Here's what all the hoopla is about from the fans. tcu is very good, but when playing for example, Alabama at Tuscaloosa, followed by Arkansas at home, followed by ole miss at Oxford,then play south Carolina at home etc etc etc. The problem is when you play great team after great team that is also fueled by 40,50,60 years of rivalrys and disappointments, and huge emotional wins and losses, it makes each game every week the biggest game of the year. Teams like (this year) fsu, and ohst while having their own rivalry games seem to get a little more time between huge games to prepare. For example if say Arkansas who is a really good team this year, played ohst schedule you could make a strong case that they would be undefeated. Not 100% for a fact but you could argue that they run the table. The 6th or 7th best team in the sec!! Conversely if ohst played Arkansas schedule you can say that they would probably have at least 2 losses if not more. So I don't think that "we" think all of "our" are better than all other teams, it's just that the regular season is so much more of a grind week in and week out. Hope my rambling helps. Just make my take on things. Trying to put in words what most get all bent outta shape about.

So............other teams don't play tough games throughout the season? gotcha....
Look, that is utter nonsense.
What you're doing is called excuse making. SEC fans can't have it both ways. They CAN"T! IF you win it's because of this sec nonsense...if you lose it's called what? excuse making time.
Hey just call it like it is.... SEC never plays anyone OOC. They play each other and use the " week after week " propaganda...
