Nine SEC teams! Who could’ve guessed! 🤯
• Go 1-8 against the ACC, Big 12, and Big Ten in the postseason.
• Get 5 bids to the CFP and fail to even reach the national championship game for a THIRD consecutive season.
• Have your conference champion be a one-and-done in the CFP for a second consecutive season.
• Have your conference runner-up end with a 35-point loss in a game viewed by 23.9 million people.
• Have your 11-1 third place finisher score 3 points and lose a CFP game at home.
• Finish with a losing record to the ACC (second time in the last three years).
Doesn’t matter! Here’s 9 preseason ranked teams to help bolster those early résumés and rig public perception again. 🎁💕🥰
Many SEC programs want NIL price caps so they can ignore them, pay players under the table, and regain the advantage they once had when payments were hidden.
Vanderbilt claimed these ranked wins this season:
#11 South Carolina
#10 LSU
#15 Missouri
#19 Tennessee
All four ended up unranked and combined to go 3-24 against FBS teams with winning records. Whatever cushion you think the SEC receives from the media/polls, it's bigger.
😂😂😂eSECpn’s Alabama gets blownout by FIVE touchdowns, suffers THE MOST lopsided & embarrassing defeat in 12-team CFP history…moves UP 2 spots in the “rankings”
Totally not rigged😂👍🏻
Find someone who loves you like ESPN metrics love the SEC
I’ve done a deeper dive here & they’re just not trying to hide it anymore (ESPN & SEC bias)
Preseason ESPN FPI had SEC CFB teams with the top 11 hardest SOSs & all 16 in the top 20, despite only playing 8 in-conf games
Now ESPN BPI has all 16 SEC MBB teams in the top 19 hardest remaining SOSs when they’ve had an off year in non-conf play
No other metrics agree and the predictive/future SOS are major outliers
Time for full transparency of any metric by any media company that has a financial vested interest in the parties involved.
Final records in bowls/CFP games*
B1G: 10-4
ACC: 9-5
CUSA: 4-3
American: 5-4
Big 12: 4-4
MAC: 2-3
Sun Belt: 3-5
MWC: 2-5
SEC: 2-8
*Not including intraconference games
Ryan Clark, a former player in the SEC at LSU, evicerates Paul Finebaum and Cam Newton for their continued inability to accept the fact that the rest of the CFB world can now pay players, erasing the league's long held advantage and smashing the false perception of superiority.
SEC drops to 2-7 in bowl games this season (when not playing another SEC team) after Miss State’s loss to Wake Forest. SEC teams were favored in 7 of those 9 bowls
The CFP committee said the SEC deserved nearly half the playoff spots.
Then the SEC got dominated when they didn’t play themselves.
There’s 1 SEC team left because an SEC team had to win an all-SEC game.
Please explain this “top-to-bottom SEC strength” I heard so much about this year. I’ll hang up and listen.
How much longer are we going to let the SEC get away with the narrative that they’re better than everyone else?
SEC is 0-4 in bowl games against other P4 teams. Alabama lost to a 5-7 ACC team by 14. 11-1 TAMU scored 3 points in a home playoff game.
Can we quit the charade?
The SEC is now 0-5 in bowl games against P4 non-conference opponents.
I would give Ole Miss credit for their CFP win over Tulane, but SEC homers said the G5 isn’t playing the same sport.
Reminder: the SEC had 5x more CFP bids than both the Big 12 and ACC
