Michigan 2023 was a fluke. 2023 UGA mops the floor with them. 2024 OSU was legit the best team in the nation, hands down. It’s normal for them to win a nattie each decade. As far as 2025 goes, wait until we see matchups, until then you’re pulling crap out of your butt.

This is compounded by the fact that the SEC is getting too greedy and is expanding too much.
Definitely all chips in on an exclusive superconference / league.
If it doesn’t happen, then yes the conference is only handicapping itself by doing this crap. Too many teams already.

The same Georgia team who lost to Bama in the title game? Michigan was very good that year. The Dawgs of course could have beaten them but wiping the floor with them is a dumb statement.

Ohio State beat Texas by 7 while Georgia beat them by 25, and that was when Arch Manning was playing WELL.
The late season Texas would have at least held their own if not beaten Ohio State.
There were only three quality teams in the B1G this year:
Ohio State
Indiana
Oregon
Their big name OOC opponents were:
Texas (also lost to Georgia by 25 and lost to Florida)
Old Dominion? (Indiana's OOC slate is pathetic)
Either 2-10 Oregon State or 1-11 Oklahoma State
So how would we even know how good they are?
The biggest problem with punishing teams for playing good OOC opponents is that SOS will become an absolutely useless metric, but that's the route we're heading. Indiana is proving that playing a strong OOC opponent is meaningless.

Greg Sankey is a baby back bitch who gets played at every turn by the B1G in football. He’s about to take SEC to 9 conference games due to B1G whining about how THEY play 9 conference games.
Nevermind that the B1G effectively hid their power teams by completely blowing up the schedule when the conference expanded to absorb the PAC 12 teams.
Sankey’s dumb arse has most of the top half of the conference beating the ever living shite out of each other on the regular.
Sankey also got worked on the media rights deal. SEC is now owned by Disney while B1G plays on CBS, NBC, and FOX. Sankey also sold SEC football rights for $200million less than B1G football rights deal. He’s a weak turd.
ETA: And SEC easily has worst officials in Power 4 football.

If they're better rested than SEC teams they might actually look pretty decent.
Draft day will be the real test

Yeah the same team that had 2 generational talents / 75% of its offense literally playing on one leg each. In hindsight, many agree that it was probably more of a detriment playing with them hurt that badly than going with backups in the game. Thats how bad it was. They would have been considerable healthier vs Michigan, probably recovered fully.
So, again, that Ga team with Bowers and McConkey healthy would have kicked Michigan’s butt.
Not a flame towards Bama, they won that game, and we’ve certainly had a big win where the tables were reversed with WR injuries. Just stating fact about UGA vs Michigan.

When was this?
The real SEC dominance started about 20 years ago. Rewind to the 90s and mid 2000s and you would see Michigan perennially in the Top 10, Ohio State doing its traditional thing, Penn State being a much more consistent national player, and teams like Wisconsin and Iowa achieving much more than they do today. Even Purdue was routinely in the Top 25.
Meanwhile teams like Georgia were good but not really great like today while Bama was wandering in the woods under Mike DuBose, Fran, and Mike Shula. It was the Florida Tennessee show back then and decent squads today like South Carolina were atrociously bad. Auburn had its moments but was very inconsistent.

It’s not really that hard to admit it. I’m an Alabama fan. I couldn’t give 2 shits if other SEC teams are good so the conference looks stronger. I don’t care about a conference, I care about Bama. I’d prefer if you all sucked.

Honestly, this is a weak troll attempt.
Try harder at least.
The SEC leads in television ratings, number of teams in the playoffs, and popularity.
Do us all a favor and go cry in another corner.

Talent rank? This is like when SEC fans treated recruiting rankings like they were gospel. On the field results matter. Don't worry - the media still loves you. Alabama didn't drop a single spot after losing to UGA.

Typical SEC view. "Talent" is not the same as a winning team. Who cares what happens on draft day. They don't play based upon draft position. Scoreboard. Let's see if the SEC can improve on last year.

Let’s hold off on this until Indiana or Ohio State or whoever actually wins the title lol.
The run that conference is on will be impressive if they get the third straight title. But right now, the “run” is (1) Michigan finally reclaiming elite status for one year before the coach that built it left, and they fell back to “very good,” and (2) Ohio State being Ohio State.
If Indiana or Oregon wins a title then I think you’ve got a claim. If Ohio State does it then I’m still thinking it’s an Ohio State achievement more than a Big Ten achievement.
The SEC probably only has Georgia to compete with Ohio State year in year out. But it’s much deeper at the next level of “very good, capable of jumping to elite.” Like half the conference is there lol. Big Ten has maybe 3 or 4 teams there?

Georgia appears to be the SEC's best shot at winning a NC, but they're not an elite team and Ohio State and Indiana are playing at a level never seen before from Big 10 teams.

Now that we have a real playoff, let's see how the conferences fare against each other. Big 10 has 3 teams that could win it this year. SEC has one.

Nope. Doubt they make it past Ole Miss.

SEC has 5 teams in the playoff, one with 3 losses. What the actual frick are you talking about?
