Two things can be true at once:
1.) SEC is still the best conference
2.) the gap wasn't as wide this year. Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas and Vandy all had embarrassing OOC losses yet they all beat at least one SEC team that finished 5-3 or better in league play.
The idea that we are playing this ACC vs SEC game shows how retarded some of you people are. Conferences are irrelevant, resumes aren't. Committee is telling you that two good wins doesn't make up for two bad losses. Sample size is twelve games. With such a limited sample size, you can't lose to two 6-6 teams. Not a hard concept to follow.
Deal with it or pound sound. Either way, stop being dumb as shit.
