I gotta give you credit for a novel argument but your assumptions are as whacky as your political prowess and sadly your political logic. You got me wrong and you sure don't represent yourself in a way I can relate.
You too are just as guilty of blowing smoke up people's asses as most SEC pundits here who's fanfare and rally cry is just like the political bullshit you accuse me of mimicking and once more, typical to form you do it without a shred of proof that can't be rebutted easily.
Perhaps an excerpt from an earlier post I made here to clarify.... first your homie's comments.

VOR, Thank you so much for including LSU.... it jogged my memory...
Now my comments....
You forgot something Ferris, (as usual you tell 1/2 truths)
Appalachian St., Troy, N.Texas, Tulane
LSU's non-conf. games. Not even another SEC team shames itself with such lowlife competition as LSU this year. Throw in Miss., Miss St. and Alabama (all @ LSU) and they need only 2 more wins to get to 9 for the year. They win just one of the 3 you mentioned and that puts them at 10! I'm sure that will keep them well ranked. Now that's some slick scheduling. What a breeze. Looks good in the polls too.
And kudos to you for some fine cherry picking the facts just right! I must say y'all got your game down pretty good. The comparisons between you and the way the SEC works it are astonishingly similar... "stylewise."
Where do they teach you to blow smoke up people's asses so well?
Anyone who tries to say that is anything but factual or that it has anything to do with leftwing is a hopeless cause.
When are you SEC apologists going to stop using your own conference as a COVER for taking the easy road year after year? As long as there are Mississippi St's and Vandy's and a few more boring opponents on a schedule that features Sun Belt and 1-AA opponents you will never prove to anyone how hard you have it year after year after year.... and anyone that believes your BS needs a reality check. You guys sure don't have a clue. You use a competitive few games every year to explain your lack of competition everywhere else then try to accuse others of exactly the things you are doing to justify that!
Pew! Something smells like a big pile of southern fried BS that's been left out in the sun too long.
hno:
See how you guys like to distort the truth?
According to your thinking, Bear Bryant doesn't deserve to be in the HOF or anywhere on the record books because the SEC sucked the whole time he coached Alabama. How could anybody be as dominant unless their conference sucked?
So the truth finally comes out. You SEC guys have known this all along and that's how can put USC down. Bunch of real sharps.
The SEC owns Ohio St, not the Big Ten. Take Ohio St out of the equation and you will see the Big 10 actually has a winning record against the SEC in bowl games. Not to mention they get to play most of the time in their home state. Lets see how well the SEC teams do playing in Soldier Field on New Year's day.
Don't take it so personal dealerguy. I think what the guy meant by Ohio St. being an easier win for USC was that USC is pretty severe vs OOC opponents who rank -- especially (but not limited to) playing at home.
I also think that the conference is tightening up a lot. More teams have been ramping up in every department since PC made them look so inept. Nevertheless, you can't ingnore teams like Oregon and Cal the way people have done in knee-jerk fashion any more. ASU is right behind that group and possibly the most dangerous because of their head coach. Speaking of head coaches etc. UCLA is also destined to be one of the "elite" in due time, probably sooner than a lot of USC fans would like to see. I think USC's dominance in the local So. Cal. recruiting market -- it's days are numbered.
One thing I PROMISE YOU is that when these changes happen, and you start seeing 5 or maybe even 6 Pac-10 teams ranked in the top 20, NOBODY in this conference will be dodging competition and pointing at all the hard conference games they have to play every year as an excuse for scheduling a bunch of patsies the rest of the time. When the Big-10 recovers I doubt you will be hearing anything like that from them either. I am so tired of listening to all the whiners in the SEC.
Three teams that demonstrated last year that when one key player goes out they fold their tents for good. Oregon is the only team besides USC I respect. They actually had an epiphany that playing defense can aide you win ball games. This is why I played them over the season total. I just don't think this Oregon team can beat UF, GA, LSU, Alabama, and Tenn in a 5 game series.
I personally wager on teams that I think have a higher percentage of winning. This 5 game series mentality is the foundation to my capping.
So this is in effect my reasoning behind my statement that Oregon which I conclude is the 2nd best team in the Pac-1 will be in effect the 6/7th best team in the SEC.
Not that you won't agree with any of this (or Conan) but these are my two cents.
Just to clarify a bit. My earlier leftist statement simply meant that you take the elemental approach of grouping things or generalizing...nothing more nothing less. Stating that SEC teams simply doesn't want to schedule tough non-conference opponents is obviously false and reaps of jealousy. I'm an ACC guy (being a UM alum) I have no agenda's with these silly topics.
Its simple if Oregon had an SEC schedule they would have no chance of finishing in the Top 10 little less a BCS game. This coming from an individual that has deep respect for the Ducks (having made a bet on their win total).
GL to you Conan (and yes its sincere)
Conan,
Dont even respond to those retards. Pete Carroll said after they beat Okalhoma in the Orabge bowl, he knew before, during and after that the PAc 10 is the best, and that OU was far from there toughest game. USC will beat the piss out of Ohio St.
Pac 10 teams are more suited to beat USC than any SEC team, or Ohio State. ITs called handicapping 101, it carrys over to basketball when conf foes are use to stuff that is run, its why confrence dogs getting many points is always live.
