It is very difficult for Southerners to embrace the fact that maybe the SEC is not as dominant as they think it is. It certainly was for a decade... but it's not now. I don't know if you've noticed, but Alabama in 4 or 5 of it's last big games... they've been losing. The SEC West, which has been so dominant for years and years, kind of embarassed itself last year. Remember the bowl season? Bama lost, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M... lost, lost, lost, lost, lost.

You may have noticed that many of the top sports writers in the country who follow college football have noticed that the Pac-12 South has become the best division in college football. Did you see how they did in bowl games? USC won, UCLA won, Arizona State won, Utah won, Arizona could have. Anybody noticed the first round last night? NINE Pac-12 players. More than the SEC. Interesting. Last 2 or 3 years. The Pac-12 Southern division is the best division in college football right now. By the way, USC just had a great recruiting class. So did Arizona, so did UCLA.

I know, Southern guy, that's TOUGH! That stings! But you gotta be honest, last year, A&M and Auburn, had arguably the worst defenses in the country. Both Mississippi schools had embarassing quarterbacks.

Look at the draft. Look at what NFL GM's are saying. The Pac-12 has got a lot of good players. In fact, the "great" SEC-West... ooooh, it's soooo dominant... you know how many guys they had in the first round last night? Actually, one... Amari Cooper. Oh wait, they had that offensive lineman from Texas A&M, he was a 5th year senior. He was recruited when they were in the Big 12. He doesn't count.

I know that's hard for a guy in Tuscaloosa. It's over. By the way, the Pac-12 not only has nicer places to live: Pacific ocean... but they've got better players now. You're gonna have to deal with that. Sorry. And, Pac-12 also gets Palo Alto, Berkley, L.A. brah, TEMPE! (now using Southern hick voice) You get Starksville!

Awesome.

Put a line between each sentence and it reads like a Zamoro post

That line discredited his entire rant.

He's a one man show, sometimes he goes over the top trying to prove his point.

Is the SEC as dominant as it was 5 years ago? No, but it's still widely considered the top league in college football.

I don't know if he's noticed, but Pac-12 teams aren't exactly winning championships either right now.

He has the same routine say something to stir the pot and let the reaction carry his program. That one long statement will now carry his show since he really is not good at talking sports. I mean the end of his rant literally was about geography...not sports.

Guy needs to go over to Sirius and stop talking about sports. He can have his "I'm Better Than You" show that his west coast cronies can jerk to.

Meh. I don't go out of my way to listen to Cowherd, but statements like this irritate me. The guy goes 3 hours a day, every single day, with no cohost. That has got to be a pain in the butt, and he still gets good enough ratings to keep his show.

but he acts like he's equal to every big time CEO, salesmen, athlete on the planet.
