re: Best home field advantage last 5 years in the SEC

Aggie's homefield advantage was much higher than I expected.
:golf clap:

Four top 10 teams at home in 5 years isn't bad. Would've been 5 if we played home and away with Florida. Other than Georgia, there have been 12 SEC teams that finished ranked in the top 10 since 2019, and Georgia played 9 of them, plus one of them twice in the same season.

That's a narrative you people made up entirely on your own.

Tell me about it. Could you imagine if any of those teams had to play in Tuscaloosa in 2023? They would've been SLAUGHTERED, right? Right??? Oh... well, at least Bama had a bad year and lost multiple games against other SEC opponents, right? Right???

Your first good team since 2009 lost to Washington in a game that the Huskies tried desperately to hand over to you.

All I gotta say about that graph is Texas and OU are going to find out first-hand what it's like to "play on the road" week-in and week-out in this league. It will not be another day in Romper Rooom Land as they've enjoyed for their histories.

---

Texas and OU are a combined 246-106 against ATM, Arkansas and Missouri. Nary a one of those teams save Missouri has made a peep in the SEC since joining and Missouri was pretty good when UGA, UF and Tennessee all sucked and sucked hard. Both UT and OU have similar records against the historical middle of the pack teams they played week in and week out during the entirety of their history. They can't have any idea of the gauntlet they are facing looks like week in and week out...historically they played a one or sometimes 2 game season against teams that OCCASIONALLY had similar talent. They will now do so every weekend. They will do better than the other 3 because they have generally better talent but they are not going to out talent Alabama, UGA, LSU, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee on a regular basis like they have Kansas and K State and Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

Using that logic the PAC 12 was better than the Big 12 and Washington better than Texas because when they played Washington prevailed.


What that logic fails to address is Texas did indeed beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa in what, week 2 of the regular season? Then fell to Oklahoma who lost to such gauntlets as Kansas and Oklahoma State and Texas did not face a team that finished in the top 25 until they lost to Washington. They did not beat Alabama in late October after playing in Baton Rouge and Knoxville and even Lexington where the Wildcats have more talent than anyone UT and OU played regularly prior to next year that was not Texas or OU. It ain't close...the talent and the coaching in the SEC is heads and shoulders better than that in the Big 12 or ANY conference that OU and UT played in historically. At best OU is in the bottom half of the middle and Texas is around the 3rd or 4th most talented team in the conference and closed to 4 and 5 than they are to 1 and 2. It ain't the same game.

The record speaks for itself....historically Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska only played one another and a bunch of cup cakes who have never done anything significant in CFB. The numbers are readily available.

Nothing is made up.
The reality is that nothing about the big xii is adopted. No one buys the strength of the conference. It is exactly why the conference has fallen apart. Because no one had faith in it.

We don't need to make anything up when we refuse to buy the lies from butthurt Okie fans.

---

The truth of the matter is that every conference that Texas and Oklahoma have ever been in fell apart because the other programs did not have the dedication to football that it took to be competitive.....no one outside of Texas and Oklahoma cared. The SEC is the polar opposite of this....and it is the reason it is the best conference in College Football and has been form some time. If the Big whatever number you like or the SWC weren't one team conferences they would still exist as the SEC and the Big 10 do.

'

So post your stupid "numbers" for everybody to see.

---

Everyone HAS seen them....everyone knows that every conference OU and UT have belonged to or either defunct or mere images of a real conference because they only had one program in them that was competitive. When Texas joined the Big 12 that changed but Texas sucked arse almost the entirety of that time so it was still a one team conference. It just ain't the same...there is a reason the SEC is universally recognized as the best conference in CFB and it is exactly the reason OU and UT abandoned the Big 12 because they could see the writing on the wall...it is better to be a middle of the pack SEC program than a dominant program in a conference with Kansas and K State and Texas Tech....it simply is not the same, the numbers are readily available and even the powers that be at OU and UT recognize it or they would not have jumped ship.....

Here's one glaring one....in the last 50 years 5 SEC teams have won 20 National Titles. Texas and Oklahoma have combined for 4(?). If you toss Florida State and Clemson and even fricking lowly Georgia Tech into the mix, programs that SEC teams play ANNUALLY as well as a SEC schedule teams from the region that was the SEC before expansion have won 26 National Titles. If you really want to stretch it you can toss Nebraska into the OU/UT bracket. That makes it 26 - 6 over a 50 year stretch...the numbers are even worse more recently. It just ain't the same.....and anyone who has an CFB knowledge knows it just ain't the same.....

---

Also keep in mind that those 5 SEC teams who won 20 of 50 national titles also play one another EVERY YEAR! For ALL of those years UGA played UF and Auburn and recently Tennessee. For all those years Alabama played Tenessee, Auburn and LSU...and they all played one another regularly.....Texas and Oklahoma and Nebraska ONLY played one another and managed 6 titles in that period....it just aint the same.
