ORIGINAL: Ian Joseph I have $20 says there is only one SEC team in the playoffs. Done. You got yourself a deal, man. I still maintain probably the best 4 teams in the country are all in the SEC West this year. Craziness. I do think Oregon is better than FSU right now. Maybe TCU and KSU are better too. FSU just has not been impressive at all this year in any game. So, we don't forget. Can't wait for the excuses now Well, Dustin is my dude and he's fair, so I don't expect excuses. He will still feel like the SEC West teams are still the best in the land, but he'll take his medicine like a man regardless of his feelings. Will pay up for sure man, if/when it happens. It's going to be a crazy finish. Oregon/Alabama are locks barring huge upsets. Hell, even with a loss for either at this point they may be in. But if FSU loses to GT? What happens? TCU and Baylor make it? TCU has been good but Baylor certainly hasn't been impressive of late. And Ohio State has been good but how can you put them in the playoff without Barrett? Just an ugly, ugly season. And yes, I do still believe those SEC teams are the best. They just got beaten down by the grind of their own conference (mainly that West division). I think at least 7-8 teams in the SEC would compete or win the ACC/Big10/Big12/Pac12 conference titles. Again, look to Vegas. At least 7 or 8 teams. Alabama, for sure Missouri, not likely Georgia, Nick Chubb has done much of what Gurley could have Miss State, played two real teams and lost Auburn, played four real teams and lost Ole Miss, lost three times Texas A&M, really, they lost 5 times Florida, so good that they fired their coach That's eight who would compete, or win those other conferences? I'm not seeing it. Show me where Vegas says those 7-8 would compete or win the other conferences. While you're at it, define compete, because they way you're using it I assume you mean contend. Take off the blinders man, all these teams proved is that they could beat each other, not unlike every other conference out there. Alabama/MSU/OleMiss/Auburn/Georgia would all probably not only contend but win those other conferences IMO. Or at least be right there. LSU/Arkansas as well. That's 7. Missouri/A&M would compete. IMO. Hell, this weekend's games against the ACC that you point to actually prove that point. The worst of the SEC was basically "right there" with all of the best in the ACC. And by Vegas Murf, I'm talking about lines of favorites. Any of those top 5 teams (maybe those top 7 with LSU/Arkansas) would be basically even lines against any of the "top" teams like Oregon/TCU/Baylor/Ohio State/Florida State according to Vegas. Alabama would/will be a heavy favorite against just about anyone in the country right now. That's what I mean.
