In summary, the conversation revolves around the topic of academic performance and football in the Southeast region of the United States. The speaker mentions that schools in this region, specifically Georgia and Alabama, have lower SAT scores due to their focus on football. They also welcome Notre Dame, a school known for academic integrity, to the SEC and boast about their talented "student athletes" who will beat them on the field. However, they acknowledge that other schools like Oregon, Texas A&M, Stanford, and Ohio State may also have been able to beat Notre Dame. The conversation ends with a mention of the upcoming playoffs system and the speaker expressing their gratitude for it.

Hello,

There is a reason Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, read Alabama, is last/near last, in SAT scores, it's called FOOTBALL! Hello notre dame, welcome to the SEC. You may be a school of academic integrity, who gives most of your football income to academics, and enjoys the envy of all, but our professional SEC "student athletes" will kick your butt on the field of "play".

Of course your ex - scholars may find more gainful employment, but for today, GO SEC!

And maybe Oregon, Texas A&M, Stanford, Ohio State, would also have beat you, but you are still a good program and can remember the Gipper!
