that's about what I thought it would be. And I don't know how anyone can dispute that the SEC isn't the most talented conference in the country. The SEC has 5 teams in the top 15! :shock: :thumb:
The Big 10 having the #1 & #2 team in the country (for now at least) stands out more to me than 5 in the top 15 but I wouldn't care if the SEC only had one team in the top 50 if LSU was #1 in the Nation, but I understand what you're saying. :thumb:
But the Big Ten can't finish the regular season with the #'s 1 and 2. The SEC however, should finish the regular season with the same 5 in the top 15.
Not certain but could it be that the opponents they played did better than ours. Maybe ties in to SOS.... I'm not sure though.
