SEC knows how to protect itself it seems

[Shark4]

SEC teams do their best never to travel outside their home territory. And their best is better than everyone else. With good reason:

"Besides losing a payday, leaving home means this harsh reality for the SEC: It's pretty mediocre on the road. Since 1998, the SEC is 40-39 in nonconference road games. That mark drops to 24-31 at schools from BCS conferences. "

Here are the dirty details

Good article. Of course I wonder what the Big 12's numbers look like.

The SEC lost a game?

It's again time for me to mention that Auburn hasn't won a non-conference road game since 1997.

Those numbers are meaningless to me until I see how the other conferences perform as well. All I know is that the SEC is 13-5 (or something close to that) in bowl games the last two years and sports the last two National Champions. I would love the Big XII to step up this year and make a claim as the strongest conference in the country, but as of right now, its the SEC.
