What's the evidence that the SEC isn't way down in '23?

Why should Alabama or UGA make the top 4? I just want to see some evidence. The "eyeball test" is pretty worthless if the teams in your conference are beating each other but consistently losing to out of conference teams.


What are the big OOC wins for the SEC this year?

The 7th best team in the SEC West beat the 3rd best overall team in the Pac12

The 9th best SEC team beat the 2nd best ACC team at home

No other conference has bad to average teams beating elite squads from other Power 5 conferences

What’s the evidence for the B1G? Who did Michigan beat OOC?

The Pac 12 and ACC have the best OOC winning % of the P5. The SEC has the 2nd worst with it's champion losing at home by double digits to the big 12 champ.

This. Let’s see Bama, Georgia, LSU schedule Purdue, Wake Forest, Syracuse, etc. and see how the records play out. Just looking at records is dumb.

I don't think LSU could deal with the high powered offense of Purdue or the stonewall defense of Syracuse

The 3rd best team in the PAC 12 lost to one of the worst SEC teams this year.

Likewise Bama is double digit points worse than the number 3 (AP) team. The #2 sec (UGA that Bama is Parading) team is only 8 points better than the #4 ACC school. We won't get into South Florida. FSU vs LSU compared to Bama vs LSU.

State beat Arizona 31-24. They are currently ranked #14 and have been steadily rising the last two months.
