What exactly is this "myth" you're trying to dispel? The fact is that the SEC has been head and shoulders above all other conferences. There's nothing you can say to change that.

That 2 average team from a conference no better than the big 10 came in having Hugh success but somehow OSU would be bottom feeders :yeshrug:

and where did you see someone saying they'd be bottom feeders? You're arguing with no one. Real heads know that OSU would be tough in any conference, just not undefeated for 2 seasons straight.

The SEC as a whole isn't head and shoulders above any conference, they are a top heavy conference and all the average to below average teams are given the benefit of the doubt because of it.

A&M was never on such a national stage as they are now when they resided in the Big 12. They had success in year 1 including beating Bama. They were merely an average team in the Big 12 like they are an average team in the SEC(in year 2) yet they are all over the place like they have accomplished something. And all they are going to have to show for the past 2 years is a Cotton Bowl win. This is an example of a team getting the benefit of the doubt just because they are in the SEC

Missouri was never really a threat to win the Big 12 but in year 2 in the SEC, still playing with Big 12 players they are threat to win the conference all together. It's asinine to think top teams from other conference could not come into the SEC and contend for the SEC title.

I don't recall you bums winning the sorry ass big 12... Maybe wrong, but no chips come to mind

:umad: we came in and started running shyt? nikka, shut up.

Timing is a funny thing. Missouri fans have found themselves thinking about that a lot over the last nine months. Speaking in hypotheticals, it wasn't difficult for fans to believe that their Tigers would be able to pretty quickly hold their own in the SEC East. After all, under Gary Pinkel Mizzou had played at a Top 30 level, according to the F/+ rankings, for five of six years heading into 2012. In 2007 and 2008, Missouri teams that ranked ninth and 14th respectively in F/+ would have each been the No. 2 team in the SEC East. Hell, in 2010, No. 13 Missouri would have been the highest-ranked SEC East team. And even in 2011, the No. 22 Tigers would have still been a respectable third.

Stop it. A&M would've been very good in any conference. They have a once in a lifetime QB. This talk about them crushing buildings is bullshyt too.. Their only notable win was that ONE against Bama.

Also, you're talking about Missouri only this year. Where was this argument last year about Mizzou? Fact is that they've been recruiting as an SEC team for 2 years now. That makes a difference. Are you guys gonna talk about this next year and the year after that as if they're somehow some Big 12 team in a new conference?

You can call it top heavy if you want to - the problem with that argument is that it's been top heavy and it's rotated between LSU, Florida, Auburn, and Bama.. that's a good number of teams on top :manny:

A&M had a better team prior to their SEC arrival. They would have probably loss 4-5 Big 12 games with that swiss cheese of a defense they had year 1 in the SEC. The SEC offenses just didn't have the aptitude to take advantage of it. A number of Big 12 teams would have frankly outscored them and would have had enough speed on defense to throttle Manziel. In year 2 they fielded even a worse defense and SEC teams were finally able to take advantage of such. Bama would have beat them easily in year 1 if they opened the offense up and tossed the ball around.

Yea Missouri sucked in the conference last year, but this year is just ONE year away from that, and they are contending to be on top of the SEC. The majority of their contributing players were recruited to play in the big 12. And stop with the bullshyt on recruiting. They didn't magically start getting 4 and 5 star recruits once it was announced they were going to the SEC nor did they stop recruiting for the spread offense they run.

What cannot be understated however is it appears there is a cultural change happening in the SEC. The ground and pound defensive slugfest are started to be come few and far in between. Instead we are seeing shootouts and games basically ending on who has the ball last. You know shyt y'all used to discredit the Big 12 for.

And 4 out of 14 teams is hardly parity.

missouri benefitted from injuries to georgia, florida, and south carolina, they get props, for playing without franklin for a few months, besides him what were their other big injuries?

florida lost their starting QB for the year in week 3, then their best defensive player the following week in practice, then starting RB soon after. Florida has had season ending injuries to multiple starters on both sides of the ball, along with georgia.

A&M had that big win vs bama but besides that they lost to florida, LSU twice, and other squads as well.
