In the Age of NIL, SEC supremacy is dead

2006-2021: An SEC team won 12x, compared to 4 champs from all other conferences.
Since NIL implementation in July 2021: The SEC has won 1 championship and odds are against a win this year. That's 1/4.
SEC football is very good, but the days of dominance over the rest of the sport are over. Anybody think they know why?
What advantage did the SEC enjoy over the rest of college football that the conference no longer has?

Nah the format and makeup of the SEC just favors the Big 10 right now
Right now the middle of the SEC is so good that every game is a war which just wears down your teams towards the end. You cant get by with 2-3 great efforts and coast, otherwise an extremely dangerous Texas team would be in the playoffs. I think 6-7 SEC teams could have played OSU or Oregon's schedule and gone 11-1 at least

Agree, but the dominant championship teams that outclassed everyone else are gone.
The depth is gone. Paid to start elsewhere. To yourr point, thinner depth makes the gauntlet difficult to conquer.
All this means no more dominant teams toying with the rest of college football.
How did SEC top programs accumulate such a talent advantage prior to NIL and why can't they maintain it now?

And some idiots want more conference games.

This is just wrong and incompetent.

It's fun to label something wrong without any data to back up your claim, but it isn't very convincing.
The SEC hasn't won a championship the past 2 years. Wasn't even represented in the game last year (although some former SEC transfers did figure prominently). The conference likely won't win this year.
You're telling me things haven't changed and the SEC is just as dominant? The results say otherwise.

Simple. Transfer portal. And the GOAT coach retiring.
Unless you are one the Auburn style conspiracy theorists that thinks NIL eliminates a cheating advantage because your school is clean.

You're basing your incompetent argument on 2 years, which is nothing in the grand scheme. Anyone with more than shite for brains knows this is a troll post. The SEC put 5 teams into a 12 team field this year that was forced to include two group of five schools. I know math is probably not your strong suite, but that is 50% of the power schools are from the SEC.
In any case, you're being an insecure troll. Maybe try this post again in 5 years when the potential is there for Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, or Miami to win, because there are about 8 programs in the SEC now that have won a National Championship since the turn of the century.

Tell that to LSU fans. I doubt Lame Kiffin will win a championship at LSU any time soon.

22: UGA
23: Michigan
24: OSU
25: Likely to be a non-SEC team.
I count 1/4 but I'm relying on my public school math education.

I would say he wins a Natty in four years or less.

So when it fits your bullshite narrative we count the one title mired in a cheating scandal?

Settle down. It's okay to debate someone who has a different opinion without calling their argument shite, incompetent or labeling them a troll. We don't do well when we exit our echo chambers.
I'm basing my argument on 3 years- 75% of NIL's total existence.
I agree that it's difficult to have certainty after a few years, but we can talk about things in the moment. No rules saying you have to hold assessment for a decade.
The early returns for the SEC aren't promising.
Great SEC football games week in and week out. Maybe that should be the standard and how the conference is judged. I can buy that. I loved the conference regular season. The best ever, IMO. But not the dominant teams of the past.

Would love for the OP to be right. SEC supremacy is boring.
