Big fast guys and lots of them.
I've seen it asked before, but is there any reason why these regionally similar conferences have such a wide gap? When's the last time the ACC produced a national le CONTENDER? They have what, 2-3 BCS wins in the BCS era? While the SEC has 6 national les..
Is it coaching..? The ACC has some talent too..
Florida State might be a contender this year, only due to a ridiculously easy schedule. How can they have hte gall to schedule both Murray State and Savannah State
and, Tide stacked as fuc
Big fast guys and lots of them.
You can pay top dollar to the best recruits when your schools don't waste money on things like educating their students.
Nothing is more important in the south than football.
disliking blacks is a lot more important actually.
Think about it.
They love football sooooooooooooo much they want to win soooooooooooooo bad they are cool with having black players because they realize without them they ain't . Trust me they love football more than they hate blacks.
disliking and treating blacks like subhumans a long ass time ago is the reason the south is good at football right now actually.
that aint hard to figure out, even for a pea brain like you.
Are you really that stupid little fella? What happened once upon a time ain't got to do with football, what an idiot!
The problem with Bama is they can't win in style...everything is ugly and hard to watch.
College Football needs The U back, where they would tell you off, then proceed to beat you by 50 on your home field.
Yeah the le game last year was one of the worst ever. Both defenses were obviously great but were kinda helped out due to the complete incompetence of each offense. Bama's offense was slightly less incompetent, so they won.
I hate to defend Bama and LSU, but I don't remember LSU's offense being crap when they hung 40 on Oregon and 47 on West Virginia last year or Bama hanging 41 on Michigan this week.
I'm not sure what ya'll are talking about. Those two defenses were above great last year. Whenever they meet its going to be a grind.
Jerrett Lee was the QB in those games you mentioned and LSU's offense was good when he was QB and when Miles let him pass. Les Miles however decided to start a re ed chimpanzee with sickle cell anemia at QB in the national championship game. But you're right, when a re ed chimpanzee with sickle cell anemia tosses a shovel pass directly to someone on Alabama, it's Alabama's great defense, not LSU's horrid offense.
There's no way around how horrid and ty LSU's offense was in the national championship game. If Miles started Jerrett Lee and didn't try running it down the throat of the best front 7 in all of football last year, it might have been different, but unfortunately Miles and most other SEC coaches have a weird fetish for watching sweaty, large black men run into each other.
Lack of academic standards, cheating on number of scholarships then trimming down and a general willingness to cheat as far as they can to get an athlete through the academic side of the equation so they can play.
Really, the SEC embodies everything thats wrong with college athletics.
considering many of the teams in the ACC are in the south, you come across as not too smart.
The following are southern states Virgina, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. That's about 10 teams.
That would lead me to say you are wrong.
I think what it really comes down to is ACC teams are academic first Universities and won't take some of the idiots the SEC takes.
More important than that, they are basketball first conference and the majority of their schools are more committed to creating a great basketball product than a great football product.
UNC was great when Mack was the coach but they havent found a great coach since then. Outside of Florida, North Carolina produces as many great players and any other state in the south, but they don't keep them and those that want to stay in state have the choice of really only one school that is committed to football, NCSU.
Hard to be the man when your not committed to being the man.
Try paying attention ok? I was talking about the south not SEC/ACC. Talk about not being too smart, sheesh~~~~~~~~
And no North Carolina doesn't produce as much talent as Florida
Nobody cares about the acedemic situation, the SEC is about winning football games. These players are recruited for that purpose only and all this talk about graduation rate is BS, these coachs only care about football, obviously they must play the game.
Dude, you have so much to learn.
No offense, but North Carolina is not even close to Georgia, which is number 4 right behind Texas California and Florida. NC might be top ten.

Also, if you're not from the South you don't understand the culture about football. It's not something you can read about and get an idea. That's not to romanticize the southern love of college football, it just is that way. People are poor, undereducated on average and love sports. Not that hard to figure out.

As far as the schools go, these universities aren't all academic slouches they've just committed to becoming NFL factories on the side.. It's not like these guys are graduating with doctorates. Money ing talks.
Yeah, nobody else does that stuff at all. USC, North Carolina, Miami, Ohio St (all good academic schools) and on and on
This is the default that people say when they can't come up with anything else
The SEC is not a stellar academic league, no , but to pretend that these issues are not widespread in other conferences is laughable
The SEC is good because generations of persecution, slavery, lynchings and being chased by white folk has made the surviving black gene pool in the area bigger, stronger, and faster. SEC football is a case of an entire demographic going through accelerated Darwinism for several generations.
God bless.
DoK, w/ the Jimmy the Greek goods, per par
Everyone who knew Jimmy the Greek said he wasn't a racist guy at all. The way he said what he said came out horribly racist but it didn't have racial intent. It's a concept anyone who believes in the theory of evolution should understand.
This wins post of the month for me.
Here's a link for you... Graduation rates by conference.
http://stanford.scout.com/2/1066657.html
have a look at mighty UT Austin, lmao...It would have the worst rate in the SEC were it a part of the conference 49%OU is 44%
Of the bottom 10 in FBS, there is not one SEC school...
Oh, and don't start with the quality of education , because a majority of these kids at top-tier universities are barely qualifying and then still taking bull majors like speech communications, Afro-American studies, and sports management
Here ya go ers, a point of pride/shame for Auburn
Over a four year period, Auburn graduated 100% of it's white students, while only graduating 49% of it's black students. It's the most extreme difference in the country. IMO, this reflects as much on the socio-economic background/family dynamic (emphasis on education) as it does on a failure to educate. Auburn has put plenty of caucasians in the NFL, just like blacks, so it's not like they're only recruiting smart white kids and uneducated/unintelligent blacks. Still, it's embarrassing and something must be done to improve it.
NC State and Oregon were the next worst programs on that list
Here's the most telling list that blows some of these ty arguments out of the water. I think it speaks for itself
Biggest Difference in Grad Rates Between Football Players and All Students
Major Programs
(Difference of 15% or more)
Football Players/All Student/Difference
UCLA 52% 89% -37%
Texas 49% 78% -29%
Georgia Tech 49% 78% -29%
USC 61% 86% -25%
Cal 65% 89% -24%
Texas A&M 57% 78% -21%
Michigan St. 55% 75% -20%
Oklahoma 44% 62% -18%
Virginia 75% 93% -18%
Clemson 60% 77% -17%
Maryland 64% 81% -17%
BYU 62% 78% -16%
Michigan 72% 88% -16%
Wisconsin 65% 80% -15%
North Carolina St. 56% 71% -15%
What it clearly shows is that top notch universities let the same dumbass kids in (as other less academically prestigious schools) to win football games and make them $$$$$$.
It also shows that the problem obviously isn't regional
There's another rather glaring conclusion you could draw, but I think I'll leave that for someone else to point out

It's a lot easier to graduate when you can take courses like Soul Food Independent Study
