A Word From The SEC

| | Comments (7) |

Not to be outdone, the SEC released a survey that says it is the top men's conference in the nation.

In a statistical survey that is based on NCAA championship and rankings, the Southeastern Conference placed first in the nine men's sports it sponsors and second in the 11 women's sports the league sponsors.

The survey, compiled each year since 1986 by Bo Carter, takes into account final NCAA championship standings in each sport and poll rankings in football. Each conference gets 20 points for a team that wins a national championship, 19 for a second place finish and down to 1 point for a 20th place finish.

In the nine men's sports the SEC sponsors, the SEC had 440.5 points with the Pac-10 coming in second with 375 points, followed by the Big 12 with 337.5 points, ACC with 214 points, Big East 102.5 points and the Big Ten with 80 points.

In the 11 women's sports the SEC sponsors, the Pac-10 was first with 615 points followed by the SEC with 431 points, the Big 12 with 337 points, Big Ten with 318.5 points, ACC with 277.5 points and the Big East with 161.5 points.

Combining the 20 sponsored sports, the Pac-10 had 990 points followed by the SEC with 806 points, Big 12 with 674.5 points, ACC with 491.5 points, Big Ten with 398.5 points and the Big East with 264 points.

The SEC has had the highest men's point total in 15 of the last 17 seasons (exceptions: 2007-08: Big 12; 1997-98: Pac-10). The Pac-10 has had the highest women's point totals each year since 1986 with the exception of four years the SEC has had the highest total (1990-91; 1995-96; 2004-05; 2006-07).

Yoda, yoda, yoda. You poor stupid soul.

Winning the national championship you must still be suffering from the bruins winning 20 games row and not. Boo hoo.

Worried about you, the jedi council is. Of a nc in football only winning one half. Oh my, your football program smells soooo bad how tragic that.

Your spirits my friend keep up. Even though, a dbag, you are, our dbag, you are. Yeesssssss.

Somehow this survey looks like advertising Pac-10. SEC has 12 schools instead of 10 from Pac 10. Still only trails in men sport with 440.5. If they had 10 teams instead of 12 that would make it 367 (440.5*10/12=367). I think I'l take it.
