Week #9 -Games of Interest
Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
The SEC is clearly superior to all other football conferences. There is no debate. They had 6 of the top 10 before the bowls. 4 of them won including the National champs. They've won 5 or 6 National championships in a row. Alabama was lucky to even play in the Championship game and Notre Dame did not even belong on the same field with them. It was like JV vs Varsity. Sorry I'm no big SEC fan but facts are facts.

Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
Playing without academic standards can put you way ahead of those that do.
Or, as they like to say in the SEC, "If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin!"

Rod,
The only big time schools that pretend to have academic standards are Stanford and ND.
For the record, bama graduates 70% since Sabins arrival.
No sanctions.

Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
This is exactly right. BC, Northwestern, Stanford, Vandy, and ND are really the only schools that pretend to do it the right way in that their admissions department does something other than rubber stamp the football applicants. Even good schools like Michigan completely separate the football kids from the general pop. I had a buddy play football at Michigan and he fought tooth and nail with the coaching staff to major in something other than the fluff majors. The SEC is no different than Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, etc. They just do it better.seanmc94 wrote:Rod,

Joe Namath couldn't get into Maryland, his first choice.
He managed to graduate from Alabama.
His combined SAT score was 736.
Then again, fictional Forest Gump graduated from Alabama.

Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
So you are knocking Bama b/c of a guy who graduated in the 60's and a movie character?

Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
I can't be bothered arguing with someone defending the SEC's academics.

Re: Week #9 -Games of Interest
Namath got a 736 combined SAT? Wow. Dumber than a brick. I think you get that by just signing your name! Haha. Hell, I got a 664 in math, and only answered 70% of the questions, due to never looking at the time I had left.

Watch the Namath documentary on HBO.
He is exactly as you said.
I doubt he's ever had an abstract thought in his life.

All I'm saying is make a current and relevant argument. Don't give me one student from an era 40 years ago and a movie character. Next you will be knocking MIT for not admitting Wil Hunting as a student

I'd go easy on joe willy. He's no rocket surgeon; but he's probably seen more a$$ than a toilet seat.
