LOOK at how good that SEC conference is. Really, just LOOK at how MANY teams from the SEC are in the pre-freaking-season Top 25! I mean, that's what all the SEC fanboys point to, so it must make the SEC really good right?
Never mind that one of their Top 25 teams lost to U-C-wehavea3rdstringqb-LA last week. And definitely ignore that another one of their "Top 25" teams lost to freaking Vandy tonight. (FYI: Vandy is bad.)
Yep, clearly a dominant conference! Really!

What a cute little straw man you’ve erected here!
…but where is the corn it’s supposed to be protecting?

By saying that these losses reflect poorly on the conference you are arguing backwards. The standard SEC “argument” is that a top twenty five team losing to Vandy shows how “deep” the conference is so it is actually a good thing, and maybe something like “Tennessee only played half-speed because they had to save something for that brutal conference schedule but they still almost won!”

Uh, Vandy is in the SEC. What is your argument there?

Biscuit,
I fully buy into your circular logic argument, but did you post this drunk?

1) Yes, was drunk 2) I stand by it. Getting beat by a terrible SEC team is still getting beat by a terrible team. NO ONE can argue that Vandy is an even decent program. They’re horrible. The point is that SEC fanboys point to ‘all the SEC teams in the top 25′ as their evidence for having the best conference. My point is that 2 of those teams are already out of the Top 25, because they SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. The reason they WERE there in the first place is the over-rated-ness of the conference. Can you simpletons follow this or do I need to get you some flash cards?

I actually agree with Biscuit’s twisted logic on this one. I’m more than a little afraid.

DTK,
I agree with it, but the post just made me laugh. You have to know Biscuit (I think you’d like one another in real life) to know that if he were speaking these words, and he were drunk, they’d be “spoken” at about 50,000 decibels and they’d be spoken about 200 feet from you as he spoke them down the hallway to you at 4am.
