SEC Football. NFL on Saturdays?

This past weekend I had the opportunity to experience Southeastern Conference football for just the second time live; when I got to see the #5 Florida Gators take on the Commodores of Vanderbilt University.I have experienced other college games, but none stack up, because with the SEC it will be the closest thing you will get to seeing NFL type play on Saturday.


Everyone seems to have their favorite conference with their style of play. Whether it be the Big 10 with its hard-nosed type play, running it up the gut with the "ground and pound" type offenses.  The Big 12 where it seems like defense is optional most weeks, and they allow mediocre quarterbacks like Geno Smith to consistently pass for 500+ yards with 5 touchdowns (sorry for the opinion on Geno, but I don't think he deserves on the Heisman talk he gets) in a shootout where the final score is sixty something to fifty something game.
With the SEC you are most likely to get a pro-style offense, but also in the south is where you get the best the recruits. The past three out of five Heisman trophy winners have come out of the Southeastern Conference all of them leading their respected team to the national title game that same year. The SEC has also put out six straight BCS National Champions. The latest national championship game was a first as the two teams playing were Alabama and LSU both from the SEC, and both from the western division of the SEC.

With all the conference shifts, trying to form a mega-conference for both football and basketball. I don't see anything changing in the SEC they have the territory locked up for both sports. With every kid in the south wanting to play fooball at prestigious programs like LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina.
