DonkeyPunch,
I just want to make sure I am understanding you correctly.
You are honestly claiming that the SEC getting into the BCS championship game the past 7 years had absolutely nothing to do with the SEC being the best conference in college football or having one of the two best teams, but was only due to the SEC paying money to the right people to make sure they got in?
Like I said: If the SEC’s dominance angers you so much you might want to avoid threads specifically about the SEC. If your only focus is gambling then steer clear of threads like this one. You knew exactly what the thread was going to be about yet you opened it anyway. I guess some people just enjoy bitching and moaning too much.
Oh, and congratulations on making a post that didn’t include randomly talking on men having oral sex with other men. I guess you read the link on Psychological Projection. 
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT MOST OF THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE SEC ( EXCEPTION VANDY ) WOULD NOT QUALIFY ACADEMICALLY IN THE BIG TEN, BIG EAST, PAC 12, BIG 12.
THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCES ACC, (EXCEPT DUKE) AND THE SUNBELT LET EVERYONE QUALIFY!!THUS ALOT OF THESES ACADEMICALLY CHALLENGED ATHLETHES ARE NOT RECRUITED BY NORTHERN SCHOOLS WITH HIGHER ACADEMIC STANDARDS.
VERY FEW COULD GET INTO NOTRE DAME !!THE POWERS THAT BE AT ND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE SCHOOL TO RELAX THEIR ACADEMIC STANDARDS FOR YEARS!
REMEMBER ACADEMICS FIRST!!!!

And if the SEC only had one great team during their run your examples would be applicable. However 6 straight BCS Championships with 4 different teams goes beyond a single program.
Sure, one day the SEC probably won’t be the best conference, but unfortunately for the SEC-haters that day’s not going to come anytime soon.
Interesting post. The only thing I really have an issue with is your take on the 2008 game. When Florida beat Alabama they were playing a game in which the winner would go on to play in the National Championship.
When Utah beat Alabama Utah was playing in the biggest game in the history of their program while Bama clearly couldn’t have cared less. They went from playing in the title game to playing in a consolation bowl with freakin’ Utah.
Florida faced a much different team than Utah faced.

The Southeastern Conference has earned its towering superiority complex. The smugness is based on fact, the arrogance grounded in truth. The proof is in the hardware, and six consecutive crystal footballs don't lie.

It’s a “big possibility” that the SEC getting into the BCS championship game the past 7 years had absolutely nothing to do with the SEC being the best conference in college football or having one of the two best teams, but was only due to the SEC paying money to the right people to make sure they got in?
Well if that’s the case then there’s also a “big possibility” that the 1969 moon landing was really filmed in a Hollywood studio and that bigfoot exists.
When a single conference has 6 teams in the top 10 at the end of the regular season there’s a pretty good chance each team is going to miss playing some of the top conference teams.
And if Florida would have taken care of business against Georgia they wouldn’t be “getting hosed.”
So is your argument that the SEC’s 6 straight BCS Championships with 4 different teams isn’t that impressive because the SEC is good enough to always put a team in the title game?

I’ve been hearing that for the past half decade. Yet here we are. Another title game. Another SEC team.
Like I said: this isn’t going to end anytime soon. Pretty much the only hope SEC-haters have is that more than one of the major SEC schools goes on probation at the same time.
“Alabama didn't take care of business against am”
Alabama won their division by being the only team with 1 loss.
“florida against Georgia”
That’s why they didn’t win their division.
“georgia against sc”
Georgia won their division by having only 1 loss and owning the tie breaker over UF.
“oregon against stanford”
That’s why Oregon isn’t playing for the national championship.
Bottom line: if you play in a major conference and take care of your business you are almost certainly going to play for the BCS championship. If you don’t, then you leave your fate in the hands of others.
“Alabama to me looks like the better team on the field. But florida has the best resume out of all the teams and they also have the best looking loss.”
That may be, but Florida didn’t even win their own division and I don’t think many people are arguing that Georgia and Florida are clearly the two best teams in the country.
