Most people who watched any SEC games this weekend would probably say the conference did not fare too well with a record five losses —- with potential for a sixth Monday night when Ole Miss and FSU meet —- on opening weekend. That naturally drew quite a bit of ire from known SEC hater and troll artist Danny Kanell.

However, what Kanell failed to mention was that the SEC also set a record on the winning side of things. The conference won three games vs Top-25 teams in Week 1, which is tied for the most by any conference ever. No other conference has ever won three non-conference Top-25 games in Week 1 and the SEC has a chance to win its 4th such game tonight when Ole Miss and Florida State meet up.

Those wins include a 52-6 Alabama drubbing of USC, an overtime thriller that saw Texas A&M beat UCLA 31-24 and Georgia beating North Carolina 33-24 with a freshman quarterback leading the way. The Aggies were the only unranked team to beat a Top-25 team, but maybe that will negate some of the bad losses in the conference for Kanell.
