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.

Agreed nf with weak OCC schedules, but 6 out of 10 SEC teams in BCS states what the rest of the country thinks about SEC competition and how raged the rest of the conferences must have played?
