WETSU Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 4 hours ago, DB2point0 said: I just said the sec is top heavy. I don’t care what the pac12 is or isn’t, nor the acc. We were talking about the sec. it is and has been a top heavy league. back to the original point now. The sec has more draft picks because it is in a region where better football is played in HS. More top recruits staying home to play college ball. From Texas to Florida the southeastern quarter of the US is loaded with talent and the sec benefits the most from it. What makes the SEC top heavy? And I compared the others because its relevant. Thats how you tell if its top heavy. Its not top heavy just because DB says so lol. Based off the other conferences, its hard to definitely say its top heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my own issues with the SEC perception, but they have never been with the teams at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said earlier that every conference throughout every decade has traditionally had 3-5 teams ahead and thats about it. Parity has never been that great in college football.

Every team in a conference cannot be good at the same time. Oklahoma State, Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech will not all be good at the same time. Someone has to win and lose. Just like Ole Miss, Miss State, and Arkansas can't all be good at the same time or Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe if some other team could win it outside the same 4-5 teams that have the last 20 years or so..... look at the 90’s, you finally have gone back far enough to get outside those 5, Tennessee won 3 in the 90’s. Still it was Alabama and Florida winning the rest of the 90’s championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it was Alabama and Florida winning the rest of the 90’s championships. I just showed you thats fairly normal among conferences. The only true outlier is the big 12 with their 8 but thats negated by OU winning more than half the titles over that span. I guess what I'm saying is if one is top heavy so are all the others but if all the others are that way should we even designate one as top heavy or should we just assume thats the normal in college football?

If they aren’t, they don’t have a true legitimate national championship contender under our current system. Think about one of the most diverse conferences right now when it comes to parody... the PAC-12... no one is running that conference right now which leads to no real NC hopes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not nothing! With the right leadership, there's no reason why the Vols can't be a powerhouse. Centrally-located, solid facilities, rich history (except for recent years), and Tennessee is absolutely beautiful in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuddyGarrity Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Tennessee has been a joke ever since they got rid of Fulmer, they just can't get right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
