SEC's myth trumps its reality, Stoops says

[jadillac]

SEC Texas A&M style wasn't Big 12 Texas A&M style.

The biggest misconception. New coach, a whole different style of offense. If A&M stays in the Big 12 they would have went undefeated last year.

It was still a similar offense to whats run in the Big 12 except they finally had a supremely mobile QB. What they ran isn't too far off what they ran under Tannehill, except Manziel is a better runner.

And yeah, they would've been the best team in the Big 12 and they also would've run the SAME offense ie a Big 12 style of offense.

Come on bruh. OU is perennially one of the top, if not the top program in the Big 12. Comparing OU to those teams, especially considering most of them are usually bottom feeders, and AU, Tenn, UK, and Ark all are in rebuild mode is kind of ridiculous.

I really don't see how this bolsters your argument that the Big 12, or any other conference, is on the SEC's level right now.

I havent stated this or even alluded to this anywhere, nor is this even implied.

 

[Skilltastrophy]

some people lack logic

SEC is clearly the best conference and there's no real argument against it

I'm a Mizzou fan...we won 8-10 games very consistently for the last 7-8 years in the Big 12...first year in the SEC we went 5-7...so for some Big 12 dude to come tell me that the Big 12 is harder or on par is some of the dumbest shyt I've ever heard

Texas A&M had outlandish success because of an outlandishly good young quarterback and a brand new coach who weren't part of A&M when they were in the Big 12

like I get why other conferences get mad...the conference on top will always be perceived as overrated or overvalued due to excessive coverage and constant talking points on national shows

but as much as people hate...the fact remains the SEC is the best conference in the country at the moment...will it ALWAYS be this way?...of course not...has it ALWAYS been this way? no...but RIGHT NOW and for the last 5-10 years it has been the case...and to argue against that is to be argue against logic.

stoops said what stoops had to say...he's a Big 12 coach...he'd sound like a loser if he was going "oh the SEC is the best and they're so tough I don't think we can beat them"...that would've been stupid...but if you were just talking to him and he was being real and not being on record I guarantee you he'd tell you the real and let you know the SEC is the best.

Even though Oklahoma, Ohio st and Michigan are an embarrassment to college football and probably are the sole reason the sec is hyped the way it is, this bum has a point. There is no "dominating conference" in college football fact Alabama,LSU and Florida are the only teams in that conference who have done anything the rest nada unfortunately 3 teams don't make a conference the rest have not done 1 thing in college football

the problem with this logic is...what other conference has three seperate teams with national titles in the last decade?

no other conference has more than one team with a title in the past decade

many conferences have 0 titles in the last decade

so what does "dominating conference" mean?...of course there's no conference with every team finishing with 10 wins...the math doesn't work they have to play each other...I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here

Four teams breh. Four.

Auburn the only one with 2 undefeated teams in the SEC in the past 10 years as far as I know.

SEC actually has 4 teams with titles in the last 10 (Alabama, Florida, LSU, Auburn). What you might have meant is that SEC has had 3 teams win 2 or more national titles in the last 10 years (LSU '03 '07, Bama '09 '11 '12, and Florida '07 '09). Only one other conference has won 2 national titles since the BCS started let alone having teams with 2 or more national titles.


Since the BCS started in 1999, SEC has won 9 of a possible 15 national titles (60%).


The SEC has a 9-1 record in national title games (only loss was LSU in 2011 to another SEC school Alabama).


5 different SEC schools have won the BCS national title (Tennessee '99, LSU '03 '07, Florida '07 '09, Bama '09 '11 '12, and Auburn '10).


what was that about being overrated again

I thought Sherm ran a west coast type of offense. I might be mistaken.

5 DIFFERENT SEC teams have won National Titles in the last 15 years (since the BCS was installed). Think about that for a second. No other conference has more than 2 different national champions. Let alone FIVE!!!

The SEC isn't just a conference with 3 good teams. They have 6-7 teams that can contend for a national title EVERY YEAR. Teams like Arkansas and Auburn that are down right now were top 5 teams nationally just two years ago. Teams like Ole Miss and South Carolina that were bottom feeders 5 years ago are now considered contenders.

Alabama, Georgia, LSU, A&M, Florida, South Carolina --- thats 6 teams that finished the year in the top 10 and will start next year in the top 10. No other conference even comes close.

Stop hating and bow down nikkas. SEC is beyond college football. We're a minor league division for NFL now.

Texas A&M lost to LSU in the middle of season. TBH, A&M benefited playing Bama right after LSU/Bama.

Texas A&M's kicker left 6 points on the field, which made the difference between a win/loss vs LSU. I have friends that go to A&M and the kicking game is their biggest concern for next year. He missed numerous PATs as well as FGs throughout the season. Hell, he even missed a PAT in their spring scrimmage. It could be the deciding factor in their big games next season.

Man, We were coming off a war against LSU at their place that was won in the last seconds.

The next week we played A&M and they jumped up 21-0 on us.

We came back and had a 4th & goal chance to win the game.

We would have beat the shyt out of A&M if they didn't catch us at the right time.

A&M didn't have a bye all season and came back hard after an almost-loss to Old Miss. It doesn't matter now, but what I see in this video is Lacy's touchdown in the 2nd Q didn't cross the goal line. (at about 1:42-1:44)


Screencaps of when Lacy was down. He had the ball tucked and you can see the entire line:

If the ref had seen it at a better angle, the score might have even been more definitive. It was a solid win, no matter how you parse it out.

@ nikkas talkin bout we can beat Vanderbilt

ya'll nikkas should worry about our top 7 teams rather than the bottom 7

our top 7 are top 10 in the country

 

[sweetthoughts]

I think the SEC is the strongest conference. IMO the SECs 4 worst teams are better than any other conferences four worst teams.
