I know I normally defend the SEC...

But I am feed up with the Bama bias in the SEC...pisses me off every year.

That is some people's beef with the SEC, that while they are best conference overall, since it is such a big conference, and since there are only 8 games played each season, it is not that unusual to miss a few of the better teams. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.

I'm all for a 9th conference game, but the "perminant" opponent thing had got to go.

I agree with you Bud. I will not say that the SEC doesn't produce some of the top teams in the country year in and year out, but when teams in your league (not necessarily LSU) schedule 4 cupcakes a year (I know, Oregon has adopted the "SEC" strategy in that regard lately) and some years don't even play the other top teams in the league, its easy to see how 4 or 5 or 6 teams could be ranked in the top 15 and really not be that deserving. Plus there is the fact that it's in ESPN's best interest to rank the SEC teams high to drive up their ratings, so you automatically have that built in bias working for your league. Just sayin...can't wait for some football!
