Sec defense are so overrated. Reason why they look good because they are a run first conference. See what happens when you spread the offense out?? Well Im sure you noticed
When you've got a multi-billion dollar propaganda machine parroting the greatness of the SEC...over and over and over ad infinitum. Then, purchasing AM/FM sports radio stations in every corner of empire, to tow the company line. The bonus of hiring/contracting nearly every AP voter and sports personality from every market.
That's how you invent a brand. And manipulate the market....ESPN controls time slots and can schedule a program/team to Bolivia.
The one thing that embellishes the SEC (other than every espn propagandist) is the massive enrolment/student body..When you can shepherd a 30k herd of students to a game, that's a huge bonus for the show business aspect. Also, student athletes really like the athlete portion of the agreement...So, 5 hours a week spent being students is pretty **** enticing.
NCAA had done some damage to SEC schools prior to ESPNs all in chip move...they've done a good job with Boise, USC, Oregon, Mia, UNC, OSU and just about anyone not SEC.
FOX is trying to build the B12 brand and will ensure that side isn't flucked out of this newest 4 team play-off charade. It goes on and on and on....Bill Snyder touched on the state of things in CFB. I just hope some justice is done this yr...somehow/someway
