You beat one or two good teams and you've got a 10 win season in "the hardest conference in college football".


Just wait til you see what Bama or Georgia does to Notre Dame. The top of the SEC is really good this year.

So no, until Auburn and Tennessee and Arkansas, at minimum, stop being bottom-feeders it won't be that impressive to go 10-2 in the SEC without at least looking at who you had to beat to get there.


Terrible point. Auburn wins the natty 2 years ago and Arkansas was top 10 last year. They are awful this year but calling them bottom feeders is like saying Notre Dame is a perennial power as of late.

They are bottom feeders this year. They are the very definition of bottom feeders. Auburn won no SEC games. Arkansas beat only Auburn and Kentucky, who collectively won NO SEC games. This year they are bottom feeders. Auburn was pretty awful last year, as well, and Arkansas was better, but the flip-side is that Ole Miss, MSU and Florida were all worse (much worse, in Florida's case).

I didn't say they were perennial bottom feeders, but beating them this year means precisely nothing, ditto for beating Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Mississippi State.
