I disagree.
You're mistaking parity for dominance.
Just because the SEC west beats up on each other doesn't mean they're better than any other conference. The Pac 12 has been doing it too, but you don't hear anyone claiming Oregon, USC, UCLA, ASU, Zona, or Stanford would top any other conference.
Bama can't score with any of the top teams in the Pac or Clemson or FSU or poss even Georgia at full strength...
And do we really know that Ole Miss is that good? Their defense is awesome, sure but Bo Wallace is still dr jekyll and mr hyde. He played well against Bama, but it's not like he's really showed out at any other point this year except vs a turnstile TAMU defense. He's still just as likely to throw a pick 6 as he is to throw a td.
Arkansas should have beaten Bama yesterday. Their own holes kept them from doing it, but Bama isn't that good. You've got Amari Cooper and then...? Yeldon hasn't necessarily even been the best back in his own division...
And certain people in this thread have been saying that Auburn was overrated ever since the KSU game. People just didn't want to hear it because they have their SEC ear muffs on.
Same people who were still calling LSU a good team...
Or that thought South Carolina was a good win...
The top of the SEC West is good. But so are the top 2 teams in the Big 10, and the ACC, and the top 2-5 whoever they are in the Pac 12, and do you really think Bama would beat OU or Ok State?
Would they even beat Baylor at this point with how shaky their secondary looks? TCU?
Bama just isn't the same old Bama, their getting the benefit of the doubt based on their past few years of dominance but if you watched there games they aren't that good to be considered as a top 10 team.
