fuck off, you SEC honk, that robbery against FSU means nothing?
So what makes the SEC get half their teams in the top 10? Was it LSU'S 4 point win over Wisconsin or Auburns 7 point win over KSU?
The SEC doesn't even have the defending champ in their conference, but they cram all their teams in the top 10... because ESPN said so.
Total scam.
There was no robbery...the call made, while not always called, was still a legitimate call...eat a bag...its over and done with now.
The SEC gets 1/3 of the Conference in realistically, due to the fact that the SEC fields some excellent teams most years...and they generally have 2/3 of the Conference with 7 or more wins each season...SEC teams are just that fucking good, and the Championship trophies prove that. If you dont think the trophies mean anything since its just SEC bias, go get back all the trophies from the Non SEC schools who won..
Just for Shits & Giggles...here are the SEC schools who are routinely considered to be good and or above average...
Alabama - 3 National Championships (2010, 2012, 2013)
Auburn - 1 National Championship (2011)
Florida - 2 National Championship (2007, 2009)
LSU - 1 National Championship (2008)
Georgia
South Carolina
Ole Miss
Tennessee - 1 National Championship (1999)
and now we have to add in Texas A&M as they have did a fine job in the SEC so far.
Be honest...name any other Power 5 Conference, year in and year out, who are that deep in title contention...I`ll wait. Name any other Power 5 Conference who has a set of schools as potent as the Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida and LSU...year in and year out, again, I`ll wait.
The fact is, year in and year out, at least in the last decade, only the SEC has been able to field more than 2-3 teams yearly with the potential to be National Champs...
Big 10 gets close at times with Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State..but not in the last decade.
Big 12 has lived the last decade and half on the backs of Texas, Texas A&M pre SEC swap, Oklahoma and Oklahoma state with a charge in the last 5 years or so from TCU, West Virginia & Baylor...but nothing of real merit.
AAC has had 2 single years...last year and this year...only because FSU was smart enough to choose the ACC over the SEC...best of the Conference is FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Miami usually. This year Louisville has came on, but what else is there to talk about. Put ANY ACC team in the SEC and they will likely be on par with Vanderbilt.,,maybe mid level at best.
PAC 12 has lived and died with USC, Cal, UCLA, Oregon and Oregon State with a bit on Stanford for fun...and not a single one of them has made a true impact...
Now, to be fair, in the decade previous to the 2000`s, pre BCS, the SEC was not as proficient..the Big 12 and Big 10 were the most dominant...but you sure didnt hear all the "bias" being screamed back then. Only after the BCS took charge of the Championship in 1998 and the SEC went on to win 9 titles, 8 in a row, did that happen.
Give this Play-Off system a couple seasons and we may in fact see the field level out and 1 conference may not be quite as dominant for such a long stretch. But, just to piss people off, its still a better than average bet that the SEC will put 2 of 4 teams in the playoff this year, and almost even money 1 of those 4 will be n the Championship game...depending on which team that might be, I would still bet on the SEC...odds are in our favor....

1999 - Tennessee - SEC
2000 - Florida State - ACC
2001 - Oklahoma - Big 10
2002 - Miami - ACC
2003 - Ohio State - Big 10
2004 - LSU - SEC / USC - Pac 12 - Last Split Championship
2005 - USC - Pac 12
2006 - Texas - Big 12
2007 - Florida - SEC
2008 - LSU - SEC
2009 - Florida - SEC
2010 - Alabama - SEC
2011 - Auburn - SEC
2012 - Alabama - SEC
