looks pretty pathetic to me.
Tennessee going for the win and Lane Kiffin decides to let 40 seconds run off the clock and not try to get closer than 45 yards for the field goal and it gets blocked for the second time in the game. Kicker was also short from 46 yards earlier. What a dumb***.

And people think Alabama is undisputed #1? Oh, well ... doesn't really matter. If Texas wins out they'll play the winner of the SEC for the national title.

The refs didn't call Tenn for an obvious hold on the QB scramble. The Tenn lineman had the Bama DE by the jersey. It goes both ways.

This is a very average SEC conference compared to usual.

Mississippi St AND arkansas had Florida take it down to the last minutes.

Tennessee should have never lost to Alabama today.

Basic rule of thumb for a low scoring game: If it's SEC, it's good defense. If it's Big XII, it's pathetic football.

Please spell Wittens name right in your sig...

And SEC has locked down several National championships in the last 10 years.

Speaks for itself. But this year is a definite down year.

Truthfully there aren't any teams in any conference that look dominant.

I suggest examining his sig more closely.

i dont know if anyone watched the Bama/Tenn game.

one one play, Bama did a double CB blitz, leaving the outside WR on both sides uncovered. The blitz worked.

the first thought that ran through my mind was, that defensive call doesn't work in the Big 12 or even Pac 10. You leave WRs completely open against teams that actually have QBs that are of quality, and you get burned.

Against SEC QBs, this kind of defensive call works.

IMHO, neither of the teams Florida or Bama played had the quality of defense OU has. A 16-13 win is a sign that Texas and the Big12 are soft but getting worked by 3-4 Arkansas and 3-4 Tennessee are signs of just how tough the SEC really is.

I'm a fan of the SEC and I would be amoung the 1st to say that the SEC is typically one of, if not the toughest conferences in the country year in, year out. However, having said this, the SEC has not proven to be a better conference then the Big 12 this season and I don't believe they are better. I guess we'll see.
