I just finished reading Lisa's evaluation of LSU. It doesn't suprise me that a USC fan is belittling the SEC, because they are still reeling from the embarassment of losing the National Championship to an SEC team. All last year SEC fans had to endure the bragging that eminated from Southern California as well as from Ohio State. In the end, the Florida Gators proved that the SEC is still the best conference.
USC lost to UCLA, hardly a great team, and Michigan lost to OSU. Meanwhile, Florida just rolled along biding their time until they finally got the opportunity to show the Big 10 what SEC football is all about. Make fun of LSU, make fun of Georgia, root for Cal against TN, but at the end of the day if Georgia wins and TN wins, will you change your mind Lisa?
The margin of victory is not the only thing that matters. If it was, then USC should have won the national title last year. The blew out many opponents, only to lose the game that counts. Winning all your games is what matters. USC is a dominant team in a weak conference. LSU, Georgia, FL, TN, and Auburn, are all good teams in a dominant conference. Only one can survive to fight for a national title, while USC just has to win against mediocre competition all year to go to the BCS title game. Not to mention that the SEC has a play off set up which adds one more level of toughness to earn its BCS title shot. For that reason alone, USC should have the upper hand to make it. The deck is stacked in a Trojan way.
I look forward to seeing a post from Lisa/all other SEC haters when TN and Georgia win. If they lose, I will be posting about how great the PAC 10 is.
No matter who wins or loses, isn't it great that we can officially start the trash talking. Let the bragging begin.
