James C. Armstrong, Jnr. says he can't give respect to the SEC 
because he doesn't think the teams play each other. Well they do.
The SEC has ten teams. They can't play EVERYONE in a year since
that would take up nine of the eleven games.  Each team plays
six conference games EVERY year. Some of the opponents are the same
each year, i.e. Florida - Georgia, Florida - Auburn, Georgia - Auburn,
Auburn - Alabama, etc. Some of the opponents vary over the years.
Georgia now plays Alabama each year.  They will continue this for a while.
Likewise Florida plays Alabama in 10 year intervals. They played
throughout the '70s and will play again in the 90's. I don't know
about the other SEC teams but Florida has four fixed opponents,
(Mississippi State, LSU, Auburn and Georgia) and two 'rovers',
(this year Tennessee and Kentucky). 

So maybe Mr. Armstrong can explain what he is talking about when
he says the SEC teams don't play each other.
