I posted a blog here last week and asked the question "why does the media hate the SEC". And after some of the articles I've seen this morning it obvious the question is still there. On foxsports.com this morning under the college football section what do I see but a comment about how Urban Meyer begged to get into the championship game. Lets look at some of the facts. 1 Ohio State beat Michigan. 2 UCLA beats USC. Both came at the end of the season. 3 USC then beats Michigan like a red-headed step child in the Rose Bowl. Face it Michigan no one wanted to see you get beat by Ohio State again. But its obivious that several media players wanted a rematch to keep Florida out of the title game. Why? 41-14 answers that question. And all you'll here about totoday is how Boise State is the only undefeated team left. And don't misunderstand me, that's a great accomplishment. But can anyone tell me how many top 25 teams they played? So as I've said before the SEC is the most difficult conference to play in. On the blog I posted friday someone made the comment that the SEC should schedule a tougher non-conference games. But in reality Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and Notre Dame should do it. Florida and LSU finished in the top five of the polls, so where is the rush by the above mentioned non-SEC teams to schedule them as a non-conference game. Its not going to happen. With a few exceptions they don't want to risk a loss by playing an SEC when they can schedule a team from the "we're just happy to to get spanked by you if you pay us enough" conference. And while those teams are at it play a conference championship game while your at it. Oh wait can't do that - another chance for a loss. So sorry Big 10, PAC 10, Big 12, ACC, Big East, independant Notre Dame, and all the other conferences - but the National Champion resides in the SEC. Better luck next year.
In the last 6 years, Southern Cal has scheduled 4 sec teams....auburn twice, arkansas twice. Two ACC teams too...Va Tech. Spanked them SEC teams all 4 times...maybe thats the reason why you don't schedule top teams from other conferences? SC has no problem with it. In 2008-9 , USC has Ohio State on their schedules. Is Western Carolina still on yours?
I am just your average sports fan who believes the following: 1 - Div. 1 college football needs a playoff. 2 - The SEC is the toughest conference. 3 - Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC are the most over-rated teams in college football. 4 - An attractive woman who knows sports is every man's fantasy. 5 - The MLB season is too long. 6 - The DH in baseball needs to be done away with. 7 - The government needs to stay out of sports because they mess up everything they get involved in.
