2011 SEC Football (Home of 7 of 13 BCS Championships including the last 5)

Damn! What's up with Nutt's Rebels? Vandy took it to ' em today 30-7! They keep this up, we'll have to start callin' them Brown Bears again, or something else that's brown. ;). :D
 
Its ok, we in the SEC still love Kentucky.. And Vanderbilt.. (We need all the academic help we can get!)
And they actually make it look like the conference has basketball ;)

Though sometimes I've wondered how Kentucky would fair on a regular basis in the ACC or Big East (as opposed to padding it's win totals in the SEC).

Whatever. You keep telling yourself they pad their wins. KY's SOS is always at the top, so it can't be too much padding.

I'm not, but look at Miami as an example. They owned the Big East, but the move to the ACC sent them to mediacrity. UKy could be the same in another conference or remain great. Their success in the NCAA tournament shows their good, but would be curious to see how they do elsewhere.

Better example, Nebraska was great in the Big 2 (okay, big 8). But once the Texas & Oklahoma schools joined up, their run quickly ended.

As it is, I love Wildcat Basketball, would make me forget how pathetic the Dawgs were when growing up.

Every year though they play OOC games of big schools and are about 50-50 in those games which is expected.
They play UNC every year the last few and have lost the last 2 I think, but this year will be different.

Nebraska's run ended when Tom Osborne retired and they brought in a bunch of stiffs as head coach. Same thing happened to Oklahoma when Barry Switzer was forced out (for good reasons unrelated to football). A few years ago they brought back Osborne as AD, and now Nebraska is a power again with his man Pellini running the show.
 
al.com: Birmingham : Alabama's the team the rest of the SEC hates

Every conference has one.

A football team all the members hate. A team whose game date is mentally, if not physically, circled every year.

In the Big 12 (The Little 9 and shrinking), it is Texas.

In the Pac-12, it's Southern Cal.

In the Big Ten, with its 12 teams (guess math isn't their strong suit), it alternates between Ohio State and Michigan -- mostly Ohio State for the past decade.

In the ACC, it's Duke. No one said this was just about football.

In the Big East, it is UConn. See above plus football.

And in the SEC, almost sacred territory for college football, where tailgating and despising go hand in hand, it is Alabama.

In a league where recruiting is a top-shelf sport and too often basketball games are a place to discuss spring practice, the words Bama, Crimson Tide, Tide, and Roll Tide all leave a bitter taste in the mouths of people from other SEC schools.

Why? Because Alabama is a little cocky, and its football team is so successful that the school is everyone's rival.
