Nebraska in 2001, perhaps?

Yes, it would have been ideal for us to win the SEC, but that wasn't in the cards for us this year. Perhaps we should leave the SEC, so we can play in an easier conference, where we are guaranteed a conference championship every year, so we can play for the national championship? :rolleyes:

Nah, to be the best, you have to play the best, week in and week out. Plus, I'd miss all of the rivalry fun! :)

SEC is the best?

What OOC games has the SEC won to prove this?

Cluey 11-28-2007 03:43 PM

I didn't mean best as a qualifier. It's a cliche that everyone uses. Hell, I bet even Notre Dame uses it and it's clear that they aren't the best... ;)

But, I do think top to bottom, that the SEC is probably the most competitive conference in the nation. People can point at us and laugh because UK beat LSU, but I believe that just speaks to the fact that on any given Saturday any team in our conference can beat any other team.

A thousand times YESSSS!!! I love SEC Football.

Thanks for the answer. I just started appreciating NCAA football about 3 years ago, so I wouldn't have had a clue.

The answer? As in "Nebraska in 2001?" Nebraska was not the National Champion in '01.

Are you looking for just this season? I started thinking and thinking, and the first that came to mind was when Tennessee whooped all over Cal in '06. I was in the gym screaming like a maniac from the elliptical watching that game.

Oops! Sorry, I thought you meant played in the national championship, since you mentioned that UGA had no business even thinking of playing in the game since they won't have won the SEC Championship. It has happened in the past and given our topsy-turvy college football world this year, nothing should shock anyone anymore.

I think the last non-conference champion who won at least a share of the national championship was UT in 1950. I could be wrong, as I am not a UT fanatic. If you know, please enlighten me! :)

Not all of the SEC play fluff OOC games. That's one thing UGA has been working on the last few years. Last year, UGA played Boise State and Colorado. This year, UGA beat OK State and Troy. Next year, we pick up Arizona State University. Of course, we always play GA Tech every year, too.

Sure it is.

Does stuck up mean arrogant in the South?

The SEC is easily the most talented and difficult football conference in the NCAA. I have no problem agreeing with that. I don't really even see how it's debatable.

So what teams are going to which bowls?

So much is up in the air until after this weekend.

^^^ I think I love this guy.

Cluey 11-29-2007 06:00 PM

For some reason, I think a "Well, bless his little heart" comment is needed. Y'all sure are precious ;)
