If the SEC teams played real schedules, you and many other might feel differently.  Their misleading 9-3 seasons set a standard for the nation, and make 8-4 look like near-failure. But if each of them had to replace one of their ridiculous OOC opponents with an SEC team, it would add seven losses a year to the SEC's aggregate win-loss, and make possible a true comparison of teams across the country.

This past bowl season really blew the cover off the SEC getting the benefit of the doubt.  Starting to see reality creep in for at least some SEC schools as they are scheduling more OOC teams from other FBS conferences.  I doubt we'll see it from Alabama any time soon, but Auburn, LSU and others appear to slowly be getting the message.
