Unless you were living under a rock for the past decade, you obviously know that the SEC has had its share of success in the college football world.
There's all that talent and those six straight national championships that this league owns. All of it makes the rest of the country sick. So will the SEC's run of dominance end any time soon? Fellow SEC blogger Chris Low isn't so sure:
That system, the BCS standings, is only in place for two more seasons and then it's on to a much-anticipated four-team playoff in 2014.
Perhaps the argument of how dominant the SEC really is will be settled once and for all then.
In the meantime, the rest of college football continues its chase of the SEC, which is seeking to make it seven straight national championships in 2012. Four different teams -- Alabama, Auburn, Florida and LSU -- have contributed to the streak.
The SEC has won seven of the last nine BCS national championships, and five different SEC teams have won national championships in the BCS era, which dates back to 1998.

So who could end the SEC's run? Our ESPN colleagues weigh in on the teams that could top the SEC this fall.
