The SEC loves to preach it just means more. Well, when it comes to the frauds of college football, there sure is more of them coming from the Southeast.

Despite having the top ranked team and an FBS-best nine squads in the US LBM Coaches Poll, the SEC is getting a lot more praise than it really should. Sure, you can argue the conference is really deep, but in reality, there's been a high volume of mediocre − even bad − play that's resulting in misguided hype.
