All you hear these days is how great the SEC West is, and how the division's only non-SEC West Loss is Arkansas losing to Georgia (an SEC East team).  I get so tired of hearing this and how "GREAT" the SEC is, and how teams in the SEC West have 'beaten all these GREAT teams.'  Let's take a closer look at all these "great teams" the SEC West has beaten up on, shall we?...

The #1 team in the SEC West division at the moment is Ole Miss (4-0 in the Conference, 7-0 Overall). Here's Ole Miss's W's...

Boise State (5-2)... Sorry, but that program isn't quite the same now that Chris Petersen is gone.
Louisiana-Lafayette (4-3)... Who?
Memphis (3-3)... This isn't basketball; this is football.

The #2 team in the SEC West division is Mississippi State (3-0, 6-0). Here's Miss. St's W's...

Southern Miss (3-4)... Who?
UAB (4-3)... Who?
South Alabama (4-2)... Who?

The #3 team in the SEC West is Alabama (3-1, 6-1). Here's Alabama's W's...

West Virginia (5-2)... 1st legit W and it came 7 games/teams in...
Florida Atlantic (3-4)... Who?
Southern Miss (3-4)... Who?

The #4 team in the SEC West is Auburn (2-1, 5-1). Here's Auburn's W's...

San Jose State (3-3)... Who?
Kansas State (5-1)... 2nd legit W and it came 11 games/teams in...
Louisiana Tech (4-3)... Who?

The #5 team in the SEC West is LSU (2-2, 6-2). Here's LSU's W's...

Wisconsin (4-2)... 3rd legit W, but let's not forget Wisconsin was UP 24-7 in the 3Q! LSU didn't win it; Wisconsin lost it!
Sam Houston State (3-4)... Who?
Louisiana-Monroe (3-3)... Who?
New Mexico State (2-6)... Who?

The #6 team in the SEC West is Texas A&M (2-3, 5-3). Here's A&M's W's...

Lamar (5-3)... WHO?!
Rice (3-3)... Who?
SMU (0-6)... Who?

The last place team in the SEC West is Arkansas (3-4, 0-4) (LOL @ Bert). Here's Arkansas' W's...

Nicholls State (0-8)... WHO?!
Texas Tech (3-4)... Yeah this is a Power 5 school, but Texas Tech is nothing special.
N. Illinois (5-2)... Nice MAC win.

So why is it that the SEC West is "great" when their only "great" wins are from beating up on each other, yet every other conference (especially the Big Ten) is "horrible/awful/no-good" when teams like Ohio State and Michigan State's "only good wins" are from "beating up on Big Ten teams"?!?!

The SEC isn't beating up on anyone impressive other than THEMSELVES!  And If we want to jump all over their nuts for beating each other and saying 'Oh look at how great/strong the SEC is', then you can't say the Big Ten, or any other conference for that matter, as 'Weak' because "their only good Wins come from beating other Big Ten teams!"  It's the SAME THING that's going on in the SEC!
