I don't buy the hype about the SEC. Bama indeed looks like the best team in the country but who have they really played? western kentucky, florida atlantic, Arkansas and ol miss. They beat Michigan which on paper was supposed to be a good team but team turned around and only beat Air Force by six and got beat by Notre Dame. Look at LSU's first five wins. North Texas Idaho and Towson were 3 of them with Washington and Auburn being the real competition. Auburn sucks so loud their only win has come against ULM. Mississippi State if 5 and 0 and ranked in the top 25. 3 of their wins are Jackson State, Troy and South Alabama with there 2 "quality' wins coming against Auburn and the equally el sucko maximous kentucky. But the decent teams in the SEC get credit for beating all these high ranked teams which inflates their own standings in the polls. I aint saying they aren't good or the best. They just aren't some super conference that is so far superior that their winner automatically deserves to be in the big show.
If you look at who they've played and the outcome of the games I'd be betting on South Carolina as the best in the SEC.
Every division plays "whipping boy" teams the first four or five games before they start playing in their own division. Look at Texas' opponents in the Big 12. Texas wouldn't even be ranked where they are if the ref would've watched where the ball was on that last touchdown drive against Oklahoma State.
Needless to say, I'm an Aggie fan. A&M's smartest move was to the SEC to get out of Texas' shadow. They're supposed to be the "whipping boy" of the SEC, but with the numbers Manziel is putting up, they may do better than expected. LSU isn't the powerhouse this year like they were the last three/four years. Lost to Florida last week, and will have to make a dominant run in the rest of their schedule to even have another shot at the Championship. This week's game against South Carolina will be the defining point of their season.
