I also love this in baseball. Well in Tito's last 24 at bats he has hit 7 Home Runs. Very nice starting point that 24th at bat since of course that was a home run. That 8th home run came in the 66th at bat from present, so you certainly dont want to say that actually in Tito's last 65 at bats, he has hit 7 home runs. This kind of reading of stats is funny.

OK. So I am nuts. I just think stats and such are so easy to make a certain point look better than it really is.

Anyways... The SEC is very tough again. They will beat up on each other like always. The toughest Conf. away games in the country are in the SEC. And they have been for a while now.

Well I could have used the top 24 and included 2 from the WAC. I think that if you are rated in the top 16 in the country then you may be ok. I get tired of hearing how great the SEC is and how the rest of the country is no good. Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Georgia and Tenn are consistently good but what about KY, Miss St, Ol Miss, Vanderbilt who are consistently bad? It is not like they play every good team in the conference every year. There is a lot of depth to the conference because there are a lot of good teams but there are a lot of other teams throughout the country that would do just fine in the SEC.

haven't heard much about either one...the hogs are ranked 21, so i'm sure the shouting will now begin about how they are ranked too low. and usually when that happens, they show why.
as for norman, last i heard was that his trial will be in november--the criminal trial. there was a civil suit filed as well. (of course).

i think the sec tried to blow it's own horn a lot because they feel slighted on a nationwide level. hard to say tho that by trying to elevate themselves, that they are saying the rest are no good.
and so true about those four teams--they are perennial losers...

these 4 are still better than the bottom 4 teams in any other conference. sec road games against these teams are no picnic. don't be shocked if vandy beats Bama in nashville, week #2.

That is an old argument that I always answer with...What difference does it make if you are beating the doormats by 25 or 35?

Is the SEC the strongest overall football conference. Yes.
Is it that much better than the other power conferences? Not really
