Who is dismissing those schools. But top to bottom sec is hands down better than those.
In turn the coaches mentioned are not at any of those schools as examples. Why? Because those are good programs on the conference. Franklin was great at vandy, but hasn't even had same success at a much better program in penny state. Most coaches "fit" better at certain spots. Might ne recruiting bases as to style of play. But who knows. Success at even mid level power fives don't equal big time success at other programs. Charlie strong is another prime example
I don't know about "hands down" better, but top to bottom, sure the SEC is the best. But it is still no harder for Kentucky to win 7 or 8 or (do we even dare speak it??) 9 games in a season in the SEC (like Vandy, MIssouri and South Carolina all recently have) than for Northwestern to win the Big 10, or Oregon State to win the PAC 12, or freakin Wake Forest to win the ACC. You will just never convince me otherwise.
And every time this topic comes up, someone mentions the SEC, as if it is literally impossible for us to ever envision anything other than being a total bottom feeder.
To that I say "BS"
