6 straight NCs, seventh right around the corner, and no end in sight. The same honestly cannot be said of baseball.

Baseball is deeper, football is stronger.



Ummmm, let's stop and think about that line of reasoning for one moment, shall we?

Football - one game championship, based upon final regular season polls, one game for all the marbles.

Baseball - conference tourney, seeding, regionals, super regionals then on to Obama for the CWS. Big, BIG difference.

If anything, the format for college baseball only proves that the SEC has been far more dominant in baseball than in football. The SEC Champs come out of nowhere, fight our way through the brackets often times when they try to stack the brackets against our conference, and still win championships.

That's completely backwards. It's much more difficult to win a championship in football. It's "one game for all the marbles," yes, but you have to be one of the top 2 teams in the country to get to that game. Much easier to get one of 64 bids and get hot right before tourney time.

Dominance is also relative to one's opponent. The Pac-12 and ACC are respectable compared to the SEC in baseball. Not better, obviously, but at least respectable. No one can touch the SEC in football. The gap between the SEC and the rest in football so clearly outstrips the same gap in baseball that I'm kinda surprised there's an argument.
