    2) The SEC is building their Out of Conference Reputation on mostly FCS and Sun Belt teams
    - We are told that one of the biggest reasons for the SEC attention is their “top to bottom” greatness, reflected by their mid-pack and doormat teams winning most of their non-conference matchups. This is misleading to a fault. We tallied up the 56 out of conference games to be played by all the teams in the SEC this 2014 season. 43% of these out of conference games are against either FCS (25%) or Sun Belt conference (18%) schools! (For those of you new to the college football world, the Sun Belt Conference is largely regarded as the worst conference in FBS and is made up largely of teams that were FCS programs within the past few years.) Only 19% of SEC OOC games are against the “major conferences” (ACC, Big12, B1G, & PAC-12). So how does the SEC’s 19% stack up against the other 4 “power” conferences?

    PAC-12 35%
    Big 12 37%

    What about bowl success and the SEC over the last 30 years?

    It doesn't matter how you try to slice and dice it the SEC has more great athletes and teams than any other conference and I'm a Pac12 fan (USC my team). The biggest and obvious difference is over all team speed. So many speedy athletes.

    Once the SEC started bringing in the black athletes it was over. Once Those guys could stay in the south without having to go to Grambling, Jackson State, etc ....it was over. Simply more great black athletes in the south who want to stay there.
