STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Billy Donovan sounded a lot like Urban Meyer.

 

Donovan, the Florida basketball coach, was preaching the gospel about the superiority of the Southeastern Conference. The speech was much the same as Meyer`s when he lobbied last fall for the Gators to have a place in the BCS title game against Ohio State.

 

Meyer`s team got to the big game and won the national title. Donovan won his title last season and his Gators are No. 1 again.

 

But the rest of the league? The SEC has only three ranked teams. Yet Donovan said it`s time the nation shows the SEC some respect as a basketball conference.

 

The league is "by far" the best, he said. "And it clearly does not get enough respect."

 

 

For Donovan, SEC is Some Exceptional Conference

Wrong time to yammer on when the West is so bad.

 

Honestly, it reminds me of the Big XII in football a few years back. One half the league was a super conference, the other half was just a drag.

Without a doubt the SEC and Pac 10 are the two best.

 

Donovan is getting respect no doubt for his program...they are #1.

pretty bold statement considering the conference is dominated by 1 team

Yeah by the CATS

I guess Billy borrowed Urban's "no respect" card.

I think the SEC East is the best 6 team collection in the country at the moment; Saying the entire conference is "by far" the best is clearly reaching.

...Where's the punch line? :lol:

I think the SEC East is the best 8 team collection in the country at the moment; "By far" the best is clearly reaching.

When did the East add 2 teams???
