SEC/Bama Players and the cash they hold

8-2 and undefeated at home, you should have picked Brown

 

And so does Barry and Gary and our Bo. It's talked about all the time. Gary Andersen has one of his core values on his office wall as "graduate". I hope our 66% gets better. And yes I'd take lower quality players to improve that.

Thugs belong in the SEC

 

Getting my *** chewed out in a meeting, sob

 

Yeah because SEC doesn't have any students like Aaron Murray who is working towards his Master's now and graduated with a 4.0, while being a quarterback for UGA...oh wait, that's SEC. You are right, SEC are just hicks with no eduaction at all.

 

Oh, and nobody goes to a football game to watch a GPA!

 

Had to post this from an article I read:

Back in early February, Urban Meyer called out his fellow Big Ten coaches with regards to the average recruiting performance of the conference. Why would he want to push his competition to recruit better players? Because in today’s world of college football, the perception of the strength of each conference is huge.

Last night, the evidence was again on display as the Big Ten had only a single player drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. The SEC had 12.

The gap has widened so much that the debate really isn’t a debate anymore. Everyone knows the SEC consistently plays a much better brand of football than the Big Ten right now. This doesn’t mean this will last forever, but it is meaningful for the near term and for as long as the SEC is keeping national titles down south.

Never before has conference reputation mattered so much in college football. Part of the environment has been created as a result of the fusion of SEC dominance and SEC pride. The noise has been getting louder and if you’re not from the SEC, frankly, it’s getting annoying. A form of conference pride in the Big Ten and other conferences has taken root essentially in response to the SEC chants.

While the conference pride is becoming more widespread, the conference reputation has real ramifications in what happens during each season of college football.

During the 2012 season, there were times when more than half of the top ten teams in the country were from the SEC. Single loss SEC teams were ranked higher than undefeated teams from other conferences. Two loss SEC teams were ranked higher than one loss teams from the other conference. This reality in the polls has been earned by years of consistent dominance on the field.

This same reputation will be enormous as we move into a four-team playoff with the selection committee seeding the four teams. Of course anything can happen in a season, but it’s difficult to imagine any conference having a decent chance at placing two teams in the four playoff teams other than the SEC.

The NFL Draft is an NFL event, but it’s impact isn’t confined to just the pro league. People are paying attention, and people notice that the talent level of the SEC is constantly reinforced whether it is recruiting rankings or the NFL Draft. Don’t think that this doesn’t have a lasting impact. It does, and it’s yet another reason why the SEC will be given the benefit of the doubt for polls next season. Rightfully so.

 

From 2011 Big Ten media days

 

Michigan's QB got his BA in three years and he says Aaron Murray has poopy pants

 

I still have never understood the conference pride thing. Even when the big ten was the best I never felt proud because of it. I cheer for a team. Not a conference.

In the Big Ten you have to actually study and do class work, so if the Big Ten was just about football they would be right there also.

 

Yeah, in the Big 10 athletes do not get preferential treatment Please.

 

Hey...I've been taking up for you gumps in this thread.

I can't help that Saban somehow magically got Eddie Lacy to qualify. The dude could barely read when he graduated HS.

 

Actually they are held to a higher standard.

 

sure

 

I find this kinda funny. The sec has several schools listed as the best colleges in the US.

I hate college football so I really don't care about it one way or the other.:D

Really, there is one smart guy in the SEC? I wonder where he would fit in the bell curve of a Big 10 University. Maybe a 'B'...? Probably a high 'C'.

I bet his momma is dern proud too.

 

Your take on it is different.

 

This was hilarious!!


ps- Alabama was the only school without a photo, on the list. They couldn't afford to provide one, as they gave all their money to their players!

 

You have the slimiest coach in all of CFB. You can no longer claim moral superiority to anybody.
