re: Please vote in this dumb Brett McMurphy poll (Poll has ended, we won)

He should say it like I said it then, which is more clear and accurate.
Saying “better from top to bottom” makes it sound like you think every part of the SEC is better.
To clarify, I never said “better from top to bottom.”
Given the context of the rest of my post, acknowledging that the B1G is top heavy, and that the phrase “top to bottom” was an add-on for qualifier in a discussion about overall talent, I thought I was being pretty clear.
B1G is top heavy, but as a whole, the SEC is still a better (and significantly deeper) conference, IMO.

Do you agree with Kirby Smart’s claim that Nick Saban’s Alabama teams from the 2010s would beat the “dog” out of today’s SEC teams? It sounds like there’s more talent overall in the conference now, so I’m not sure how accurate Kirby’s claim is.
Mostly. I do think the talent has become more evenly distributed due to the portal, as evidenced by every SEC team pumping out draft picks, and teams like Vanderbilt becoming borderline playoff teams.
I think the conference has more total talent now, but the days of teams having virtually every player on both side of the ball drafted are likely over.

You posted this here and secrant. Why do you care this much about what he thinks? Serious question, not trying to be a dick.
McMurphy has spent years shitting on LSU and all other things SEC. He is an arrogant B1G homer, who believes he’s the smartest guy in the room everywhere he is.
And I’m petty.

Yeah OP is living with noise canceling headphones on at the moment. The SEC has simply not performed well in the last couple years. The dominance reign is over for now
I don’t believe anyone is arguing dominance, but I fully agree that top to bottom, the SEC is still a better football conference.
We can argue about return on investment, doing less with more, etc. However, the SEC objectively has more talent, which is quantifiable. It also has better coaching overall, which may be a bit subjective, but I don’t think many would disagree.
Bowl records in the modern playoff/portal era are meaningless, so I’m not sure why that stat continues to be posted.

but the top heavy argument you’re making now is the same thing SEC haters always said while the league was winning the championship every year.
The difference being that the SEC was also the deepest from a talent perspective back then, too.
Let’s not conflate a marginal falloff from top heavy dominance with having been overtaken as a whole. That hasn’t happened. The B1G had 9 teams with fewer than 3 draft picks. The SEC had 3. We generally eat each other much more so than the B1G.

It’s difficult to make an argument for the SEC over the Big 10 at this point in time.
I disagree. B1G is top heavy, sure, but the SEC just broke its own record for NFL draft picks. 87 to 68 over the B1G. That’s a pretty substantial difference. I think the SEC is clearly better, top to bottom.

Yeah I guess I just don’t really care. There’s people out there that are Big 10 hating losers too. The fact of the matter is that those two conferences are clearly above the rest. The argument of which is “better” is kinda pointless are likely changes by year.
Ok, cool.

It’s more about principle than fact, at this point. McMurphy is an SEC hating loser.

Thank you for your service in humiliating this B1G loser.

As of right now the Big 10 has shown itself to be vastly more prepared for the NIL era than the SEC
What are we basing that on, other than a stacked OSU roster they paid for and an IU national championship on the backs of a roster full of transfers?

This is not even remotely true. Just because you guys say stuff like this doesn’t make it true. What proof do you have? Bowl games and the playoffs just a few months ago showed the SEC was weak top to bottom.
I believe the SEC just set a new record for NFL draft picks in a single draft.
Half of the B1G had less than 3 players selected in the entire draft. Three teams didn’t have a single player selected.

By a significant margin.

Milroe started every game but USF, where he was apparently suspended for how he responded to their loss to Texas. Rees either didn’t want to or didn’t know how to develop & utilize Milroe.

The crowd isn’t nearly as loud as the crowd in Tiger Stadium. LSU was playing on offense with minimal crowd noise in the second quarter and early 3rd when the game was still on the line.
I’m sorry, but this is laughably incorrect. How many snap infractions did we have? The JD interception was one of the loudest stadium pops I’ve ever heard, maybe going back to the 2008 game in Tiger Stadium. As others have mentioned, the noise felt well sustained, although manufactured at times. The light show coming back from a timeout was intimidating and something we need to implement, IMO.
Bama held us to 4 possessions in the entire 2nd half.
Posted by Squawk7600 on 11/5/23 at 11:00 am
This is the big story, IMO. We couldn’t get Bama off the field. That was as bad of 3rd down defense as I’ve ever seen us play. Bama was 11-14 on 3rd downs, and many of those were 5+ yard conversions.
Bama’s drives by TOP in the 2nd half:
7:10
3:38
2:53
2:28
1:36
It doesn’t matter how good our offense is if we can’t get the football in their hands.
I haven’t been that frustrated in a while. :banghead:

We have been the more penalized team twice in the last 10 meetings. We are often the heavy beneficiary of penalties & penalty yardage. This myth of refs hating LSU, especially when we play Alabama, needs to go away. It makes us all look very ignorant.

We almost always are less penalized than them, sometimes by a lot. The problem is often the unfortunate timing, which is hard to quantify.
