The SEC continues to dominate College football! Alabama cruises again.

Texas Tech won in Fayetteville. Toledo won in Little Rock. Memphis handled Ole Miss. SC lost to the Citadel, Auburn should have lost to Jacksonville State. Georgia was taken to OT by Georgia Southern, Florida was taken down to the wire by Florida Atlantic. Mississippi State and LSU played no one out of conference.

The SEC is clearly worse this year than it was last year outside of maybe Bama (and I'm not sold on them either), and the post-season last year didn't go particularly well. But I'm sure it was just because it was they were so worn down from a tough SEC schedule.

AND, Alabama should have lost to Tennessee.

Also, Alabama rarely travels for games.

The worn down excuse doesn't play. The top five SEC West teams all lost their bowl games. The two games the SEC West won were by teams 6 and 7 against lower rated opponents (season ending cupcakes).

The SEC is worse than they have been. However, you continue to ignore the glaring inadequacies of the other power 5 conferences. It's intentional. Tell me how the P12 did out of conference... The B12 did great, against no competition... The ACC's very best had issues with SC, who lost to the Citadel. Outside of Northwestern beating Stanford I'm not overly impressed with anything the B10 did out of conference. The MSU win over Oregon doesn't look nearly as great as it did at the time. But clearly it's the SEC that's overrated...

If Alabama should have lost to Tennessee then so should have Oklahoma and Florida. None of this cherry picking crap please...

First, eliminate all the SEC out of conference games that conveniently played on an SEC field. Alabama has a SINGLE games played on a non-SEC field against Wisconsin, and that game was played on a much closer to the SEC 'neutral' field (Texas). A vanpool drive for Alabama fans of 600 miles. A plane flight for Wisconsin and their fans (1000+ miles).

Ummm, Alabama did not play Oklahoma and Florida.

I know that. You read it wrong. If Alabama should have lost to Tennessee then Oklahoma and Florida should have lost to Tennessee also. Either you knew that is what my post was saying or you are moron.

Are the rules magically different on an SEC field or a neutral field? If not your post has merely trivial information.

The SEC is clearly worse this year than it was last year. No reasonable person could argue otherwise. The East is terrible outside of Florida and maybe Tennessee, the West has regressed from last year's regular season dominance.

B1G is a lot better, with probably 5 deserving teams in the top 20 (assuming Michigan drops a fair amount).

Big 12 and PAC-12 teams have limited non-conference schedules because of the 9 game conference schedule, though most teams admittedly don't do much with those 3 games. Thus it is hard to judge how they will do outside of that bubble, but both conferences managed pretty well in the big bowls last year.

ACC is incredibly top heavy, and I think UNC benefited from being in an incredibly mediocre division after GT/Duke faltered this year. They have the early albatross loss like Ohio State did last year and will be hard to judge until they play Clemson.

Like I said, parity reigns this year. I'm not sure you can definitively declare one conference the best (or worst).

Stick with eharmony, other conference choose to play the game as it should be: home and home games. None of the my field, or a field close to my home, garbage. It is an embarrassment for Alabama not play a single out of conference game on another team's home field. They are afraid of being exposed for their weakness as they were last year.

The SEC has road wins against other Power 5 conference teams this year. Perhaps look it up...

Perhaps you should look up the Alabama schedules for the last twenty years.

Well, the P12 lost quite a few out of conference games to Power 5 teams and Notre Dame. So I am pretty sure where they stand. The B12 did really mix it up out of conference so I guess it's tough to say. Although, conference elite Oklahoma barely beat Tennessee. Their one loss came to Texas, who looked pathetic out of conference. B10, maybe. Iowa and Ohio State didn't play any challenging out of conference games though. Michigan lost to Utah. Wisconsin lost to Alabama. MSU and Northwestern had good wins. So it's 50/50.

Perhaps you should. They tend to do pretty well against teams from other power 5 conferences, especially in national title. Not perfect, but they easily win more often. You probably should have picked a different team... To straight had pists from you... Try for a third?

Well, Stick with, it is easy to see why you got divorced. You simple are not smart enough to find anything yourself.

"In the regular season, the University of Alabama football team rarely travels farther than its road trip to Kyle Field. Even in the postseason, it’s rare for the Crimson Tide to exceed the near-1200 mile round-trip voyage. Since the 2009 postsesaon it’s happened only twice: the 2009 BCS national championship in Pasadena, Calif., and the 2012 championship game in Miami."

Oh, and that link to the Tuscalossa News is obviously a biased news source.

WROOOOONG. The Hollywood TV Industry dominates NCAA College Football by conjuring up the bogus strength and points system ;-)

Stanford just obliterated Notre Dame to prove once again the Pac 12 is the strongest conference with the most depth.

How many top 10 teams has Alabama beat
