SEC's myth trumps its reality, Stoops says

[FakeNews]

Skip Bayless was on twitter talking about how Vandy is better than OU. The SEC is the best conference, but c'mon thats a little too much

I grew up an Okla football nut, went to Vandy. Never imagined saying this but my Commodores are on the way to being better than my Sooners.

he's buying into the James Franklin hype, but OU would/should run Vandy off the field 9/10 times, maybe all 10 times.

Vandy is on the right path, but they're not anywhere close to someone like OU.

Auburn's college football history is JOKEY SMURF you weak ass nikka


fukk them trees im glad theyre dead and i hope they enjoyed rotting from the inside

You got two teams in auburn and michigan that have been really similar on the field. Biggest difference is you have one living off of past glory and one trying to get respect. Over the past 20 years the records are 172-77 .691 win percentage and the other 167-79-1 .678 win percentage. I dont think one can criticize the other, both has 1 natl championship 1 heisman winner each one undefeated season for one team and 3 for the other in that timeframe soooo ... I started to go back only 10 or 15 years but that would have skewed it too far in auburns favor.

@JKFrazier @MMSex @Peter Vecsey y'all forgot the fellow alum here brehs?

got nothing but respect for auburn and Malzahn, who i have thought was a genius for a long time now...his ability to impact college football so greatly when he is about 6 years removed from HS coaching, is crazy. He made Chizik, not the other way around.

Im also happy to see that they are installing a 4-2-5 defensively to combat Bamas 3-4. Meaning that the slim, quick defensive ends and LBs who are unable to fit in Saban's system, are right there for the taking with Auburn.

The fact that Malzahn recognizes its best not to fight Saban for his type recuits, but instead go after the type of elite recruits that dont fit in Bama's offensive and defensive systems. Its pretty damn smart.

I agree completely with that. Because if not for gus, chizik woulda been exposed sooner. I think gus will have a solid defense and a good offense and recruiting should be pretty good especially since like you said, they don't have to necessarily compete with bama for players. Auburn even recruited well under chizik but his issue was, he brought in players that couldnt stay in school and had no discipline, and the only reason Cam even got recruited was because of gus.

Bob Stoops takes shot at SEC defenses

Stoops noted that now there were a few good QBs in SEC, their vaunted defenses were struggling. In an interview where Oklahoma Sooners head football coach Bob Stoops was asked about the state of the Big 12, he took the opportunity to take a shot at the SEC.

“A few years ago we [the Big 12] had all the quarterbacks and now all of a sudden we can play a little better defense and some other people can’t play defense,” said Stoops. “Funny how people can’t play defense when there’s pro-style quarterbacks over there.”

The quote is a little vague, but he seemed to be implying that, now that there were a few good quarterbacks in the SEC, the conference’s vaunted defenses seemed to be struggling.

Any doubts that Stoops might not have been talking about the SEC were clarified a moment later, when a reporter brought up that the SEC now had two quarterbacks ranked in the top ten in efficiency.

“How’s that happening playing all those SEC defenses?” Stoops asked the reporters. “I still don’t know how A&M was third in the country in total offense and scoring offense playing all those SEC defenses. I have no idea how that happened.

“Oh, they’ve got a quarterback, that’s right.”

Shots fired!

Stoops has gone on record about his problems with the public perception of the SEC being the best conference in college football, but those quotes were always prompted by questions about the SEC. This came out of nowhere — the initial question simply asked him what he thought about the current state of the Big 12.

 

[malbaker86]

Yea I read that yesterday. Funny he says that while negating that it's more due to attrition as well when it comes the defenses of LSU and UGA. A&M never had a defense and Bama's D has been "so so"

[Swagnificent]

maybe Stoops should worry about his own team winning its own conference rather than the SEC

this nikka must be salty as fukk at top recruits turning him down cause they wanna play in the SEC

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Name a better conference top to bottom. We'll wait.....

PAC-12

I still stand by this
