January 1, 200719 yr We know #3 vs #3 and will know #1 vs #1 soon enough... #2 vs/ #2 would have been another good one.
January 1, 200719 yr Rather, I think many like me questioned how good they were because it was never proven as a result of their schedule. Did they actually prove that they were a top tier team during the regular season? The SEC doesn't answer your above either...they play SOFT OOC schedules than claim superiority in beating each other up....
January 1, 200719 yr Author #2 vs/ #2 would have been another good one. Depending on which Jamarcus Russell showed up. With UC and the Bengals on Saturday and Sunday, I'm not sure Michigan could beat UK today. They are doomed... :lol:
January 1, 200719 yr The SEC doesn't answer your above either...they play SOFT OOC schedules than claim superiority in beating each other up.... That would be the opposing view. However, sticking to these two teams since they're the two that played, its obvious who went out and challenged themselves this season. I think many in the country will now give the Badgers more love based off of today's outcome.
January 1, 200719 yr We know #3 vs #3 and will know #1 vs #1 soon enough... Not really...SEC top 3: 1. LSU 2. Florida 3. Auburn...put LSU against UM and Florida against Wisconsin and Auburn could be playing OSU for the sweep...all speculation of who is best in each conference and what the matchups are...
January 1, 200719 yr The SEC doesn't answer your above either...they play SOFT OOC schedules than claim superiority in beating each other up.... I understand your point, but honestly, it's not just the SEC claiming superiority, just about every analyst I've heard has claimed the same.

January 1, 200719 yr Author I understand your point, but honestly, it's not just the SEC claiming superiority, just about every analyst I've heard has claimed the same. Top to bottom the SEC was the best this year. No argument there. Several on here also deserve a plate of crow for what they had to say about the Big 11 a month ago...
January 1, 200719 yr I'll fess up, I didn't think the Badgers were that good. Arkansas got zero QB play and didn't take advantage of their first offensive possession. And capped it with a missed 30 yard field goal. On one decent pass, the Hogs receiver dropped the ball which could have turned into a big gainer, in the 4th quarter. They outgained the Badgers, but when you have 12 penalties, and one negated a turnover, it is tough to overcome. Give the Badgers credit.
January 1, 200719 yr Author Deep. So it was a fluke? Or it didn't fit your argument? Arkansas was the 3rd best team in the SEC based on regular season performance. And they played the #3 team in the Big 11. And lost. Not really a need to go much deeper...
January 1, 200719 yr I'll fess up, I didn't think the Badgers were that good. Same here.....great win.
January 1, 200719 yr Top to bottom the SEC was the best this year. No argument there. Several on here also deserve a plate of crow for what they had to say about the Big 11 a month ago... That's been my thought all along. Not as strong as usual at the top, but the balance of the conference is much stronger.
January 1, 200719 yr Author That's been my thought all along. Not as strong as usual at the top, but the balance of the conference is much stronger. It almost seemed to flip flop for the Big 11 and SEC this year. Quality from top to bottom was much weaker than normal in the Big 11, but very strong at the top. The SEC is more often than not top heavy, but this year it was top to bottom...
