I think he's saying that Georgia's schedule is easy, RELATIVELY SPEAKING. Meaning compared to other SEC schedules.

Notre Dame gets overrated. They also get hammered in bowl games. The B1G gets overrated. They get hammered in BCS games. The Big 12 champion got murdered by the PAC champion. The Big 12 runner up got embarrassed by the fifth place SEC team. The SEC routinely over-performs in bowl games...because they get placed in bowls below what they deserve. The 2-team per conference maximum in BCS bowls freezes out more SEC teams from getting in.

The good news is we have an MIT-educated sports statistician who has been published in America's largest newspaper for almost 30 years now. It allows us to consider what he calculates and to rely on it, in lieu of the mad ravings of some MU lunatic who dubs himself "SaulGood".

Starting in 2014, The Liberty Bowl will be SEC vs Big 12. They will get 4th pick in the Big 12. They already have the 8th pick in the SEC. It will be the third Big 12 vs SEC bowl game.
These 2 conferences should just join forces into a 24 team superconference at this point. |

This pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the relative strength of the conferences.

I'm not certain what or when he said what he did. I'm only certain that it was far more likely to be reality than anything you've ever belched out.

I'm pretty sure I nailed it and he was dead wrong. I'm sure you'll find some other metric next year to show that the SEC isn't the best conference...only to watch them dominate yet another season. The gap is widening, by the way.

I can't wait for the SEC vs Big 12 All Star Game. Should be a good time!

EMAW playing a lot of home games. At 842 average miles, Currie probably has the team travelling on the Pembroke Country School Bluebird school bus.
