WAH WAH WAH by Tannen

We've had a few chats this week about how 'overrated' the SEC is. Pac 10 fans have the proverbial bug up their butts and they simply don't get it. Yes, there is something called East Coast bias, but it's not for the reasons you think. I've mentioned it before, but I'm getting to a point. It's not a conspiracy, it's pure numbers. When you live back in that part of the country, most people simply going through their daily lives with traffic, job, family, hobbies and their favorite sports teams, just don't have the time to give a rip about West Coast sports. That doesn't forgive the bozo's at ESPN or other networks who work in the industry for their ignorance, but it plays in. For those who think the SEC is "NOT" the best conference in America, I give you this. Choose something you hold valuable. Car, home, life, beer. Imagine a round robin tournament between the 4 best teams in the SEC and Pac 10 at a neutral site. Florida, LSU,Alabama and either Georgia or Auburn against the Ducks, USC, Stanford and Arizona, the current top 4 in the Pac. Who do you think gets more wins? Really think the Cardinal and Cats have the speed to keep up with those teams? Maybe the Trojans and U of O, but be serious. It's not a knock because that part of America is the center of the football universe and geography doesn't change. In a lot of ways, what we have out here is amazing because it's actually in the conversation and in no way takes a back seat to a college football hotbed like the Big 12. The SEC is a different conversation, like it or not.
