SEC Snobbery

[harveycmd]

Thinking about SEC snobbery has me wondering. The SEC has the most titles this century, but do they have the best team? Probably not. I think Everyone would agree that Georgia's best team was 2021, but they weren't undefeated; they lost to Bama in the SEC title game. Problem there was that they didn't have a difference maker at QB. LSU's 2019 offense was among the best, but they really weren't that great defensively. Bama's 2015 team was complete, but they don't really seem to stack up with the greatest, most talented teams of all time. Bama's 2020 team was a great offensive team, but it was the weird Covid year that's hard to figure. 

So we go back to the first decade of this century. USC won a title outright, and shared (claimed) another. That said, it was almost universally claimed at the end of the 2005 season that the Trojans that year were the greatest college football team ever. Problem is they lost the title game to someone else.
