In December, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said that the SEC deserved 7 bids to the College Football Playoff and that 5 wasn’t enough.
He said that Vanderbilt and Texas should also have been in the Playoff.
Despite getting 5 bids, the SEC did not reach the national championship game for a third season in a row.
In bowl season as a whole, the SEC finished 4-10, the worst of any conference. Two of those wins and two of those losses were to other SEC teams, so in non-conference postseason play the SEC went 2-8.
With Miami’s victory over Ole Miss last night, the SEC finished 6-8 against the ACC, the second time in the last three years they’ve had a losing record to the ACC.
It seems the era of blind special treatment and benefit of the doubt for the SEC has come to an end. We’ll have to wait until August to see if there’s 10 SEC teams in the preseason poll again to get the narrative rebooted.
