Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4694024, member: 622"] The SEC just voted down the 9 conference game schedule. Teams cannot be “elite” if their records prove otherwise. While some fans think they want better matchups, they will soon be tired of the beatdowns. Further, they will not draw new fans. See Rutgers. Losing teams lose fans and financial support. It’s easy to think your team is the exception while wanting tougher schedules until the losing happens. Besides, the SEC has not proved its depth in post season play over time. At the top, yes, but after that, not impressive for what is alleged to be the best and deepest conference. The middle and bottom of the SEC need four OOC games to fluff up their record because they cannot get enough wins in conference to prove they are mediocre, let alone elite. Besides, the big dogs in the SEC need their opponents to look respectable, otherwise they will be deemed to be beating up on 90lb weaklings, and rightfully so. [/QUOTE]
