If I was an offensive player, especially at the position with the shortest professional lifespan, I'm not sure I'd want to rush into the meat grinder that is SEC football. There are plenty of reasons to want to play the SEC, I get that. But if I'm making the decision based on what's going to be best for me when it comes time to enter the draft, a couple or three years of gaudy numbers against ACC competition and showing up at the combine with low mileage would be looking really good to me.

+1. I'm choosing a school that has a good OL class coming, plus a place with a favorable depth chart, one that has someone to share carries with. RBs are dumb if they want to rush into playing a brutal schedule and being the man.

Ask Marcus Lattimore how that's working out for him. 1st round talent, ton of miles, major injury, will likely be out of the league before he can collect a pension. An RB that tears up the ACC (or any other conference, including the SEC) will still get drafted in the same spot

Ask all the Wisconsin rbs, Pitt rbs too and Le'veon Bell who seems like he's injured everytime he touches a ball

W/R/T Fournette, I can't help but think that the staff wouldn't be bothering with him if they thought they had a chance to flip Cook.

Are you serious? Fournette would be the best player in any recruiting class. Cook wouldn't bring the big back that we need to go along with Yearby. Miami should recruit this man with or without Cook.

I'm so sick of this inferiority complex. If Clemson beats Georgia does this stop or will you need to wait for us to embarrass Florida?

The SEC is the best conference in college football. This is not debatable.
 
The SEC is the best conference but aside from last year you can argue that ACC had the 2nd best defense... Last year as a conference aside from FSU and VT the ACC sucked as far a defenses goes... I think last year was an anomaly... It isn't as easy to come in and dominate... Watkins did it and Duke showed out but those aren't ordinary players... That being Republicane your post does seem like an inferiority complex... "Come to the ACC because its not tough but easy..." Serious man... We'll be back...

If I based my opinions on one game sample sizes, I would absolutely do a 180. So the ACC is better than the SEC if Miami beats UF? Oh. I guess I should also just ignore the 25 SEC defenders taken in the first round over the past 5 years? The SEC East byitsdamnself had more draft picks than any other conference in the country. The SEC West had more draft picks than every conference save for one.

You realize the last time a non-SEC school won a National Championship YouTube didn't even exist? Freaking YouTube! Nor did Twitter We were a year plus away from seeing the first iPhone bruh.

They don't cease to be facts, just because you don't like them.

I'm not saying that's what UM is, or even should be selling. I'm saying if I were a player at a position that had a life expectancy of 3.5 years in the NFL, and getting there and providing for my family was important to me, I would have to consider taking steps to make sure I had as long a career as possible, that's all.
 
its not an inferiority complex, its a fact that the SEC is the best conference. An inferiority complex would be, for example, saying no one will ever beat them. They've won like the last 8 BCS championships.

UF has won 7 of the last 10 games against FSU
Georgia has won 9 of the last 10 games against GTech (the only lost was by 3 pts)
Clemson split 5-5 the last 10 games against USCe
