the reality is alabama always wins SEC b/c it is not that competitive and little creativity on offense.


Every other metric to define conference strength since 2004 disputes this assertion. Alabama is the biggest bully in a yard full of felons. I would argue this season was the first where the SEC was truly not the most complete league in the country since 2004. Facts would support that argument. Head to head against other power 5 teams, wins over other ranked power 5 teams, etc...

I will add this to my post it helps define what I suggested.

Exactly. The SEC had its worst season in 15 years and the ACC had its best season probably ever. What does that produce:

*ACC ends up with 5 ranked teams at the end of the year (#1, #8, #16, #20, #21)
*SEC ends up with 5 ranked teams at the end of the year (#2, #13, #14, #22, #24)

reality is SEC fans like to piggyback on Alabama's success, and as an excuse.

hopefully the SEC coaches are trying to beat ALabama rather than suck up to Alabama, like the fans. lol

those rankings are simply b/c those teams lost to Alabama. every ACC team would be ranked 10 spots higher if they lost to Alabama.
