Its really great to see an objective fan from an SEC team. I guess you can't stop ESPN even when they are praising you. They made me sick with their praise leading up the the NC game but I couldn't stop it. |

Bingo. The "SEC / Southern Speed" mantra has been around for as long as I can remember. It's just that January made it an irrefutable fact as far as the talking heads are concerned. Which makes it even more ridiculous because speed had little to nothing to do with that loss.
Of course meatchickens' meltdown to start the year only amplified it even moreso -- but they really do have some speed issues.

"GeauxTigers99"
Yet another example of SEC speed. Their fans type so fast that they have to spell 'Go' with five letters instead of two. Just so it'll take them the same amount of time to type as everyone else.

Southern Speed
SEC Rules
blah blah blah
Bleaux me and Chomp on my ass.
The SEC wins one game of any relevance last year, and now they should be annointed to the title game every year by default. [censored] em.

You and I agree that it was just one game. But I think that they would want to count LSU over Notre Dame as another game of relevance. Capitol One Bowl? Outback Bowl? Did those games take place?

With options 1 & 2 gone, I guess the SEC HAS stepped in and filled the role of media darlings this year. I haven't really noticed it until reading this thread, but they do seem to be hyping the SEC more than usual. Probably started around the end of the MNC game last year.
As far as the Big Ten vs SEC, or SEC vs Any BCS Conference debate goes....
My take is that the top teams from any of the major conferences would have a hard time beating each other. Everyone at that level has speed, you have to have it in order to be able to compete at that level. It's just been portrayed as SEC speed b/c of the meltdown OSU had in the MNC last year. A bad game that was magnified b/c of the national stage it was on. Play that game 10 times and I don't think Florida wins by that kind of a point margin (or even remotely close) again. Of course this is just my opinion. What do I know? I'm an SEC fan. =) |
The difference between you and the SEC fans we have issues with, is that you don't have blinders on. You can actually see weaknesses and strengths in all the teams regardless of conference.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that LSU would get demolished against The Cowboys, Redskins, Giants, and Eagles.  |
