Keeping thinking the SEC is still something special. You say "parody". its actually weak. Just like the ACC and B1G. There is a parody among conferences, period.
As far as Pruitt facing weak offenses, the fact is his defense at FSU held several ACC teams to less than 20 pts, and less than 10, which is a great result regardless. FSU curb stomped Clemson and the answer was they werent that good, then they beat OSU in a BCS game. FSU curb stomped Duke in the ACC Champ game which everyone laughed at, then A&M barely beat Duke in the bowl game.
FSU's D performed better against the run in the champ game vs Auburn than Bama did in the Iron Bowl. The fact is Pruitt did well at FSU because of the system they implemented and the talent they had (several guys in the NFL now). You really think the Gamecocks Offense is above mediocre? Yeah, no. What you are seeing is Pruitt doesnt have the talent at UGA that he did at FSU, period.
Look at what teams have put the most guys in the NFL in the last 5 years.
