SECond to none, except for the Big 12

Yep. SEC is having a down year. The defense of the SEC's best team surrendered 630 yards on Saturday. Reckon what Oregon or Baylor could do to them?

 

It would be rich if Missouri were to win in Atlanta. And no SEC team make the playoff.

I'm an SEC fan minus bama - If Mizzu beating bama means no SEC team in the first ever playoff - so be it!

Old Timer, you could copy/paste your sentence and switch it to sec back in '06.

What a great thread. When Texas turns it around, all you will see is taillights. Roflmao!

You are likely right baddog - but I thought we were talking more recent ratings than 9 years ago  ;)

 

There is no doubt that strength of conference changes every year - but since 2006 the SEC as been by far the strongest conference - will they be knocked off - yes - when is the question.

 

Last week the SEC took a butt kicking or they would still be the best league this year.

Mizzou has already made as many conference championship games in 3 yrs in the SEC, as they did in 15 yrs of play in the Big 12.

Tigers saying SEC pretty easy.

The only thing I think that says is.... the Big 12 was more evenly divided in the north and south than the SEC is in the east and west.

Yep, you need to try and avoid those butt kickings, but hey, they were close except for one, so you can still have a cigar on that piece of info.

What could be more recent than now? Now, the Big XII is on top and even without Texas leading the way. It can only get better. Did you just reference 2006? I thought that was too far back. Lol

Sports is cyclical just like practically everything else.

Truthfully, while I will still root for the SEC to lead the pack - it does not bother me a bit to have the Big 12 talked about as a top conference as those are to a large degree teams from my backyard  :)

 

Also, I also be one that will also enjoy it when Texas does "turn it around" as then I do believe the pressure for an annual game between Texas and A&M will heat up - While most people think that it is A&M that is not wanting to play that game I find it interesting that during Texas "down time" they have not really pushed a game between the two rivals.  I think they need to play every year and let the chips fall where they may.

    • No worries. My thing is this. Trump was badly flawed. We knew it going into 2016. As an incumbent, there really wasn’t much of a chance to nominate a different candidate in 2020. But after all that happened during Trump’s term, the election loss and fiasco that followed, and everything else that he’s been a part of since… we should have chosen a different nominee in 2024. That’s been my point all along, but that’s not what we did. His followers are very vocal and infect all levels of the Republican Party leadership-especially in local counties and precincts. Enough people decided that Trump is the only person who should be considered to be the eventual R candidate that he cruised to the nomination in spite of everything, purely based on the cult of personality, IMO.  All of the signs were there. Trump is in a dead heat with Biden and has been all along, while every other potential R candidate enjoyed double digit leads over Biden. Literally all we had to do is pick someone over Trump and they’d cruise to a win over Biden-but we’d rather lose with Trump than win with someone else.    Names like Gary Hart and John Edwards come to mind. Those guys were Dems with a small fraction of Trump’s baggage, but the party still dumped them and moved on… I can’t understand why the Rs have refused to self-police and choose someone with decency… who would also be able to win the popular vote. We (the Rs) should have made DJT an old memory… but force the Ds and independents to do it for us. 
    • Trump literally ran on locking up hillary... ppl seem to 4get that
    • Currently in a monsoon raining badly here in Lufkin game will start late 
    • I read your posts and agree on some things and disagree with some.  I guess my one question is (in your opinion) who should we vote for?  Third party candidates do not get elected.  Kennedy is only going to dilute votes which will benefit Democrats.  Write-in votes do not win elections and I’m not even sure they are counted in a presidential election.  Many people get on and express views and tell us what is wrong with X, but never give the answer for Y.  I am extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but genuinely hope this post doesn’t come across that way.  Trump has my vote until someone persuades me otherwise (and I’m a Never Biden).  Had another R been nominated they would have had my vote.
