The problem is the death of 3 different programs: Michigan, Nebraska, and Tennessee.

They used to provide checks on the success of Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Alabama respectively. But none of these teams can seem to dig themselves out of their holes. As a result, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Ohio State can run roughshod over their respective conferences.


(Add in Clemson’s rise as Florida State imploded.)

I'd add in the regression of the Pac 12. Oregon has shown signs of life a few times, and Washington made the playoffs a few years ago, but other than that, that league has been garbage since USC's run in the early to mid 00's.

I wouldn't lump Tennessee in with the others. Yeah they suck now, but even with them down the SEC is still a significantly more competitive league than the Big 12, ACC, or B1G. OU has won the Big 12 6 years in a row, Clemson has won the ACC 6 years in a row, and Ohio State has won the B1G 4 years in a row. None of those streaks appear poised to end anytime soon. Alabama's longest streak of SEC championships under Saban is 3, from 2014-2016.
