re: Pat Forde: SEC no longer the king of college football

Here's the cold reality about the PAC 12.

BCS Era championship appearances

SEC: 11 (5 different schools, 9 wins)
*Big 12: 7 (3 different schools, 2 wins)
*ACC: 4 (1 school, 2 wins)
*Big Ten: 3 (1 school, 1 win)
PAC 12: 3 (2 schools, 1 vacated win)
*Big East: 3 (2 schools, 1 win) Other: 1

*Nebraska's appearance counts for the Big 12, Virginia Tech's and Miami's for the Big East

Of course. And we look at national recruiting class rankings, and final poll rankings, and it all has a remarkably similar distribution. Auburn lost to Florida State. Georgia might get to the college football playoff this year and lose to Oregon. LSU might get there next year. Actually no they won't they still won't have a QB. Florida might get there the following year and Ohio State beat them... but it won't be a trend that goes away for very long. The SEC is King of college football and always will be. The only legitimate competitor would be if Oklahoma, OSU, Tech and tu joined the Pac-12 to make the 16. But that won't happen, and even if they did, they would just be a legitimate competitor. They wouldn't dethrone the SEC.
