Can someone, anyone, please take down the SEC?

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/someone-anyone-please-down-sec-223829778--ncaaf.html

Can somebody - anybody! - please stand up to that bully down South....

In this sport, though, we've got the closest thing to a sure bet. Come January, we all know there's likely to be another Southeastern Conference team standing in the middle of that confetti at the Rose Bowl, collecting the league's eighth straight national title....

For the good of college football, somebody needs to end this reign of terror.

Sure, dynasties are a whole lot of fun for those on the right side of history, but they're not the best way to keep the rest of us engaged. It is surely no coincidence that average attendance this past season was down 1.3 percent from 2005, the last time a team not from the SEC finished No. 1, and a more troubling 3.3 percent from its record high in 2008.


Gotta be either the B1G or the Pac-Whatever.

I'm expecting a truly craptacular season from my Sooners, and my new adopted team, the Mountaineers.
