This isn't like Ark; they are use to losing big

The SEC told Arkansas to cancel the game @ Texas to save face.  After all, not too long ago Arkansas lost to USC @ Fayetteville, AK 50-17, but still won the SEC West, much like Tenn lost @ Cal last September, but Tenn still went on to win the SEC east.  There is no way the SEC can have a division champ lose to an OOC team early season and still claim superiority; that is, unless tOhio State screws everything up.  2 years in a row a lame tOhio State team gave up a national championship to a weak SEC team.  Hopefully the media won't make it 3 in a row. But the PAC-10, Big 12, and Big East can't take that chance.  And, the SEC can't count on tOhio State for another free handout.

Georgia will probably lose to @ Arizona State since Georgia hasn't travel west of the Mississippi River, and north of the Mason Dixon Line, to play an early quality OOC game since the invention of the wheel.  ASU coach Dennis Erickson will have the Sun Devils ready.  And a top end PAC-10 team will always beat any SEC team.

Is it too late for Georgia to back out of the @ Arizona State game?  No one should be surprised if the next cancellation is Georgia canceling the @ ASU game.

Wow, send me a link to those SEC memos!!!  I love inside information.

Is Cal a top end PAC-10 team?  Didn't they lose to Tennessee in Knoxville the year before?  Maybe I'm a little fuzzy on the meaning of the word "always."

How dumb can one person be?  Apparently pretty dumb.

I could re-iterate the previous four replies, but they are all very accurate and found the mark, so why repeat the truth that has already been stated.

I will say this:  The SEC is the #1 Conference in America.  Big-time recruits want to play in the Southeast.  So would you.  The weather is nicer, the people are nicer, the lifestyle is nicer, etc. etc.  And this is coming from someone born in PA who was fortunate enough to live in Georgia for eight years.

The SEC plays football on a higher level than any other conference.  Just ask Ohio State.  Critics would say:  But the SEC loses bowl games to other conferences.  To them, I would say, CHECK THE MATCHUPS.  It's usually our #5 playing the other conferences #2.  Because the SEC is so deep and has so many good teams, the teams on the lower end of the conference end up playing teams that were at the top of their conference.  Anyone who doesn't know this, doesn't really know the Bowl System.

The bottom line:  An SEC team has whooped up on a "Big 10 Super Team" the last two National Championship Games.  And, the amazing part about it?  LSU couldn't make it through the SEC Undefeated, but still beat the "MIGHTY BUCKEYES!"  Let me just add that the Big 10 made it's name on beating up the Pac-10 and they can't beat the SEC in the big games.

You can Loathe It or Like It, but no matter what, you'll have to Learn It, because it is what it is.  Don't be shocked if Georgia takes it's turn spanking a Big 10 or Pac 10 Patsie this year on it's way to a National Championship.  If we are so blessed to win a National Championship, there will probably be a Pac-10 or Big-10 team to spank in the process.

THOUGH, I will say this, ALL SEC Fans know that the REAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME takes place in ATLANTA, EVERY YEAR!

And they told us to replace Texas with another Big 12 team. A team who has beat Texas the past two years. It seems like everyone is putting aside the fact the we play Texas this year in Austin. The 'joke' on the Hill is that the Razorbacks pulled out of the second game of the 2/2 because of Rick Barnes statement the he would pull the Horns out of coming to Fayetteville this year if his team was booed in Little Rock for the NCAA's.

Mississippi State was better than Kentucky and Auburn, the proof is on the scoreboard.  We dominated the mildcats at lexington and beat  very average auburn team at auburn.
