SI College Football Survey Results
SI.com did a fairly expansive college football survey, and the results are finally in.
Despite all the whining you hear about the SEC from other conferences, fans around the country voted it the both the toughest and most entertaining conference to watch. That's significant since voters weren't allowed to vote for the conference of their favorite team and about a fifth of voters pledged allegiance to SEC campuses. More than a third of respondents called the SEC the most entertaining, while a full 80 percent of non-SEC fans said our league was the toughest.
In other categories...
The SEC is the home of the most recruitniks (no surprise). Vanderbilt was voted among the nicest home stadiums to visitors while Florida was voted among the rudest (which harmonizes with my experience). SEC fans also as a whole voted no on selling alcohol inside stadiums.
As for the BCS? Only 10.2% of respondents supported it, with 7.7% voting for a return to the old bowl system and more than 81% voting for a playoff of some kind. If you've ever wondered where the nation's desire truly lies among all the vocal proponents of one thing or another, now you know.

4 people stopping playoff. mike slive sec commissioner, jim delaney big ten commisssioner
dan beebe big 12 commissioner and john swofford acc commissioner. larry scott of pac-ten has only had job for 4 or 5 months so he would just go along with others. can’t think of big east commissioner but he is the weakest of the bcs commissioners.
yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

Slive and Swofford proposed a plus one not even two years ago. It’s mostly Delaney, Hansen, and the majority of university presidents.

a plus one is hardly a playoff. when i think playoff i think 8 teams
that is fair to all conferences. but your right about the bcs university presidents.

although if your saying take the two best teams that put a smackdown on their
respective teams in the bcs bowl games. take last year when florida and utah had the most impressive wins and they would play for the ncg that is fair too.
