Interesting article examining SEC bias / amount of coverage on ESPN Gameday

[Buffnik]

The SEC is good. But in my opinion they are not as good as the rankings of their teams would indicated for the last several years.

Argument: But, but, but...a sting of national championships!
Rebuttal: The inflated rankings permitted SEC teams with the same record to play in those championships.

Argument: But, but, but...look how high they are ranked in the polls!
Rebuttal: My point exactly.

MY Argument: The rankings seldom hold water when tested in out-of-conference play.

A great example this year is the case of Michigan State. They lost a game and are done for all practical purposes. That loss was on the road at Oregon, halfway across the country. SEC teams don't play games like that as a general rule. Credit to Auburn for going to KSU this year.

Actually, I agree with bottoming MSU. The Big 10 sucks.

Allioti looks and sounds like he's lived hard, and is a cautionary tale, which is not what I want to watch when I'm 3 beers in early on a Saturday.
