Mark Packer on the SEC

[KBVol]

Saying that the SEC is "Alabama and everybody else....." by referencing this stat....since 2011, SEC is 17-24 vs Top 25 out of conference opponents. Discuss.

Hard to argue.

 

[photovol]

pretty much agree

 

[I Love Lamp]

Would be interesting to see that same stat for other conferences because the SEC typically has better out of conference schedules than other conferences.

The other Power 5 typically play weaker out of conference opponents.

I am sure that stat would tell a different story if it was drilled down to ranked vs ranked.

Surely that can't include bowl season?

I mean, I think only Wisconsin and LSU fans are going to remember Game 1 come Game 3.

SEC hasn't killed it during bowl season past two years, but we were still 0.500 or better I thought.

9-2 in bowls last year.

Todd Packer? Didn't know he was an analyst.

Like to see a little more detail on the 17-24 vs ranked opponents

That guy spent ten minutes talking about the fact that "Tennessee put the player that caused Chubb's injury" on the TN vs GA ticket. :blink: He's an idiot.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Since 08 SEC has had 4 different teams play for the MNC. Other conferences max out at 1.

So he's using only their top 25 ranked teams but every team in our conference. Seems legit.

Call in and tell him to get back on the air when he wants to compare apples to apples.

Never heard of her

Everyone is an expert

The SEC has been so dominant for so long that every hater is going to pick out every stat that goes against the SEC and shout it from the rooftops!

 

[onevol74]

Having one dominant team does effect the image of the conference overall.

This could also mean sec schedules more difficult opponents than other conferences. Would be interesting to see the how many top 25 teams the sec plays compared to other conferences over the past few years.

I like Mark Packer, he call it like it is, everything in proved on the field, the only poles that count are the committee's. This is going to be a strange CFB year, a lot of teams from FCS and FBS playing goo ball that normally are not your top tier.

Go Vols!

Alabama seems to do pretty well against other SEC teams.
