Why the SEC is the greatest - cue the hysterical laughter

[Justin Tyme]

Exactly. Damn newbies need to know their place in the pecking order and bide their time. Not sure about the new guys at Arkie and Mizzou, but we all know Kiffie boy and the pirate ain't gonna shut up.

Yeah, those two should be fun.

In the case of Alabama's crossovers I don't know exactly what the SEC was supposed to do. They already had UGA and Tennessee as crossovers, and they added Missouri and Kentucky. Other than giving them Florida too what exactly were they supposed to do to make Alabama's schedule harder? It could have been a much easier schedule by giving them Vandy and South Carolina.

They gave Alabama and LSU cupcakes like usual.

The only choices left were Florida, SC, Missouri, Vandy and Kentucky, since we are already playing Georgia and Tennessee, it's not our fault that SEC Least is all creampuffs. Saban is 35-3 vs the SEC Least and hasn't lost one since 2010, including 4 straight wins over FL and GA.

Wow, hard to believe the last time Bama lost to the East was in 2010. I do remember that game tho.... it was awesome! :-P

I don't seem to recall using awesome to describe that game for some reason.

Florida is LSU's crossover opponent every year, how are they considered cupcakes like usual ?

Look at Tennessee. We have Alabama every year and they added Auburn and Texas A&M as our two new games. Alabama got Missouri and LSU got Vandy... very fair.

You are comparing who a West team added to who an East team added. Not the same thing. The West is better and deeper.

It's tough that Tennessee plays Alabama every year. However, Tennessee does not play LSU, Auburn or Texas A&M every year. Adding Auburn and A&M this year is tough, but Alabama and LSU play them both every year along with playing each other every year.

Meanwhile, Tennessee plays Vandy, South Carolina, Mizzou and Kentucky EVERY YEAR + the worst West Team (Arkansas) this year. To be fair, Alabama does not play the two worst SEC East Teams (Vandy or South Carolina) this year.

However, Alabama is playing 4 of the top 5 East teams from last year (Georgia, @ Tennessee, Kentucky and @ Mizzou). Not Alabama's fault, the East sucks.

So, Alabama misses Florida (which they have beaten 6 times in a row since 2009), but fail to mention that Tennessee misses LSU.

Tennessee just needs to put on their big boy pants and Play like a Champion like they once did.

You know with Phatty Fulmer in the house, they definitely have some big 'ol garbage truck worker pants around Knoxville.

If you look at Tennessee's SEC West opponents, they have Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M and Arkansas. Arkansas is the only unranked team of the bunch. They could have provided Tennessee with a Mississippi team.

what are you guys talking about? I always heard ALL the teams in the SEC are amazing and would win any other conference every year with their second stringers.

Certainly that would be hyperbole, but the SEC Least has as many wins over ranked OOC opponents last year as the entire Pac-12 does in the last 4 years combined...just sayin.

You have the SEC.

Then you have everyone else.
