Southeasten Conference (SEC) still owns NCAA Division I College Football, bitches!

And all of this was confirmed right after Alabama made a freaking example out of North Dame to win the NCAA championship, 42-14.

Now don't get it twisted. I'm so NOT a fan of the Crimson Tide by any means. But LSU does play in the same SEC conference. And I actually enjoy the idea that the SEC is the definite most hated conference ever in NCAA Football today.

Since 2007, the NCAA championship has been dominated by a SEC teams:

2006-07: Florida

2007-08: LSU

2008-09: Florida

2009-10: Alabama

2010-11: Auburn

2011-12: Alabama

2012-13: Alabama

Comments and opinions please. cool

It's the truth. I'm a South Carolina fan. The SEC isn't quite as strong

as in years past but Nick Saban has something special going on at

Bama. Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, TexasA&M, and Alabama

had good seasons. Yes there are a lot of SEC haters out there

especially in ACC territory but ain't nothing can be done about

until you beat the SEC in the big game.

Darth Saban took it again this year. As an SEC fan, I guess I should be happy but I will be happier when the Ol' Ball Coach, Jadeveon Clowney, and the rest of my Gamecocks take the trophy next year!

SEC's only f*** up thus far was having Missouri as a member. disbelief lol

But at least they have Texas A&M that prove their point that they belong in the SEC by given Alabama their only regular season lost. LSU, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, & Mississippi will improve during the off season. Vanderbilt is a wildcard because they're the lone private school in the SEC, but they're still have an interesting team. Arkansas, Auburn, & Ole Miss are now rebuilting. Kentucky still sucks ass!

Hands down, up and across the SEC is the dominant football conference, only those who like to argue to hear themselves talk will say otherwise . When it comes to basketball , Kentucky has the crown for now but THIS current team will not get past week one of the tournament , I have a hunch the hated Blue Devils will reclaim the trophy against the Hoosiers but that is two months down the line.

As a lifelong ND fan, alum of an SEC school, and Southerner, Every nightmare I've had about this matchup since Oregon and K-State lost came true. Notre Dame sent its best team in 20 years to a "go get your shinebox" beating, worse than any Irish team has taken in bowl history.

The Tide O-Line got every block they wanted. Lacy and Yeldon exposed Te'o and the overmatched LBs. McCarron exploited a depleted, young secondary. And that's just on DEFENSE. The Irish Offense was Easy Money for the Tide D. The Irish coach's only solution was to try to talk the Tide into going home for the second half.

The only thing that would have changed with Oregon or Kansas State would have been the margin of victory. The SEC has been the best conference in the country for 20 years. Including the Tide's rout of the Hurricanes in 1992, by my count, the SEC has won 11 titles (not counting TWO undefeated Auburn teams denied a shot at the title). At no time have any of the power conferences been nearly as good top to bottom.

The speed, power, depth, conditioning, coaching, and quality of competition are unmatched. For ND, the Big 10 teams, an overrated Sooners squad, Stanford and USC could not replicate that. They got their first taste of unbridled SEC power since 2006 . . . and that Sugar Bowl against LSU was over when it was announced.

And there's more where that came from. For ND and everyone else who steps up. This isn't about 7 years. It's about a generation.

Hotty Toddy, baby!

Oh Hell no. no no no! hmph! This is the team to watch for next season.

Yep. the Northwestern Wildcats. While the SEC was making bitches out the other big non-conference teams (Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma). Northwestern put the beatdown on their two SEC opponents this year. hammer chair punch bitchfight woot! excited dancing jig highfive (Okay, so those two SEC opponents were Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Sure, it's not 'Bama, the Gators, LSU, or against Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Football, but they beat one of them in a bowl game and the other team went to a bowl later, so that's gotta count for something, doesn't it? shrug )

As much as I'd like to push my alma mater, this team seriously could break the SEC streak for the national title next year.

Ohio State went undefeated this year but was ineligible for post-season play becuase of some gift scandal by some prior players and the last coach covering it up. Nevertheless, Urban Meyer is now their coach and he previously led the Florida Gators to a national championship when they clobbered Ohio State back in 2007-2008. Now he's bringing his SEC style to the B1G Ten.

What is Northwestern? An airline service. lol

Ohio State has a cupcake ass schedule next season and could be

in the title chase. I'm not sure if it's them or another school but

i think OSU possibly has 8 home games next season. Their qb

is big time. Ole Miss ? pleeeze. One thing they want miss is their

annual ass whupping from Alabama. South Carolina has had

back to back 11 win seasons. If they can find a rb to replace

Marcus Lattimore(injured sophomore Brandon Wilds could be the guy)

they could be high steppin again next season with the nation's best

defensive player Javadeon Clowney.

