They also managed 10 pts on offense against Memphis, 17 against La Tech and rolled it up against 4-7Southland conference foe NW LA State with 38. If you think that the SEC's strength lies in its offenses you must be watching only Florida and KY.

No doubt their nonconference schedule is disgraceful and in years where the conference is down as a whole I jump all over teams from the SEC going undefeated and then complaining about getting left out of the national championship when they played such a weak nonconference schedule. This year happens to be a very good year for the SEC. I am by no means an SEC fan, not even close. I just think the quality of football in the SEC is head and shoulders ahead of the Big East and the Big Ten this year and it is a joke that we are going to have a National Championship game between two one loss teams from those down conferences when there are two better two loss teams in the SEC (one of which lost twice in 3OT). Hell, if we had a playoff I might even take Florida over any of the teams currently ranked 1-3. They desperately need a playoff to end all of this BS.
