They really aren't that bad.
Um, yes they are.
518 yards to Stanford....597 to AZ State!
That's garbage.

Say what you want about SEC speed, but these guys at Oregon are really, really fast.
I agree on this, but they had a decided speed advantage over Ohio State in the Rose Bowl and lost. Alabama would have no trouble at all sustaining long drives, keeping that high powered offense off the field. JMO.
And where the SEC speed shows is in the front lines of both sides of the ball. I don't think the SEC has a speed advantage when it comes to skill positions, but I think they have a huge advantage when it comes to DL,OL & LBs.

They also forced 10 turnovers in those 2 games more then making up for the yardage they gave up.

Since you have done your homework and checked the stats, I wonder how many 2nd half points that translates into for Oregon's opponents?
They were down 21-3 to Stanford, and yet ended up blowing them out after making adjustments.

No one ever backs these kinds of claims up. What makes anyone think Oregon has faster players than Ohio State? The type of offense they run? The fact that Oregon scores lots of points? Does Vanderbilt have SEC speed? If the trenches are where the SEC has that athletic advantage, why is offensive line the one position where the Big Ten has produced more NFL talent than the SEC?