Northwestern and OSU as the teams to watch next year.

No, Huey. No way. They'll get the same beating ND took.

Northwestern should have lost that game to the best Vandy team in modern history, at home. They struggled with an undermanned Penn State. They could get to a BCS bowl, maybe, but against the SEC champ or runner-up they'd fall, and likely fall hard.

OSU's talent really isn't that much better than ND's (if it is in fact better). The last time they played an SEC team in a title game they got pummeled, and the Tide are much more physical and well-coached than those Gators were. 13-0 was a reflection on the state of the Big 10 this year. They're BCS-worthy but until further notice a team has to be capable of beating the SEC Champion . . . and they don't have it. They may have stayed within 2 scores of Bama this year, and I'm being generous. They are 2 years away.

Unless Oregon finds a way to outrace an SEC team, we're likely looking at 8 in a row.

Nobody saw Johnny Football coming in 2012. Clowney faces long odds, though he could be the best player in football next year. Unless SC wins 10 games or more, he's likely getting a free trip to NYC and that's it.

conference wide, the SEC is only getting stronger...the east is competetive again...new additions of A&M and Missouri lead to expansive recruiting opportunities...even when the SEC is it's own worst enemy and there are no undefeated teams in conference play, no other conference can take advantage of it and step up...

the conference attracts talent, kids pass up starting positions at other schools to play back up at premiere SEC programs...the media's hype of SEC dominance and the SEC's actually living up to most of that hype make it a recruiting powerhouse...they've got other conferences beat before the game even hits the field...

Go Dawgs!

The arms race in the SEC is so fierce -- facilities, coaching, recruiting, boosters -- it raises the level of competition all around. With the time, money, passion and talent level being so high, the league champ has run such a gauntlet that it can handle whoever the rest of the country sends at them with ease.

The only comparison I can draw is the NFC's dominance from the mid-80's to the late 90's. For most of that time, San Francisco or the NFC East winner won all the titles.

My alma mater, Vanderbilt, was good enough to run off the longest league game winning streak in 2012. They would have contended for a title in at least half of the other conferences in the country. And they're the 4th-best team in the 2d-best division in the SEC.

2006-07: Florida

2007-08: LSU

2008-09: Florida

2009-10: Alabama

2010-11: Auburn

2011-12: Alabama

2012-13: Alabama

And go back even further . . .

1992 Alabama

1996 Florida

1998 Tennessee

2003 LSU

And that doesn't count Auburn's TWO undefeated seasons where they were denied a shot at the title, 1993 and 2004 (when they probably should have played for it).

There were three other consistently strong programs during that period, FSU (2 Chips), Nebraska (3) and USC (2).

But that's 11 of the last 21 national championships, and 9 of the 15 BCS title winners.

Arguably, this is the most dominant era of football for one conference in history, unless you want to count the run of titles the Ivy League Schools had in the 1800's - early 1900's!

Unless Oregon finds a way to outrace an SEC team, we're likely looking at 8 in a row.

I was sort of clowning around about Northwestern winning the national championship, but there is a not-so-remote possibility that Northwestern or Ohio State could be competing for the national championship while the SEC is completely shut out. Here's how:

The new college football playoff system doesn't begin until the 2014 season, so there's one more year of BCS wackiness. The SEC may be the best, strongest, most dominating football conference from top to bottom, but their very greatness could cost them the national championship. Let's say Alabama beats LSU next season, but Alabama loses to Texas A&M, who in turn loses to LSU. Meanwhile, Florida beats South Carolina, but Georgia beats Florida, and South Carolina beats Georgia. All of those teans could be ranked in the top ten with one loss apiece, with two of those teams having to play for the SEC championship.

Meanwhile, let's say Oregon and Stanford run roughshod over the Pac-12 until they play each other late in the season with the winner of the Oregon-Stanford game going undefeated. At the same time Ohio State gets to feast on their Leaders division opponents with middling teams like Purdue and Wisconsin, crappy teams in Illinois and Indiana, and a decimated Penn State squad, with their only real tests being road games against Northwestern and Michigan with the B1G Ten Championship game being either a rematch against those said teams or Nebraska.

Then don't forget Notre Dame. Sure, they got their asses handed to them by Alabama, but they could repeat their regular season performance from this season, with their biggest tests coming from Michigan, Oklahoma and Stanford.

You could then end up with at least five teams from the SEC with one loss apiece while the national championship game could pit an undefeated Ohio State team against an undefeated Notre Dame/Stanford/Oregon team. doh!
