Guess the Golden Helmeted Wonder-boys and their fans realize now that they were extremely overrated.

Alabama was too big, too fast, and too strong for the Irish to handle. That's SEC football at its finest.

I still think ND is a good football team, but now we know what happens when good meets great.

When Musberger started prattling about Miss Alabama, I thought he was having "an up close and personal moment" a la the Olympics.  He sounded like a dirty old man, drooling over the young babes.

I'm sick of the SEC, but jeez, everyone else looks like division II in comparison. The SEC championship game is the real national championship game every year.

Who hacked my account and said it'd be a close game with ND coming out strong? LOL. Whoops. I bought into the hype for some reason.

 

Personally, all the SEC fans can say the SEC won the national championship and claim it as theirs even if they aren't Bama fans, but the SEC didn't win that game. Nick Saban and Alabama won that game. Just because an SEC team wins the national championship, doesn't mean every other team in the SEC are champions too. Alabama wins, SEC wins, does that mean LSU won too? What about Florida? Tennessee?  You see where I'm going with this... 

ESECPN likes to put all this pressure on this conference won this, that conference lost that, which makes us as fans get caught up in the conference vs conference debate, but conferences really don't mean anything other than money. Every conference has their strong teams and their weak teams. 

Just my $0.02.

I knew Notre Dame's offense would struggle if Kelly didn't install a fast pace in 37 days. I didn't see their defense getting push around and missing tackles...

As one of the new members on the SEC bandwagon (Missouri '74), I think the records speak for themselves.

It's not just seven consecutive National Championships, this is the strongest league in the country and has

been for at least a decade. There was a time when the Big 8, Big 10 or PAC 10 could have claimed the title,

but this is the SEC Era.

Sure SEC teams have won seven consecutive national titles, but only 4 schools. Florida, LSU, Alabama, and Auburn. So there is 4 (really 3, Auburn was a Scam Newton fluke) strong teams that are championship teams the past few years. Still doesn't make every other team in the SEC champions or strong teams. For the 3 strong teams, you've got 3 weak teams in Kentucky, Vandy and you can take your pick between Miss. St., Ole Miss, Tenn., and Arkansas the past few years.

Yes, you can make the argument that in the BCS era (since 1998), the SEC has more BCS Championships than any other conference, but it's not like every team has won one. You only have 5 individual teams since '98 to have won a championship. Like I said before, every conference has their strong teams and every conference has just as many weak teams. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I think Alabama is consistently one of the best teams in the nation hands down the past few years. Nick Saban, while I do not like him, I think he is one of the best coaches in the history of college football. They played like national champions last night, they deserved it. But the other SEC schools don't.

Arkansas 2010-  10-3

                2011-  11-2

                2012-   4-8

 

One bad year in the last 3 and we are thrown under the bus.  Dang sb, Have a little faith in my HOGS.  We were without a coach.

Haha, you're right, sorry about that. I didn't look up the records of each team

How about the number of weak teams in other divisions?  ACC is full of "weak teams" I would say Clemson and the Seminoles are the only decent ones, VT had its glory run.  Point is the SEC is a powerhouse and it draws recruits because of the Alabama, Florida, LSU, and now A&M!  I would agree, that Nick Satan (I mean Saban) is easy to dislike (I will not be the next Alabama Head COACH)!

I think if LSU plays Notre Dame, LSU wins. If Georgia plays Notre Dame, Georgia wins. If Notre Dame had played A&M, they would be trying to pull Johny Manziels foot out of their ass. I am glad that the Irish are close to back, but they were gonna get whupped no matter who of the top three SEC teams that they had played.

 Are you sure?  The media is still flogging Brent Musberger's comments about Katherine Webb, made during the broadcast of the game.  In fact, his comments seem to have a longer shelf life than the game itself.

ESPN issued an apology over his comments. I tell you what, her life has change dramatically now. Before the game, she didn't have a lot of followers on her personal Twitter account and now she has more than AJ McCarron....

I think more to the point is that the national rankings are hosed up. ND was rated #1 going into the game and they got their butts handed to them. Something is messed up in the way they rank the teams.

IF Brian Kelly stays, Notre Dame will win a national championship within the next three years. And it will probably be won over an SEC opponent.
