They haven't won a conference championship since '98. They have won an equal number of divisional championships as Georgia since that national championship appearance (2). Tennessee and Georgia are even over the past ten years in wins, both standing 5-5.<BR/><BR/>Aside from those facts which I would argue put Georgia and Tennessee more on a level, I am most incensed that you would put Cal, Oregon, etc. on the same level as UGA. A team that has won its conference championship 2 out of the past 5 years, has a BCS win to its credit, and is 8-2 in the past 10 years in bowl games, not to mention 61-17 over the 6 years that Richt has been head coach, is not in the same caliber as a team that has failed to reach the BCS since its institution and one that has not enjoyed renowned success since '01 (Oregon won the Fiesta Bowl before USC took the conference over).<BR/><BR/>That's more than ample defense to place the Dawgs on par with Tennessee. I won't dispute the other three because they have won (or got hosed and should have won) national championships within the past 4-5 years.Stanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-81749699426808446112007-07-09T14:25:00.000-05:002007-07-09T14:25:00.000-05:00Just to play Devil's advocate hasn't the SEC been ...Just to play Devil's advocate hasn't the SEC been killed recently for most teams playing pretty weak non-conference schedules? Obviously this is because the conf schedule is so tough but I think that has something to do with records since 2000.Douglas Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-77970298536226855732007-07-09T14:04:00.000-05:002007-07-09T14:04:00.000-05:00There is no need to dignify (by responding to) any...There is no need to dignify (by responding to) anyone who claims the Pac 10 is better than the SEC.<BR/><BR/>But since I'm a homer's homer and because we're just having this conversation between ourselves, it's worth mentioning that FIVE SEC teams have aggregate records that fall in the Top 20 of all Division 1-A teams since the year 2000 (the lowest of which is Tennessee at #16). Surprise, surprise: more than any other conference. <BR/><BR/>The ACC has four teams in the Top 20 (three of which they picked up from the Big East in 2004/5 so you can judge for yourself the significance of that), the Big 12 has three teams, the Big Ten two teams, and the Big East has one team. The Pac 10 has two teams, USC (at #6 overall) and Oregon (at #19).Seamus O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-44604654955788961242007-07-09T13:04:00.000-05:002007-07-09T13:04:00.000-05:00Like I said i just threw it together real quick of...Like I said i just threw it together real quick off the top of my head and it is obviously open to much criticism.
