Jax St takes the lead 20-13 with 5 and change left. Hey Ed, did you grab a piece of the ML? LOL
I'm speechless. It's not that they're just winning, on the road, against a team many picked to make the playoffs, but that they're thoroughly dominating Auburn on both sides of the ball.
Is the SEC the best? Yes. Is it as wide a margin as SEC fans would want you to believe? Not even close.
The gap between the SEC and the rest isn't huge, but there's no doubt they're still top dog when it comes to college football. Seven of the past ten, and ten of the past twenty champions have come from the SEC, and every week they consistently have more teams ranked than any other conference

Hey Kane just saw your message across the way, haven't been there in months. Yes the SEC is still best top to bottom but to have 10 teams ranked is ridiculous. The perception is that most of the teams in the SEC are all strong teams that could win any other conference and that simply is not true.

Thanks, I don't visit that place too often either. I agree having ten teams ranked seems a bit much, and I highly doubt there will be that many as the season progresses
Anytime you're discussing how good a conference is-- you have to start at the bottom. How good are the also-rans in a given conference? I hear people saying the Big 10 is the best because OSU won the championship. That's bull. Over the last few years the Big 10 has been awful, with some pretty bad bottom feeders. The SEC? The West is loaded. The East looks mediocre. Of course, let's come back and discuss this at the end of October-- things have a way of shaking themselves out.
The problem with the sec this year is at qb. There are really no qb's that just stand out this year. Speaking of Auburn, Jeremy Johnson and I know it is just a 2 games but he has looked awful. Joshua Dobbs who was supposed to be the savior at Tennessee looked mediocre against OU. I have been impressed with Chad Kelly but of course let's see how he does against Bama.

You make a good point regarding the SEC QB's. Just to add to what you said, UGA, LSU, S Carolina, Fla, and I'm sure there are others, but the QB play this year does seem down a couple of notches. Patrick Towles from KY might be the best QB in the East. In the West, you mentioned Chad Kelly (he's got some great bloodlines) and Dak Prescott, and there's a kid for A&M who's name escapes me who's pretty good, but no stand outs like you usually see, at least not yet

Seems to be the same problem every year. Who's the last SEC quarterback not named Manning to make an impact in the NFL?

Auburn gets lucky, Arkansas doesn't. Tell us again how great the SEC is Kane.
Name a better football conference
The MAC.

I'd agree it's overall the top conference but it's nowhere near 10 teams ranked the best. That's absurd.

I think this is a fair statement
