Two things, only tangentially related:
First:
The thing the rest of the country denies is the grind of the SEC. Lesser teams can rise up and beat an SEC team, but it's usually the first game of the season, or a bowl game outside of the playoff (i.e. meaningless). In either set of circumstances, they have several weeks or months to prepare, along with a possibly less-than-motivated opponent. Lots of stuff can happen, yet this is what they latch onto.
Let UCF or Boise or Utah or any number of similar schools play an SECW schedule, or even and SECE, they'd have 4-6 losses come December.
It's not just winning an isolated game. It's playing through the grind. Most of the country knows that, but they put their fingers in their ears and hum when the subject comes up. The example of LSU's schedule is enlightening.
Second;
Remind Timmy B of his vocal backing of Ole Miss ahead of the 2010 season. They had won the Cotton Bowl the previous two seasons, and Timmy was so far out on a limb with this ballyhooing, he couldn't see the branch, let alone the trunk of the tree. OM ended the 2010 season 4-8, and followed that up with a 2-10 campaign.
Brando spouts what he wishes were true, not what is, or even what he believes. He is about as accurate as Charles from Reeltown. One day, he might get something right. But it'll bear a lot more resemblance to Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory than it will to thoughtful and informed analysis.
