Is anyone going to mention how average the SEC looks?
- Thread starter gjn23
- Start date
what i see is typical sec scheduling
4 ooc games
0 ooc road games
4 total road games
0 games requiring a long road trip
Dude - they played North Carolina on a neutral field. They play West Virginia at home this year before returning the trip to Morgantown next year. LSU played a home and home with AZ St. if I remember.
Enough with the obsession with the SEC. Jack did a great thing a couple of years ago when your brother Scott4USC was going crazy - "SportsTeams and Their Fans" - look into it.
:00x3
yeah.....that's their answer to a road game....a neutral field game.
yes lsu did schedule arizona a few years ago...when they had their best team and arizona was at its absolute worst
the reality is....the sec rarely ever heads on the road to play games vs bcs teams.
time to move on.
Zona's OOC schedule
at Toledo
Citadel
Iowa
but they do travel to Wazzou this year:0074
in the last 6 seasons including this year, Zona has played road games against 2 BCS schools, LSU in '06 and Iowa this year
In the same timeframe LSU has played the same amount of true road games against BCS schools, Zona St in 2005 and at UW to open the 2009 season (also played UNC this year at a neutral site)
Next year LSU will open the season w/ a game vs Oregon at a neutral site and will travel to West Virginia, while Zona's only road game against an OOC BCS school next year will be at Okla St
So basically the same amount of road games vs BCS schools for both teams, while LSU also will have played 2 games against top20 ranked BCS teams at neutral sites:shrug:
just the facts man, just the facts.........

If arkansas goes into Athens this weekend and wins, they may beat Bama at home.
Never count out my boys in the Iron bowl.
Just caught up on all of this, haven't seen a "SEC isn't the best conference" debate in a long time. I didn't think they still went on because it's obvious that our best can beat your best on any given day. SEC's middle of the pack teams can beat everyone else's middle of the pack teams as well.
Whoever said SEC gets too much love from preseason polls and gets benefits etc etc etc
That is stupid and incorrect. You must be mistaking us for the ACC. VTech plays 2-3 games a year and goes 1-2 and still ends up in the top 10-12 at the beginning and end of every season.
Same person, I think, said SEC champ gets BCS NC bias every year. Why the hell wouldn't they? How many SEC teams have lost a BCS National Championship game? I'll hang up and wait for your response....
As for this year:
Put anyone in the country against Bama in a 3 game series Home-Away-Neutral. Bama wins at least 2 out of 3 and would sweep 90% of the teams. (I'm an auburn fan i hate bama but it's true) I don't care who your team is, their athletes are better than yours.
Florida, Scarolina, Arkansas, LSU and Auburn could go 9-3 or better in any other conference this year.
UGA and Kentucky the jury is still out IMO. Kentucky is not a bad team... UGA's defense is weak but they could still beat most mid-tier teams in other conferences.
Tennessee, Ole miss, MSU, Vandy - .500 would be a serious victory for any of these teams.
Of course this is all just my opinion and haters are gonna hate. But we have the best bowl record in the last 10 years and you can't argue with facts.

"Ole Miss is off this week, then plays Alabama, Arkansas and Auburn on consecutive Saturdays."
Just read this in a story on rivals - think this sentence helps explain the SEC situation in a nutshell - not a stretch of games that I envy - Bama currently in a Ark/UF/SC run as well
