Baseball, South Carolina!

Yeah. I'll give them baseball. But that probably has more to do with location than anything.

Who wants to play baseball in cold weather states?
 
Am I right in the article more or less saying the Big Ten has the most fans? But I would also like to know is which conferance has the biggest TV contract! Hey, if someone has it by tomorrow or when time on hands great!
 
Good point. Kentucky and Florida won a few championships.

I'll give you one guess how many championships other teams from the SEC have won.

4 titles in the last 54 years from the SEC.
 
pretty much say that about any conference

not that that would be a good way of rating a conference in a sport on its own.
 
5 SEC titles in the last 18 years is doing OK
 
Nebraska left the Big 12 because of Don Beebe letting Texas run the conference.

You could? How about the ACC, Big East, or Big Ten?
 
5 SEC titles in the last 18 years is doing OK

And the rest of the conference is absolute garbage.

I guess I missed the fluke year of Arkansas...

5 in 18 and 0 in 36 before that.

Yes, they have done great in that period! Baseball seem to have caught on late in the SEC! Georgia in 1989 was the first time a SEC school won it! Before than as a kid I remember USC dominating it along with Ariz and Ariz St and other Cali schools!
 
if you subtract the top two teams from the national championship picture? Yeah

I think that's what you were trying to do with Kentucky and Florida... maybe I misread it...in which case your math was very wrong...

take Uconn and Syracuse out of the Big East, and how many NC's do they have?
take Duke and UNC out of the ACC and how many NC's do they have?
take MSU and Michigan out of the Big Ten and how many NC's do they have?

is the pac-12 the best conference due to what UCLA used to do?

the fact is that the SEC is consistently a top 5 conference that puts great and good teams.... just like the Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, Big 12 ect... just not quite as good as the ACC at the top level.

you can try to spin the numbers

but its still absurd
 
9 of last 22 to be exact! Georgia won it in 1990!

Sorry, my bad! Bases really is non-issue when thinking of revenue! Continue guys and I'll leave you be!

not sure why anything beyond this decade is really relvant anyways..

but you might wanna check 1958 and 1978 too

Barry Bonds went to Zona st. right? I think they played stanford in the CWS one of those years, remember seeing him
 
if you subtract the top two teams from the national championship picture? Yeah

I think that's what you were trying to do with Kentucky and Florida... maybe I misread it...in which case your math was very wrong...

If you take Kentucky and Florida out of the SEC, the conference is worse than the WAC or the Mountain West.

take Uconn and Syracuse out of the Big East, and how many NC's do they have?

Georgetown, Louisville, Villanova, Marquette
take Duke and UNC out of the ACC and how many NC's do they have?

NC State, Maryland
take MSU and Michigan out of the Big Ten and how many NC's do they have?

Indiana, Ohio St., Wisconsin

is the pac-12 the best conference due to what UCLA used to do?

Straw man argument. The championships was Pavy's point. Not mine.

the fact is that the SEC is consistently a top 5 conference that puts great and good teams.... just like the Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, Big 12 ect... just not quite as good as the ACC at the top level.

They are the worst of the major conferences. And it's not even close.

you can try to spin the numbers

but its still absurd

Yes. I spin numbers. That's exactly what I'M doing. LOL.
