SEC Bias
http://www.thepostgame.com/commentary/20...on-sec-bcs

Pulled this from the above website, the article was written in 2012:

Judging by inter-conference records -- that is to say actual games as opposed to media guesswork and bestowed rankings -- the SEC plays other BCS conferences about equally. Witness the record since the start of the BCS era in 1998:

SEC vs. PAC-12 regular season: 10-12
SEC vs. PAC-12 bowl games: 1-0
SEC vs. Big 12 regular season: 6-10
SEC vs. Big 12 bowl games: 21-8
SEC vs. ACC regular season: 42-36
SEC vs. ACC bowl games: 16-9
SEC vs. Big 10 regular season: 7-4
SEC vs. Big 10 bowl games: 19-19
SEC vs. Big East regular season: 16-15
SEC vs. Big East bowl game: 3-8


Keep in mind most bowll games are in SEC terroritary

I'll bet Louisville vs. Kentucky had a lot to do with that.

Looks like that's not correct, per the stats.

Excuse me, the PAC was 12-11 in total games as well but the BE was 23-19.

Louisville was 9-6 vs Kentucky between 1998-2012 but UL didn't join the BE until 2005. From 2005-12 UL was 4-4 against UK. So the BE was 19-15 vs the SEC in non UL/UK match ups.

They first met in 1912 & UK leads the series 14-13 but UL has won the last 4.

The article covers 1998-2012.

Louisville leads the modern series which began in 1994 13-8. Remember the first three games were forced to be held in Lexington. That scenario and the Kragthorpe sinking of the Titianic in Louisville are the only things keeping Louisville from doubling up KY in the series. If you want to count the post world war 1 years before they allowed black kids to play then it is 14-13. It's kinda like the 5 national titles UK won in basketball. No black kids and 8 teams selected to the NCAA tourney. Ahahahahaaaaaaaaa. Go Big Blew and coach Cow. All this being said, I do expect UofL to struggle in Lexington this year. UK and Tennesssee are going to surprise in the SEC in 2015. If not - They need coaches. They have players. UK at field level last year showed me speed, strength and talent. They were out coached.

RE: SEC Bias
Here's a nice article from Grantland.com

2015-college-football-preview-SEC-West

[Image: 15-8-2-conference-power-chart.png?w=694]

In it is this explanation of SEC West computer rankings last year:

Quote:The main reason the SEC West came out so far ahead of the pack in those numbers comes back to the fact it was the only division in 2014 that wasn’t dragged down by a surefire patsy that fattened up the records of every other team — no Colorado or Wake Forest, no Illinois or Purdue, no Kansas or Iowa State, no Vanderbilt or Kentucky. Outside of A&M’s no-show in Tuscaloosa, the average margin of victory in West-on-West matchups was 11.6 points, and 11 of 21 games were decided by a touchdown or less.

His basic point was that the SEC West had PARITY, but that doesn't mean the same thing as QUALITY - as bowl results for the top 5 teams from that division clearly showed.

What does that mean for this season? IMO, not much, except this - use your brain: if people are saying an entire division is head and shoulders above the rest of the field, you can be sure those people are wrong.
