Give me a break. Flordia is an excellent program, with great facilities, and great recruiting. LSU has had a good decade, but is nowhere near the self running program Florida is. Auburn had a fantastic year in 2004 but has faded since and Tubberville hasn't been recruiting the type of talent to get back on top. Alabama hasn't been good for decades, period. Georgia, though competitive in the SEC and potentially very good if they played in the ACC or Big East are not Florida caliber.
The SEC is very good at one thing--pushing its own hype. The minute they get one good team, the entire conference piggybacks and tells the rest of the country how good they are. But how good are they? Look at the bowl records in the past few years. Look at a team like USC who have easily disposed of every SEC foes they have seen over the last 4 years. The SEC a very good conference top to bottom, but it is also extremely overrated, top to bottom. There is also no doubt that it is also the dirtiest conference in terms of recruiting in the entire country.
