I have a good friend who coaches a very big time College Baseball team in a conference west of the Mississippi. In recent years, this team's archrival was in the CWS. I spoke with him during the CWS and I commented "I guess you are for any team but "team X" (their archrival). He said, "I'm for any team that is not in the SEC, we have got to have someone outside the SEC to win." I told him I was surprised since he recruited against his archrival and a CWS title would be obvious recruiting ammo against him. The coach didn't back off. "Nope, I'm pulling for my archrival versus the SEC."
Now before anyone demands that I name the schools, it ain't happening. This guy is a good friend and imagine the storm that would hit if Cohen was quoted as saying he was pulling for Ole Miss to win the CWS. The point is that people who say the SEC overestimates itself are wrong. The SEC scares the rest of the country in football and baseball.
