 Well, I shouldn't have said they are overrated. I do believe however that this is a down year for them. Why? Too many good teams (as usual), but no great teams. Everyone will simply just beat up on each other (the way how every other conference beats up on each other). I guess the one team that I do believe that is overrated is Tennessee. I think Florida is the best team in the conference but they are punished since they are the only team in the conference with balls in facing a pretty tough non conference schedule (miami and fsu). All other SEC teams usually schedule pancakes (at home) and it is very rare to see them return the favor in a home and home game.
While my alliance is with the Pac 10.
My next question for all of you. Who do you think the best conference is?
I think top to bottom it is the Big 10. However, the ACC's top four I would put up against anyone.

Of course IMO the SEC is the best conference!!! Every year someone says "the SEC is down this year." I hate when people say that, I mean spare me, check out the polls. More SEC teams are "year after year" ranked high in the polls. And, we don't have to play "ranked" teams outside of the conference when we are playing ranked teams within the conference.
That is all - please don't test me I don't know all of the statistics for the past 75 years or anything. I just hate when people say that. I am a bama fan, but AU got robbed last year with out a chance to play for the championship, because "the SEC was down last year.". (I don't know if they would have won or not but they played and beat more ranked teams then USC)
Edited to add this weeks stats

I am scared to hit that submit button cause I know I can't back up my opinion with memorized statistics so I am hoping some more SEC fans will bail me out of this post.
