Now THIS I disagree with. The bottom half of the SEC is pretty weak.

you can't overrate the greatest conference in the history of the galaxy; they should be rated higher than number one they are so good.
It's a double standard ... depending on how our year goes, we generally start trash talking any team/conference possible. Already read it about KSU today and now the SEC. It's pretty classless if you think about it ... especially when it's coming from the most respectful fan base (that's us, I've heard).
No its not.

I do not buy the whole SEC is great thing. Particularly this year. The link above is Sagarin rankings by conference ... SEC is #2 barely ahead of the Pac10, followed by the B10.
Here are the top 10 non-conference games:
1. Alabama-Michigan ... imagine THE best non-con game is a neutral site game against Michigan
2. South Carolina-Clemson
3. Auburn-Clemson ... good for Clemson
4. Florida-Florida State ... I will be a Seminole fan this week!
5. Washington-LSU
6. Rutgers-Arkansas
7. Arizona State- Missouri ... Shame on Missouri to schedule tough non-con games
8. GTech-Georgia
9. Texas-Ole Miss ... it is OK for underacneiving SEC teams to schedule tough
10. Tennessee-NC State ... game against NC State is on a top 10 list?

Preseason Rankings:
http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings/_/poll/1/week/2
6 SEC teams in the preseason top 25 - 5 in the top 10. Coincidence that they remain ranked high, even after they lose?
SEC is THE top rated 1-loss team, 2-loss team. What makes Alabama the top 1-loss rated team over KState, Oregon, Florida State? More than likely it is because they ('Bama) started higher in the polls.

Yes it is.
Auburn: 3-8 (wins: Louisiana-Monroe, New Mexico State, Alabama A&M)
Kentucky: 2-9 (wins: Kent State and Samford)
Tennessee: 4-7 (wins: NC State, Georgia State, Troy, Akron)
Arkansas: 4-7 (wins: Jacksonville State, Auburn, Kentucky, Tulsa)
Mississippi: 5-6 (wins: Central Arkansas, UTEP, Tulane, Auburn, Arkansas)
Missouri: 5-6 (wins: SE Louisiana, AZ State, UCF, Kentucky, Tennessee)
What notable victory would you cite? Missouri's wins over AZ State and UCF maybe. Every other win is either incestuous or against horrible competition.
Throw out Kentucky and all of those teams are dangerous.
Auburn sucks this year, too. I wouldn't call them dangerous. Otherwise, I agree. Ole Miss gave LSU a run for their money this weekend ... of course, I'm sure somebody is going to say that LSU isn't a good team.
Everybody can have their own opinion, but the SEC seems to hold up well in bowl games and their top teams beat up on top out-of-conference teams.
Auburn: 3-8, Kentucky: 2-9, Tennessee: 4-7, Arkansas: 4-7, Mississippi: 5-6, Missouri: 5-6
vs
Illinois: 2-9, Indiana: 4-7, Purdue: 5-6, Michigan St: 5-6, Iowa: 4-7, Minnesota: 6-5
Minnesota would eat them alive.
Big 10 gets crushed.
LOL, no.
Who? Tennessee would probably throw for 800 yards against Minnesota.
you guys are so easy..................
