SEC Challenge

[stwoody]

I happen to be in the camp that the SEC isn't the strongest conference this year. I have truly enjoyed reading the great debates on this forum ......however, there isn't much to be gained for the capper by these demonstrations.:shrug:

With that said, I do feel Florida should be playing in the NC game; however, I give them little chance to win........although I'm a big admirer of Coach Meyer, and feel they will be a force to reckon with in the future.

With that said, I would be willing to wager a (Cap of your choice; or mine if I win) if the SEC can win 66% of the bowl game straight up......

The wager calls for the SEC and all its glory to win 6 out of the 9 bowl games straight up (no point spreads).........If the SEC is truly the best conference I would think this should be very workable.....considering they are favored in 5 of those game, while 3 of the games are within a field goal! Shouldn't be a difficult task if the SEC is truly the best conference..........?

If you would like to make the wager.....simply tell me "your on" in this thread..............To share the fun.......anyone else that wants to back "All other conferences" will be matched up against the SEC backers. I will be good for 3 cap wagers.............Simply put........"Put your money where your mouth is"..........

I will take first 3 to reply......

Should be fun!:SIB

If you can't make good on the wager....please don't respond!

 

[gjn23]

hear the crickets chipring?????

funny how none of them respond immediately when forced to actually put something on the line. But boy, call their conf ONE of the best not THE best and it's like you killed a family member of theirs.

I'm shocked!:shrug: :shrug:

imo if you measure the top 3 teams in a conference the big 10 is the strongest...

osu
michigan
wisconsin

where the sec is strong is if you measure a conference strength beyond the top 3...i would give it to the sec...

fla.
ark.
lsu
tenn.
auburn
bama

these are 6 pretty strong teams, imo.

I'm w/ you. Plus, UGA not slouches. That team will rise again w/ more experience at QB.

cie...

let's take it further...

imo the pac 10 has 2 quality teams

usc
calif

maybe an argument can be made for...

oregon st
ucla
oregon

but i wouldn't rate them on par with the sec teams that i listed above.

 

[AR182]

now let's take the big 12...

okla.
texas
nebaraska

are quality teams this year...

then the next level there is...

tex. a & m
tex. tech
ok st.

 

[AR182]

now we have the acc...

bc
vt
wake

those teams are not as strong, as a whole, as the ones listed above.

interesting topic for conversation as long as we are objetive....& not subjective.

AR..i respect you, but BAMA...are you kidding me? they are comparable to IOWA this year, mediocre at best......they went 2-6 in their conference....

they are going to a bowl game b/c they beat vandy and miss, duke, la-monroe, hawaii and fla intl..gimme a break that they are a strong team

 

[gjn23]

alabama?

okalhoma + nebraska as quality teams....both whom were beat by pac-10 teams??

nationwide there are usually 2 clear cut teams....at the top of every bcs conf there are always 2-3 strong teams...and a few absolute pigs.....imho the sec ALWAYS has it's share of pigs (more so this year than the pac-10...miss-miss state-vandy vs stanford) but those people never admit it.

dice....

there's no problem with disagreeing with what i posted...it was meant to start a debate.

of course i agree that bama is not an elite team, it was an error on my part. that's what happens when you try to do too many things at one time.

we knew coming into this season that it would be a bown year for bama, but,i would rank iowa as one of the biggest disappointments in college football this year.

i'm not so sure that nebraska should be considered a quality team.their defense is not what i expected it to be.

imo okla. was robbed in the oregon game...i even think that the ref. who made the mistake even apologized for it.

Is that what that bullsh it in Eugene was? Oklahoma got bent over by the officials in that game. Officials were suspended after that horsefuc king.

you need to get off the sec kick- the sec is simply overrated- thick skulled people you are though- by the way that is not a good thing- idiots

 

[blgstocks]

I would say mizzou is worth mentioning in the middle level of big 12 teams

I think VT can hang with anybody in the country with their defense. But I do agree that the ACC as a whole might be the worst of the bcs conferences.

I think 6 is alot to ask from the SEC personally.
I have OSU beating Bama
SC beating Houston #1
Clemson Tar and feathering Kentucky
Auburn beating Nebraska #2
Ark beating Wisky#3
Penn St beating Tenn
LSU kicking the crap out of ND #4
OSU beating Fla
And Finally VT beating Georgia

So I cant take the bet, but I definitely think that any SEC fan on this site that truly believes they are the superior conference by any margin it should be easy to take the bet.
