It's tough to win week in and week out in every conference. That's why there are 2 undefeated teams right now, and probably won't be any to finish the season. It must be harder to win week in and week out in the SEC though, since they have all the fastest players in the country.

Alabama sucks ass, and Auburn is turning into a peekaboo team. They peek out and beat someone they shouldn't, then go back in their hole for 2 weeks.

Nevertheless,

THIS will not go over well in Tuscaloosa.

Unless you think that Zook is a tactical genius, his recruiting of certain kids may have made the turn-around difference at Illinois. I'm biased, but I think the SEC is loaded with more athletic talent top to bottom than most other conferences I've watched - lots of those types kids.

I've already opined about the parity of the top spots in most all conferences, and why the Big-10 is similar to the SEC in the marquee programs.
