The SEC mystique is crazy.  I would have thought after last year, with Texas A&M (a middle of the road Big 12 team) coming in and lighting up the league that folks would have acknowledged that the SEC is not on another level.  Instead, they crown Johnny Manziel (future NFL practice squad player) the greatest freshman QB of all time.  Now you have another mediocre Big 12 program in Missouri lighting up the league.  Does the media take this as another sign that perhaps the SEC is not the equivalent of an NFL conference?  No, and Missouri will probably leapfrog us in the polls this week.  You do have to admire the marketing job by the conference and by ESPN, it's working somehow.
