The SEC sucked this year

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Not at all.

Here are Iowa's recruiting classes according to 247 since 2010:

2010 - 39
2011 - 27
2012 - 40
2013 - 58
2014 - 59
2015 - 59

This is for a toasty average of 47. MSU's average during that same period is 26, and over the past 3 years, MSU's is about 19-22. Iowa only finished ahead of MSU in recruiting one time & that was in 2011, but hasn't finished within 10 spots of MSU in any other year.

Basically, MSU's roster has far, far, far more talent on it than Iowa's. But hey, Keep freaking about over 2 homes games. It really doesn't tell the story.

Auburn's recruiting rankings from 2012-2015 are:

2012: 11
2013: 8
2014: 6
2015: 8

Auburn is better than State right? How in the world could we have ever beaten this team on their home field.

Florida isn't close to the 2nd best team in the SEC. IMO, from the eye test, they are no better than 7th or 8th.

Tennessee, LSU, Mississippi State, Arkansas, & A&M would all likely beat Florida if they played tomorrow. Auburn may as well, but it's really not worth arguing them.

I think a better gauge is "how many points [a team] could score on Florida?"... that D is legit.

note: that offense is offensive....

[whatever]

I agree the league is down. The SEC's 2nd best team got their ass kicked by a 3 loss Memphis team, the SEC had 4 games that went into overtime vs FCS teams (losing 1), Arkansas lost to Toledo and Texas Tech at home, etc... The SEC West was 2-5 in bowl games last year with the top 3 teams getting blown out, pretty sure you guys thought the SEC would sweep all 7 games.

Also, looks like the ACC AD's are hiring circles around the SEC with Fuente/Babers/Richt/Mendenhall looking better on paper/Resume than Odom/Muschamp/Smart
