SEC superiority

SEC postseason facts, courtesy of league headquarters:
* LSU's 2007 BCS National Championship is the Southeastern Conference's fourth in the 10 years of the BCS. Tennessee won the BCS National Championship in 1998, LSU in 2003 and Florida in 2006.
* The SEC is the first conference to win back-to-back BCS titles.
* The SEC is 11-4 all-time in BCS bowl games. The SEC has won four BCS bowl games in the last two seasons.
* The SEC's seven bowl wins this season is an all-time high for any conference. SEC had six last season (previous high).
* The SEC's 7-2 bowl record this season is first among the automatic qualifying BCS conferences (.778 percent) and second overall (Mountain West - 4-1, .800 percent) this season.
* This season, the SEC posted a 47-10 record against non-conference foes (.825 percent), which is the highest percentage of all FBS conferences. 47 wins ties an SEC high all-time (last season, had 47).
* The SEC now has 184 bowl wins in its history, which is tops in FBS.
* The SEC's bowl win percentage of 52.8 (184-164-13) is percentage points ahead of the ACC's 143-128-5 percentage of 52.7 for tops among FBS conferences. Records are using 2007 conference alignments.

Re: SEC superiority

Well, that's a mixed bag of stats.

Quote:
* The SEC is the first conference to win back-to-back BCS titles.
* The SEC is 11-4 all-time in BCS bowl games. The SEC has won four BCS bowl games in the last two seasons.
Those two are impressive.

Quote:
* The SEC's seven bowl wins this season is an all-time high for any conference. SEC had six last season (previous high).
That one's a byproduct of too many teams getting into bowl games these days.

Quote:
* The SEC's 7-2 bowl record this season is first among the automatic qualifying BCS conferences (.778 percent) and second overall (Mountain West - 4-1, .800 percent) this season.
I think Bama highlighted the wrong part. I fixed it for him.

Quote:
* The SEC's bowl win percentage of 52.8 (184-164-13) is percentage points ahead of the ACC's 143-128-5 percentage of 52.7 for tops among FBS conferences. Records are using 2007 conference alignments.
Finally, this one proves what I've been saying all along - are you guys the best? Yes. But not by as much as you seem to THINK you are.

Re: SEC superiority

I think the biggest compliment to the SEC is the top 3 or 4 teams every year. This year I would think we had 2 possibly 3 teams that were nearly equal. One of them faced the flagship of another conference and soundly beat them another one pounded the only unbeaten team in the country, only one of the top 5 SEC teams lost.

Re: SEC superiority

Hey, Geechee, just curious - do you actually have a favorite team, or do you just like bashing other schools?

3-3 head to head in bowl games the past two years. Yeah, the Big Ten is so out of the SEC's class. And I'm the king of England.

Re: SEC superiority

For the last decade looking at the final bowl tallies (including BCS games)...
SEC: 44-30 (59.4%)
Big12: 33-32 (50.7%)
PAC10: 20-20 (50%)
BigEast: 19-18 (51.4%)
Big10: 28-38 (42.4%)
ACC: 22-30 (42.3%)


... then just the BCS records...
SEC: 11-4 (73.3%), 4 BCS Titles
PAC10: 8-4 (66.7%), 1 BCS Title
BigEast: 6-4 (60%), 1 BCS Title
Big10: 8-8 (50%), 1 BCS Title
Big12: 6-8 (42.9%), 2 BCS Titles
ACC: 1-9 (10%), 1 BCS Title

I think it is pretty clear which conference is the best over the past 10 years.
