FTR Missouri was starting to peak with some very solid seasons toward the end of its Big 12 era, and A&M started out top 10 (maybe top 5) in its last season with the Big 12 and caught a lot of close losses (including one to Arkansas), before adding the Heisman trophy winner.
-Auburn, a team that finished 0-8 in the SEC in 2012, was strong enough to take a 21-3 lead into the waning moments of the National Championship first half before Florida State pulled a fake punt and later needed a kickoff return.
-South Carolina crushed Clemson (the same Clemson who beat Ohio State) and also beat Wisconsin in their bowl.
-The mediocre LSU beat Iowa, while the mighty Gophers from Minnesota lost to the lowly Orange from Syracuse.
-It took 5 turnovers, 2 unforced, for Oklahoma to upset Alabama.
The SEC is strong fellas. Just gotta live with it. Doesn't mean teams from other conferences can't be good as well- as FSU proved tonight.
I told myself last night that I was going to respond but I just can't help it.
LOL if you think Duke was really the #2 team in the ACC just because they made the ACC Championship Game.
As for the rest never thought I'd see an ND fan be an SEC dick lover as well. Pretty funny seeing you try and justify that conference and those teams by saying "O well this SEC team beat that team who also beat that team" or well this team needed this, this, and this just to beat the SEC team!
I guess when ND has 1 relevant season in the last 20 years you gotta hop on someones bandwagon.
