re: My prediction for the 2015 SEC championship game

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.

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.
