Parody? In a division with Kentucky, Tennessee and Vandy? Parody can just be a euphemism for "This division sucks".
I am not saying that there isn't any good teams in the conference. But all the hype about how it's the best from top to bottom is ridiculous. Auburn and Alabama are very good teams. LSU hasn't shown me shit and are beyond lucky to be undefeated. CBS hypes the conference because it has a contract with them.
It is the best conference from top to bottom. All other conferences have at most2 powerful teams and the rest of the division is full of powder puffs. Who the hell else is in Boise States conference that is good enough to hold Nick Saban's jock strap? Who else other than Florida State and VT are in the ACC that can clean the mud off of the Razorback's cleats? Nobody son! Nobody.
And the PAC 10s greatness is directly related to how good or bad USC is.
Face it, the SEC is the toughest conference there is. I didn't see anyone else in the other conferences up to the task of knocking off bama this year and florida the year before that and LSU sevearl years ago.
