By the Numbers
SEC West 2-5 in bowl games
SEC 10-11 vs other P5 schools for the season (Iowa vs Tennessee still to play)
It was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that Ole Miss and Miss State were grossly over rated all year. They built their reputations beating other over rated SEC teams. A&M got a boost from beating over rated USC which added to the over valuation of the SEC West. LSU was obviously down but when another SEC West school beat them it was hailed as evidence of their greatness. ESPN turned up the volume on the SEC hype as soon as they signed the big deal with them a few years back and it has carried their water ever since.
What tOSU did to Bama last night with a third string QB was epic. Most importantly, the national media realizes that they’ve been exposed for being a PR mouthpiece for the SEC and they’re scrambling to revise their views.
