I'm aware folks think the SEC is down this year, and even veteran numbers-cruncher Jeff Sagarin has it rated third after last weekend's games.

I can't remember which conference was the best in the country before the SEC began its current five- or six-year run of dominance. Was it the Big 12? The Big 10? USC and its PAC 10 buddies? Who knows?

After Week 1 exposed the Big East, Week 2 wasn't too kind to the ACC. And with three head-to-head matchups in Week 3, the Big Ten and PAC 10 each had a chance to show themselves as the second-best league in the land.
