Florida has won the East every year of my dynasty so far. So according to:
>>Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.<<
LSU beats Bama because we beat florida, but Bama lost to them, but LSU and Aurburn didn't have a common opponent, and the only common opponent between Bama and Auburn was SC whom they both beat. So I don't see a decision coming out of this rule unless they eliminated Bama because we beat Florida and they didn't and then did a head to head between Aubrun and LSU and gave the title to Auburn because they beat LSU in the regular season. This wouldn't seem fair to Bama though since they would've been in last place because they lost a tie breaker to LSU, but they didn't lose a tie breaker to Auburn (and they beat Auburn in the regular season).
That's why I chose to play there and I haven't regretted it in the least. I played 4 season as my favorite teams (Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina) but it just didn't feel as much fun as I figured the SEC would be. I decided on LSU since I didn't have to build a competitive team again (I already did that with MSU, but was never able to get UNC competitive) and they have a cool looking field and they have 5 rivalry games (more than any other team I've seen).
I think that LSU probably has the most difficult path to win a National Championship (in this game) than any other team in the country and I really like the challenge. Sure Michigan has to beat Ohio State and Penn State (some years), but LSU has to beat Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, (usually) Tennessee, and they have to beat Florida TWICE! I'm in year 5 of my LSU dynasty and we've played Florida every single year and Florida has won the SEC-E every single year so far. I also schedule at least 2 Top25 teams out of my 4 non-conference games.
I was looking at career records last night and what I saw epitomized why I love playing as LSU so much. I compared them to West Virginia. West Virgina was on a 26 game winning streak (they won the NC in 2009 and went undefeated in 2010 but didn't go to the championship game). During the first 4 seasons, WV went 12-1 against Top25 teams. My LSU team was 21-6 against Top25 teams. This is why I love LSU. During the first 4 years I played TWICE as many Top25 teams as did WV. I played 55 games and 49% of them were against Top25 teams. For me, that makes the game so much more fun, and I don't think any other conferences could give you so many Top25 games.
