The SEC generates a lot of buzz nationally, from haters attempting to troll the best conference in college football to lovers praising everyone from Commissioner Mike Slive to Nick Saban and the league’s cast of characters.
Between the play on the field, the press conferences of Les Miles and Steve Spurrier and the offseason shirtless antics of Bret Bielema, it’s a very media-friendly conference when you think about it.
Each week, we’ll make the rounds nationally to see what fans, analysts and other experts are saying about the SEC. Let’s go.

Exactly… It’s SEC bias RT @I_B_Phil: unless it’s the sec where you can just switch the 21st and 9th ranked teams and call it a day — Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) September 7, 2014
Everyone is so biased towards the SEC and it’s not even the best conference.

SEC week 2 schedule was a joke…the best conference shouldn’t be in games where they outscore opponents by a total of more than 400 pts…

FAU, Arkansas st, Nichols st, to name a few teams the so called best conference, SEC, played today. #getreal — In The Gym Range (@allenmj1038) September 7, 2014
The SEC West with LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Miss St. is by far the best Conference in the Country hands down.

Coincidence that the best conference in college football has their own channel? I think not. #SEC
