If your argument had merit I would respond accordingly. It was fecesious at best. Haters are going to hate. It really does make me laugh.
I don't feel the need to disparage other conferences. Michigan St. has been good for years now as has Oregon, TCU, and a few other teams. Urban Meyer can flat out recruit as can Kevin Sumlin it would appear; but no one recruits better than Alabama, and likely never will. Ohio St. won an exciting game against Alabama. Alabama's offensive clock management in the last 2 minutes left much to be desired. It appeared as if they were not prepared for this scenario, which is more than ridiculous. What Notre Dame and Ohio State achieved with their depth charts this season, especially Ohio St. at QB, is more than remarkable. No one would have believed what Ohio St did was possible if they had not proven it; with a resounding exclamation mark at that. I do not believe we will see anything like this again as incredible as it was to watch as well as great for college football as a whole.
I believe Urban Meyer to be one of the finest coaches in CFB despite his growing pains at Florida, from which I believe he learned volumes. The other coaches would be Mark Richt, Dabo Swinney, Gary Patterson, David Shaw, David Cutcliffe, Charlie Strong, Gus Malzone and Kevin Sumlin. Insofar as morality and ethics are concerned, I don't know enough about Mark Dantonio, Nick Saban, Mark Helfrich or Bob Stoops to express my opinion. Spurrier is making strides now that his grandkids seem to have had a mellowing effect. That and a more than humbling task of coaching at the University of South Carolina! The ESPN documentary this year gave me a new found respect for Spurrier, something very much lacking prior to this, despite doing what he has as our HC for the past 10 years, turning our dismal program around exponentially with much less talent than other Universities in our league (not conference, but that as well for the most part), albeit this year was extremely disappointing due to expectations. Spurrier and his coaching staff evaluate talent extraordinarily well.
After some thought, I will address your comment with the following. If you believe East Carolina, Clemson and UCF are cream puffs, in addition to our 8 conference schedule, I would not want to attempt to delve into how you arrived at this conclusion. Have a great New Year!
