I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was best to just make blanket statements about a program/university. Maybe if I lived in the South, I would understand. Here, let me try it your way:

SEC Suckks! Bama, you got killed by tha utes! Bulldogs, how you like yo’ preseason number 1 ranking now! Yeah!

Hmmm…

I didn’t enjoy that. See, I like to visit media sites dedicated to covering regions for other conferences to get some new information and perhaps have an open discussion of what’s happening now in college football. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of these sites attract a very simple-minded (although passionate) kind of fan.

On the other hand, it’s not even fair for me to say that. There have been a number of very smart, well-articulated comments on this story. I guess it’s just hard to notice them with all of the screaming, slobbering superfans drowning them out.

What if, instead of just railing against all things non-SEC, you welcomed a discussion with fans from other conferences? What if we could all just explore our thoughts on what we can expect from this coming year. For instance, I know all there is to know about USC’s depth chart, spring practice performances, likely future starters and stars, etc…

I don’t know these things in such detail about SEC teams. But I’d love to learn more. And by learn more, I’m not talking about hearing how the Pac-10 is weak, how USC sucks or any of that. First of all, it’s not based in any kind of reality. Secondly, I’d much rather hear about why you’re excited about this coming year for your teams. Who are the under-the-radar players who will become well-known by season’s end? Who are you most excited to see take the field? Which games in particular do you have circled on your calendars?

That’s very profound, billy. I like the way you supported your position with evidence.

Bowdown—GA played a Pac 10 team and completely destroyed them on their home turf last year. ASU fans remember. It should have been worse without the terrible referees. USC is definitely a top tier program. They could compete and win in the SEC. The problem is their schedule is weak. You can’t point out 6 tough games like you can on UGA schedule. Compare GA Schedule
Oklahoma State
South Carolina
Arkansas
Arizona State
LSU
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Florida
Tennessee Tech
Auburn
Kentucky
Georgia Tech

vs USC schedule
San Jose St
Ohio State
Washington
Wash. St
California
Notre Dame
Oregon State
Oregon
Arizona State
Stanford
UCLA
Arizona

Not a USC fan but I respect them as a Pac-10 fan and an intelligent person. Always amazed at the simpletons in the SEC, you guys can’t ever seem to get your facts or your logic straight which says volumes about an SEC “education”. The SEC is seriously overrated. Alabama last year was a JOKE. PAC-10 went 5-0 in bowls, plays anyone, anywhere and the SEC still can’t figure out a map to get out of the South. lol
