re: Reality Check: 3 SEC teams won 11 games, 6 SEC teams won 10 games

The real reality unless already mentioned is that our top 6 SEC teams in the BCS top 10 sustained all their losses from EACHOTHER.
There were no other SEC or non conference teams that beat our top 6.

But look at who they were playing? When not playing each other they were playing the not-very-good bottom of the SEC and not-very-good OOC opponents. FSU, Clemson, and Michigan were the only good OOC opponents that those top six teams faced, and I'm being charitable with my use of the word "good" in all cases.
Two ACC teams and a middle of the pack Big-10 team in a bad Big-10 year aren't accomplishments to hang your hat on.
I think the top 6 SEC teams are pretty damn good, but most of them have inflated records due to charitable scheduling.

FINALLY some intelligence in this thread.
In the West, LSU beat A&M, A&M beat Alabama, Alabama beat LSU. The three top teams were 1-1 vs. each other.
In the East, Georgia beat Florida, Florida beat SC, and SC beat Georgia. The three top teams were 1-1 vs. each other.
The inequity of the league schedule shows though when you compare the teams and their records vs. the top teams in the other division:
Record vs USC/FLA/UGA:
LSU: 1-1
A&M: 0-1
ALA: 0-0
Record vs. ALA/LSU/A&M
FLA: 2-0
USC: 0-1
UGA: 0-0
To me, Florida has the best resume' of the bunch. They beat 2 of the top 3 West teams, lost only to UGA, who was a great East team, and beat Florida State handily on the road.
The East teams all got a bonus victory since Missouri joined the league as well...replacing a Western Division opponent with Missouri certainly helped the East build its record.
