rebuilds. Had they *almost* won like we did they would have took their conferences juggernaut's reputation down.

I have seen Arizona referred to as a "mediocre" team and that is why Oregon should not be in the playoff discussion

Because the sec is the best conference, comprised of the best teams, with the best athletes.
If you don't believe that then you simply don't watch football (or the draft)

I watched Arizona in person when they played UTSA in the Alamodome this year. They really aren't all that great. Just throwing that out there. Carry on.

They are not mediocre either. I watched that game too. Teams do improve.

Are you watching this Duke Pitt game? These teams fricking suck. SEC teams don't.

I;m not sure I get your point. Bama did win and Zona has had 4 wins of 7 point or less.

How about Auburn last year barely beating Wash St in game 1 with the refs. Was Washington St just that good or did Auburn get better?

Let's say Oregon won a close by one to...... Colorado. SEC fans every where would scream that it wasn't just a bad showing and that Oregon sucks themselves.

That was not the case with Bama when they beat us. A gutsy, undermanned(at the moment) team.



Arizona this year resembles how Auburn started the year last year. Nobody says Auburn sucked.

Overall I would just like it if fans let stuff play out more before making definitive statements like team A would lose 5 in conference x
