Laying some eggs out there...

only Bama and A&M left to save the conference (Ole Miss isn't important enough to matter).

    Mizzou...wow, they laid an ostritch egg this year. And no, Bama winning wouldn't make me angry.

    Having to put up with Notre Dame worship should they win would be FAR more annoying.

    It's been an overrated conference since ESPN took a financial interest by getting the TV rights. They also have a financial interest in the Big 10+2.

    Now, the top 2-3 teams in the SEC are typically solid, but the rest of the conference this year is trash.

    Remember, ATM was a 5th/6th place Big 12 team. It took them a move to the SEC for them to win 10 games.

    Funny, but true! They aren't banned from winning/sharing the title. If...when...Notre dame loses they will be the only undefeated team.

    you really can't. especially when they will likely have referees on their side.

    By the way, now that ND is winning, I bet no one is counting Coach Kelly's expletives on the sidelines.

    What's scary about A&M is that nobody has really run that kind of offense with remotely elite level recruits or an elite o-line. The pontential is there if defensive recruiting can keep up and they can have a serviceable defense every year like this season. Current recruiting is kind of skewed by the sheer numbers in their class, but solid top of their class at worst.

    they can only win the AP title, and - i hate to break it to you - that's not going to happen.

    being undefeated means little. Ask Auburn from 2004.

    Eh, I know, but I just like that it's a possibility.

    I think it'll be an awesome game, but I'm hoping Bama pulls out the win. And No, the SEC is not overrated. ;-) Look at Alabama's stats and then look at Ohio's stats. Even if Ohio is 12-0, the right teams are playing for the National Champ title.

    I think Georgia represented the SEC well this year and probably would have done a lot better then Florida last night.

    I must admit I enjoyed the Florida game yesterday. But as a Michigan fan, I can't really say much about SEC overrating this year (well I can, but then I must also admit to my own teams overrating, which I will not submit to logic and do).

    It is overrated. it would be difficult for the SEC to not be overrated. It's not their fault. They are not only touted as the best conference, but so far superior to all other conferences that ESPN can't fathom anyone beating any SEC team in any year (ok, that's some hyperbole, but still, the point is that SEC is given unrealistic expectations). And then LSU loses to Clemson, Miss St gets beat by Northwestern, Florida gets rolled by Louisville, etc. when prognosticators thought each would win by 1,000 points (again, hyperbole).

    Media (especially ESPN) thinks the SEC resides somewhere between College football and the NFL, and it's just not true. So in that sense, they are overrated.
