I'm not saying SC doesn't get any love. That would be foolish. Texas gets love too, Oklahoma gets love too. However, when they lose itis covered differently.Originally Posted by Mamba MVP
I guess USC doesn't get preferential treatment? Every other year it's "they may have the best CFB team/defense/offense ever"
It may be for a reason, b/c every year in the Pete Carroll era, SC has had a good to great record, the same can be said for the majority of the entire Southeastern conference for at least the last 10 years. Every year since 1998 where you pointed out, at least one of the teams that played in the SEC championship in Atlanta has been ranked in the top 5. It's consistency in performance, not preferential treatment.
Everyone talks !*#! 'cause we lost to Oregon State in Corvallis last year. Oregon State wasn't a bad team, SC never really recovered after that lossin the polls.
On the flip side, Ole Miss beat Florida at the Swamp on the same weekend SC lost, yet that loss was seen as "How strong the SEC is, top to bottom blahblah".
It's just perception.
