Paul Finebaum, an ESPN analyst, national radio talk show host, and football鈥檚 鈥淢outh of the South,鈥� chronicles the rise of the Southeastern Conference into a gridiron giant.
鈥淸W]hen it comes to college football, the South has no equal because the SEC has no equal. We have so many trophies, banners and national titles that we rent storage space at the National Archives. Our championship teams have spent more time in the White House than the Secret Service. We鈥檝e presented so many No. 1 jerseys to POTUS, he could open his own Dick鈥檚 Sporting Goods.
鈥淎nytime you want to send down your best twenty-two against the SEC鈥檚 best twenty-two, I鈥檒l be glad to bet my house against yours. In fact, just to make it a tiny bit more fair, forget about the SEC鈥檚 best twenty-two 鈥� I鈥檒l take the best of the SEC West or the best of the SEC East against anything you鈥檝e got. And I鈥檒l still spot you a touchdown."
