I guess it goes back to my contention that the SEC was not as strong as you perceive. There aren't enough inter-conference games among top teams to draw strong conclusions, but I didn't see the SEC west as dominant as you apparently did. Alabama was lackluster against WV, so was Auburn against KSt. LSU beat Wisconsin, but it was not impressive at all. And then the late season spate of OOC losses, including UGA and MSU to GT, Ole Miss getting whitewashed, etc., did nothing to change my perception.

The SEC West was overrated last year, and probably will be again this year.

I haven't read this whole thread, but it's very reasonable to think OSU would have slipped up with a tougher schedule. Sure the SEC wasn't as dominant last year as it has been recently, but their schedule was a joke. It was week NINE before they faced anyone worth the slightest shite, and they got them at home. The only other pretty good team they played (no, I'm not counting minnesota) before the playoffs was in the conference title game.
Granted, they won those games. But when you have 1 regular season game and a championship to REALLY get up for...that's laughable. If they had to play auburn, ole miss, msu, bama, lsu, and someone from the east it's not a stretch at all to think they'd have slipped up a time or two. And unfortunatley for the rest of america, they get just as easy a road next year, where they don't play their first really tough game until late november.

Even if they both played in the East I could definitely see UGA beating FSU..maybe Oregon. Florida's defense was dominate at times last year and I know they lost to FSU, but they also whipped UGA so you never know what could have been if they played Oregon. Tennessee would have at least given both a good game then cross division (Bama, LSU, Miss State, Ole Miss, Auburn, Arkansas) all of those teams could have definitely beaten FSU and some maybe Oregon. Let's not forget Oregon lost to ARIZONA.
