This saves them from really being humiliated by an SEC at the end of the season. Whoah. This is the same Oregon State team that Penn State beat 45-14 three weeks ago? There really are no safe bets in college football these days, are there? ---

So if the SEC is so godfearin’ good, how do you think they would fare in the NFL? So what if the SEC has the best trailer in the trailer park?

I’ll put the academics of my SEC school up against pretty much any school out there. And we are 4-0 and ranked, baby. ---

> [@neutron\_star](#): > > Keep at it, dude. If you mention the SEC just fifty more times in this thread, you win a free penny whistle! Doing what I love, **and** get a penny whistle?! Awesome! Actually, if I keep at it the more likely outcome is that Alabama will destroy Georgia this weekend, and then I’ll have a good cry. I can still talk shit about the SEC, but it will be more like: “Woot.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hahhaah-ohio-st/463526.md?page=3)
