yes it is,
it is obviously not 100%, but if the two teams are very close to each other in talent and ability the first winner is at a disadvantage.

Yep. LSU/Georgia in 2003 and Auburn/South Carolina in 2010. Close the first time and then the first game winner blew the doors off the other team the second time. Ouch.
the loser, learns of his weaknesses and plugs them up, while the winner is forced to try something new...if that does not work, they are SOL. If they find new weaknesses, then they may be OK, but when the twp teams are close to each other in ability it becomes much harder to do so.

Another example of just pulling something out of one's arse and claiming it's a fact. There's nothing to support this assertion but repetition.

And so is the loser, only they are in the worse position of not having found as many weaknesses to start with. Also, weakness aren't necessarily plugged up. UGa didn't have the OL to protect Greene from our pass rush in 2003. That didn't change between the regular season game and the SECCG. South Carolina didn't have the defense to stop Cam Newton in the first game last year. That didn't change in the SECCG.

What a revelation. It's harder to beat a team that is about as good as you are than to beat a team that is far inferior to you. Wow. Alert the coaching staff immediately.
