You can see why the SEC really didn’t want that 9th intra-conference game.
Other than LSU clubbing the hollowed-out husk of a Clemson powerhouse and Auburn stumbling past a mediocre Baylor team, this is who the SEC beat in Week 1: Arkansas-Pine Bluff, UTEP, Tennessee State, Texas State, Missouri State, East Carolina, Furman, Kent State, Youngstown State, North Alabama, Austin Peay, Louisiana-Monroe and Florida Atlantic. Average margin of victory against those 13 opponents: 46.7 points.
East Carolina. I remember East Carolina. I ran track against them once. I always enjoyed their name. Anyhow, it’s been fascinating to see how the other conferences can suddenly keep pace with the SEC now that everyone is openly paying their players.
Big Ten looks less dominant than SEC out of the gate
I wonder why…
