Is it time to retire the term "SEC defense"?

I think it's about time to end this theory that SEC defenses are far superior to other conferences.
This was absolutely a thing for I would say about a decade from 2003-2013ish, when SEC defense just had more difference makers on the DL primarily that other schools didn't have. But in the last decade, and especially the last 5 years, they are no different than other teams DLs who are good teams.
I heard it during the VT/USCe game early and I heard it yesterday in the Bama/FSU game

LSU’s defense just sent Clemson to tSeppuku chamber.

Just when LSU has a feisty defense again? No way Jose.

Nowadays the only way to play defense is to tackle the guy after he scores a touchdown and hope he tries to switch the ball to his other hand while falling out of bounds.

Texas just held you to 14 points. Nows probably not the time for this thread from you

So OSU is SEC Defense Plus then?
Posted on 8/31/25 at 4:49 pm to Buckeye06
OSU usually has a ton of talent on their defense. So yeah, they can be considered an SEC level d

It should have been retired years ago. Even 2019 lsu, one of the goats, had a mediocre defense

Eh, fully healthy they were a very solid defense if I remember correctly

Which conference has the best D?
Posted on 8/31/25 at 5:36 pm to Buckeye06
Conferences have become too unwieldy in size to make any kind of bold proclamation about the whole, imo.
That said, the SEC - followed closely by the Big 10 - have the most good players, individual units, etc.

LSU looked like a championship defense last night.
Bama looked like a Big 12 defense. Soft as baby shite.

Conference pride is the gayest thing ever. I hope everyone in the conference sucks and dies in a fire.
Do winners of the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, or MLB care or brag about how tough their conference is?
Why do college football fans do this?

You play in a 2 team conference. We don't care what you think.

When other conferences can catch up, then maybe we will. Definitely hasn’t happened yet.
