Has the SEC hatred lessened the last couple of years??

[Sleepy T]

If I had to rank conferences THIS YEAR, here is how they would stack up:

1. ACC
2. B1G/SEC (B1G has a soft schedule so it is really hard to tell how good they are overall. Everyone is saying they are overrated and that could be true, we will see).
4. Pac12
5. Big12

Agreed. The SEC has been the best conference over the last 10-15 years, no question. But the gap is closing and has been for several years. Especially in the middle and bottom of these conferences. The talent and coaching is about as good. Unless you are an elite team with elite players across the board COUPLED with very good coaching ('Bama, tOSU, maybe a couple others) teams and conferences are going to be more equal, which is exactly what we are seeing.
