Fair enough but probing deeper you have to look at the P5's ability to win

ACC = FSU and CU
B12 = OU and maybe Utx
B1G = OSU
PAC = USC

That leaves the SEC with "The Six" (which has existed since the SEC founded in the 30's) and the Six being ever changing as GT was a Six member back in their SEC days and even Vanderbilt and Sewanee had their moments early on. You may be not be aware Vanderbilt football had around a dozen conference championships but that and a dollar might get you a cup of coffee at McDonalds. Bigger point is the SEC is fluid in football and even has Alabama has down years when their Six membership is void in a particular season. That means another SEC school elevates for that year which does not happen in the ACC.

Based on probability most any SEC football school can have an exceptional year and being as strong as they are that should be enough to get them into a 4 team CFP that should have at least 1 SEC school and possibly two in a given year. While agree that money does not win championships (Utx is a glaring example and UVA much less so) it does buy coaches and coaching staffs. In addition Cocks are sitting in the most fertile conference for NFL potential and SC is a state (and surrounding states) with the talent to win a Natty and the odds skew in the Cocks favor.

That being said most P5's might be a 1:50 but Cocks may be as low as 1:20 and that is not too bad given a generation or two event horizon.
