talking about any season(s) or year(s) in which people claim the SEC is overrated in being named the best conference in the country but they really aren't... If people said "unc only wins because the rest of the ACC is crap, they will be exposed in the NC game and if they are that will prove that the ACC is crap" then you would all be defending them (and already did in the UK argument)

The SEC was the best conference in the country this year

It's still overrated, though

^ well hell, I might not even disagree with that

I just have a problem with people who say "The SEC is the best conference every year, always has been and always will be! "

MOST ACC fans admit that we aren't ALWAYS the best conference, sometimes it's the Big East (never the Big 10 though).

DAMN IT

Thought I clicked on football, nevermind

Looks like the bowls did put the SEC on top in football, the ACC was #1 a couple weeks back.

i attribute that too to the 6 weeks off each team had since last playing football and being in football shape...they weren't cramping up like that in their conference title games
