Yes, it is old news that the SEC won another national Championship. Alabama rolled over Texas to win the school’s 13th national title, and the 4th national title in a row for the SEC ( 4 in a row!!!!). For a season recap of the Tide’s championship glory, see the awesome video below.

That however, it not the main purpose of this blog, I just wanted to include it. Goodness knows I would never miss the opportunity to express how much better SEC football is than every other conference, but this blog is not about that.
Actually it is. Just kidding. This year the SEC set a new record with 49 players from the conference selected in the 2010 NFL draft. That was 15 more players than the Big Ten had selected–30% more players!!
Not only did the SEC have the most overall players selected, they also had 23 players taken in the first three rounds–the “premium” rounds–more than the second place Pac-Ten which had 15.
So for 11 of the past 13 years the SEC has had the most players taken in the draft.
That is dominance. Something the SEC knows well. (And something the Big Ten knows by another form of the word, i.e. “dominated”).
Let Circle City Tickets help you find tickets to see these former SEC football players in the NFL.
Roll Tide.
**Oh, it is also worth mentioning that there are 7 SEC teams ranked in the top 25 rankings for college baseball. The SEC is loaded this year and no doubt the winner of the college world series will probably once again be from the mighty Southeastern Conference.
Bowls Galor

Bowls Galore
It is the holiday season and that means a couple of things: Lots of family time, the end of the NFL season and College Bowl season. This year it is hard to get excited about the Bowl season due the fact that there are 34 bowl games. Now, I understand that for the college athletes each and every bowl game is important but as a fan, why would I ever want to watch the New Mexico Bowl between Fresno St and Nevada or the Little Ceasars Bowl between Marshall and Ohio. These bowl games are pointless, I was flipping through the channels on Dec 26 and I just happened to turn on the Marshall and Ohio football game, the stands were about half full. This can not be a good situation for the BCS, the stadium, or the schools to have these games where they are loosing money. Instead of 34 bowl games they should have some sort of playoff. Maybe start the season a week earlier and get it all wrapped up before the athletes finals or start the playoffs after the finals. In the NFL there are two weeks between the Conference Championship game and the Super Bowl, why can’t the FBS do something similar. I think it would increase revenue and be great for college football.
