Pac 10 v SEC: Some more facts

So we out here in the west know how talented the Pac 10 is, but very rarely do we get the respect we deserve. Bruce Feldman wrote an article today on his blog and he had some interesting stuff about the Pac 10 vs the SEC. Check it out:

 

• More grist for the SEC nonconference scheduling debate. This time from Jon Solomon:

"Besides losing a payday, leaving home means this harsh reality for the SEC: It's pretty mediocre on the road. Since 1998, the SEC is 40-39 in nonconference road games. That mark drops to 24-31 at schools from BCS conferences. The Pac-10, which SEC fans conveniently shoo aside, is now 10-6 this decade against the SEC. Whereas the SEC is 1-6 at Pac-10 schools, the Pac-10 has gone 4-5 at SEC stadiums."

As I said the other day, I do believe that the SEC is the toughest conference in college football. "Believe" being the operative word. And while it is true that the league has won the past two BCS titles, these head-to-head games should carry some weight.

The Heisman Pundit weighed in on this subject recently and raised a valid point.

Hmmm

That’s really interesting stuff.

SEC is a great conference, and they deserve a lot of the noise they get, but the fan’s pompous attitudes towards the west is very ignorant.

Go Duckies!

Obviously the SEC is a great conference

And yes, they continue to have great talent and rankings and teams and what not… I guess my point is that this conference is not USC and friends. What was it since 1996 every team in the Pac 10 had won a conference title. I can take a gander and what teams from the SEC have won:
Tennessee
Florida
Georgia
LSU
Auburn

And I’m not even sure Georgia has won an SEC title since Richt has been there. Yeah the SEC is good at the top. But Mississippi St losing to Louisiana Tech? Not exactly a top team there and they were 8-5 last year. Arkansas squeaking by ULM or whoever it was? Bama losing to ULM last year?

The only argument that SEC can say is that Oregon State has finished in the top 3 in the conference the last 2 years and have been blown out in the non-conference. But that’s the ONLY argument they can make.

Yes

Richt has won an SEC championship. But not a National one yet. That said, my team has owned his the last 3 season. Ah, such sweet payback for his first 3 seasons of stomping on anything Orange.

Methinks I’ll be commenting more than twice on this post.

Also...

The Pac-10 vs. SEC in that time excluding USC is 10-6. The SEC vs. the Pac-10 excluding LSU is 1-7

Correction...

The Pac-10 excluding USC vs. the SEC during that time is 6-6. The SEC excluding LSU vs. Pac-10 in that time is 1-7

I don't know whats up with my facts today...

That SEC w/o LSU record is actually 2-10. Not sure where I came up with 1-7. Here’s a blog/article on the subject

by inroywetrust on Sep 5, 2008 8:49 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That is something that I hadn't looked up

But was interested in knowing.
LSU had played Arizona 2 or 3 times.
Auburn played Wazzu once.
And remember how close LSU was to LOSING to a “shitty” OSU team
In Serna We Trust(ed)
But my God what a meltdown that game

Go Beavs

by The VD Special on Sep 5, 2008 10:08 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I had never pulled for the Beavers more than in that game

that was a gut shot for me, I can’t imagine how it felt for the beaver fans – ugh

by bradLL99 on Sep 5, 2008 12:11 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Remember how you felt?

When Colvin fumbled out of the back of the end zone?
Or maybe when Dixon went down in the UA game.
I’ve never cried after a game, except for that one.

by The VD Special on Sep 5, 2008 1:12 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Dixon

it wasn’t until I saw how bad Leaf looked that I was worried, Leaf was halfway decent the year before so I thought we’d be OK. So rather than a punch in the gut, it felt more like pulling a hang nail very slowly.

Colvin is probably a good comparison, I blocked that from my memory, lets never speak of it again

by bradLL99 on Sep 5, 2008 7:02 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

SEC fans are quite arrogant, AND the Pac-10 doesn’t get the respect we deserve.

But I still think the SEC is the best, and the Pac-10 and Big 12 (top heavy) are battling for 2nd.

Good Artlcle! GO DUCKS!
