As I said, top to bottom, the SEC as a whole is stronger. And anyone would admit that UGA and LSU being at the bottom of the league this year is an absolute abberation.
The ACC has strengthened greatly, and I think they are the #2 conference in the country. The selection committee must agree as they awarded more regional host sites again this year to the SEC and most likely will hand out more at-large bids to them as they do every year.
I am disputing your claims that the Big Sky and Pacific Rim of Fire Conferences are good simply because they have one good team in them.
Championships mean very little in the argument when it comes to ranking a conference top to bottom. Frankly, I think it makes my point even clearer that most of these other baseball conferences have one super nova that outshines all of the other teams in their respective conference. How does a title won by Rice, Cal State-Fullerton or Oregon State vindicate those teams' conferences?
I don't know about you, but the more I think about Oregon State, I think I feel some serious Beaver Karma going here.
And of course, this is just my opinion. I think you have documented your argument well, I just disagree that titles mean that the team's conference is also great. |
