Because he’s recruiting at a level that maybe the NCAA should consider looking into.
The were arguments that Georgia should have been in the playoffs. Hmmm
Couldn't it just be that the SEC and the Big 12 are far and away the best conferences in college football, and the Big 12 got the better of them this year (thankfully)?
I'm not saying that Alabama is the only good team in the SEC. My point is the conference is not far and away better than all the other conferences. That's a myth that the media and SEC fans continue to push.
Seriously? No one was arguing that Texas should have moved up after they lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game. Nope they quickly dropped them a few spots. 
Hear, hear.I'm not saying that Alabama is the only good team in the SEC. My point is the conference is not far and away better than all the other conferences. That's a myth that the media and SEC fans continue to push.
Here's my short list of why I'm so hard on the SEC.
- In no other conference do you hear media members and fans gush about how the teams of Conference X are beating up on each other. But you hear it all the time in the SEC. 3 and 4 loss teams are continually propped up as elite top 10 caliber teams.
- Just like every other conference there are only 2 or 3 SEC teams who are legitimate CFB playoff contenders from year to year. I don't need to hear fans of teams from the likes of Vandy, Florida, and S. Carolina bragging about how great their conference is. No motherfuckers, what has YOUR school done lately. STFU about Alabama's success and find some success of your own.
- Whenever one of their top teams loses a bowl game the excuses start flying about how the team wasn't motivated to play in a meaningless bowl game. If Georgia won last night people would be saying "see, this is why they should have been in the playoffs". But since they lost they use the excuse that Georgia wasn't motivated and didn't want to be there.
- They get a ton of praise for playing great defense in the SEC and everyone slams the Big 12 for their lack of defense. But can someone please point out the great QBs and imaginative offenses in the SEC. There's Tua/Bama and what else? It's easier to put up great defensive stats when no one in the conference has dynamic playmakers at QB and the OCs systems are relatively bland. The bowl season once again proved my point on this. Big 12 offenses averaged over 36 ppg against the SEC this bowl season while winning 3 of the 4 games. And this was after they had a full month to prepare for the offenses. Imagine only having 5 or 6 days to prep for these offenses week after week after week. The SEC defensive rep would take quite a hit, IMO.
- No other conference gets their losses excused like SEC schools. It goes back to my point about media bias. After Georgia lost to Bama in the SEC title game, you had homers like Kirk Herbstreit actually arguing that Georgia should have moved UP in the rankings.
- Along those same lines I particularly love the ranking scam the SEC has set up. The one where if the #15 team is playing the #10 team, the loser of the game doesn't drop because they lost to a "quality" opponent. I remember in 2014 the SEC had the Top 25 littered with "quality" 4 and 5 loss teams who were just "beating each other up". BTW....the SEC got skull-drug by damn near every other conference that bowl season as well.
Texas has to play in the Big 12 so those stats aren’t a make or break deal. There are so many things to look at besides yards allowed. Teams on the Big 12 are going to get yards.
Especially when teams are running hurry up offense. It's hard to compare those stats against teams in the Big 10 for example who are running more slow paced offenses.
Cant really argue with much of that. There are a few things I could say in reply, but meh, I hate the non Tennessee sec teams too much to defend them.I'm not saying that Alabama is the only good team in the SEC. My point is the conference is not far and away better than all the other conferences. That's a myth that the media and SEC fans continue to push.

This is key to what you said. F them hoes that dog on your team. UCF has done nothing but answer the call in almost every single case. You can’t ask for more than that.
