Listening to the Stillman and Callahan show for a break from ESPN and Callahan says it is due to depth. Stillman very strongly says it's close but the SEC is not. He sites not winning the title, the West collapse during bowl season last year, UF, Arky and UT not competing well agains Big 10, Pac 12 and ACC schools recently and some other kind of off topic weird reasons.
I think the SEC is the best. I do think others have closed the gap, obviously FSU and OSU and Oregon, but the Big Ten and Pac 12 and Big 12 overall have come a long way via recruiting.
If you took Arkansas and South Carolina and put them in any other conference they compete for the title of that conference regularly. If you take the 3rd-12th best of the SEC and put them against other conferences I think the SEC wins 8-9 of those year in and year out. I think not having a team win it all and the bad bowl season really threw fuel on the fire obviously, which is fine with me because UT beating Oklahoma will allow us to contribute to the reassurance that we are the best conference over the next couple of seasons.
So what do you guys think is the conference still the best over all or has someone passed us in the last year or two and still better this year and could/will they be a better conference over the next few years?
