Here we are now looking at the top 3 being SEC teams. To me, the Bama LSU game was by far the perfect example of how hard it is to beat the madd hatter! Bama was the supperior team but the breaks fell LSU's way like they normally do. Blame it on swamp voodoo, madams of New Orleans, Cajun luck, Troy Gentry having a good gator season, or what ever you like, LSU always seems to find unconventional ways to win. IMO the SEC as a whole is a monster Conference. If you take Kentucky as weak as they are and place them in the Big East then they are Conf Champs year in and year out. You can put UF as weak as they are this year in any other conference and they win it no problem. UGA isnt no slouch either. Vandy who is usually the conference punching bag is a couple of bad breaks away from a winning SEC record. Ole Miss and Miss St could be very competitive in the Big 12. Arkansas with Bobby Partrino at the helm is making waves. Look at the out of conference record of the SEC and its atleast 70% wins if not more. Either way its gonna be 6 in a row for the SEC with the first time, yes the first time, in BCS history that any conference held all top three spots! To me that speaks monuments about the level of talent the south has to offer in football. Most SEC schools in state recruit or atleast boarderstate recruit with the exception of a two or three.
Which brings me to this point. All the talk about the SEC east being weak and all the Conference rearranging isnt it only fair to consider Virginia Tech as a very capable SEC east team? Think about the money revenue that would come from it. UT/VT games every year would be a bigger rivalry than the Michigan/Ohio St game! Tech could be very competitive in the East with USC,UGA, UF being the dominate teams in the east as of late. Virginia needs a team in the SEC seeing how many fans from here are SEC fans to begin with. What do yall think?
