>Talking about CFP wins
You’re not unreasonable but I’d say again that when talking about CFP wins you’re talking mostly about Alabama then Georgia and one year with LSU
I give you, in general, the SEC is probably better overall but I think it’s overstated. My point is that the rest of the teams in the SEC seem to ride the coattails of Alabama or whoever is good that year. I don’t ride Ohio State, I hope they’re never good, I never root for them to win — and if they do win I don’t take that to mean the Big Ten is any worse or better overall, just that Ohio State is.
I guess my main point is lots of people talk shite about teams like Iowa or Indians or whoever, and I think a lot of mid SEC teams that, in my mind are basically the same as those programs, get inflated AP rankings/reputations which leads to people saying the SEC is so much better than the Big Ten — I really don’t buy it.
I’m not saying Alabama in recent past, Georgia now, or LSU with Burrow weren’t the best teams in the country, clearly you guys usually have *the* best team most years — it just annoys me that because one of the teams is the best at any given time, people attribute that to the conference as a whole — you’ll have teams like A&M or Ole Miss way up in the rankings because they played some good teams close, and then they lose to some other team and that team goes up in the rankings etc — it’s all circular
