The SEC is (STILL) Overrated in College Football

[J.B. TexasEx]

Excellent blog post by one of my favorite new Twitter follows, @SEC_Exposed.  I can't get enough of this stuff.  It's great ammunition when arguing with aggie rubes (redundant?).

We are told that one of the biggest reasons for the SEC attention is their “top to bottom†greatness, reflected by their mid-pack and doormat teams winning most of their non-conference matchups. This is misleading to a fault. We tallied up the 56 out of conference games to be played by all the teams in the SEC this 2014 season. 43% of these out of conference games are against either FCS (25%) or Sun Belt conference (18%) schools!

Only 19% of SEC OOC games are against the “major conferences†(ACC, Big12, B1G, & PAC-12). So how does the SEC’s 19% stack up against the other 4 “power†conferences?  

Conference % of 2014 Out of Conference Games against other Power Conferences

SEC 19%
ACC 34%
Big Ten 34%
PAC-12 35%
Big 12 37%

The problem with the SEC myth is that it continues to be perpetuated by the media. Much like the aggy myth.
