Last time no SEC team received a first-place vote in preseason AP poll?

Happened the other day, but I'm talking about the last time before that. I have no idea, which is why I'm asking.
My guess would be the Southern Cal glory days from about 20 years ago.

SEC has to win it this year. I don't even care who does it.
ok not Oklahoma...but everyone else I'd be ok with. A baseball and fb NC in Norman would be too much to bear.

Looks like 2015 was unanimous for Ohio State #1 in the preseason. And the last time before that looks like 1989 preseason poll didn’t have a first place vote for an SEC Team. Including the new comers to the SEC.

How has Texas not won a natty in the NIL era? Texas was built for this.

1. You realize the "NIL Era" is only a few years old right? It's not like this system has been in place for 20 years. We are in what? year 5 of NIL now?
2. Sark is simply not a championship level coach. All the highly skilled players we can get can't change that inconvenient fact.

why would I give the slightest shite? I don't cheer for conferences.
I want my school to win. If they don't, I sure don't want all of our biggest annual competitors to win instead.
eta: think about the level of retardation of a UGA fan actively cheering and rooting their arse off for bama or florida or tennessee to win a natty just because they happen to be in the same collection of member schools as us.

UGA has won two in the NIL era. What do yall need? 50 years? Indiana won one and Texas hasn’t

It’s mostly a battle cry for the have nots and tv networks. Fans of schools that aren’t playing for titles are still eyeballs(dollar signs). Keeping those fans engaged until Jan while there team checked out in October is about profit.

You don't think all these college football writer nerds want to be correct in the end and they're not competetive against each other?
Or do you think it's some sort of elaborate conspiracy among college football writer nerds?

Well said. A lot of retards on this board don’t understand that it is possible to acknowledge that the conference being stronger as a whole can help all teams while simultaneously thinking it is weird and gay to sit there and root for other SEC teams like it’s your team

Very few if any will probably admit it now, but I'd say around 40 percent of Georgia fans were rooting for Florida in the 2006 national championship game. It was the most bizarre shite ever.
That's back when ESPN was still such a big factor in college football and controlled the conversation. Fans allowed ESPN to scramble their brains, including a bunch of Dawg fans.
That was the "ESPN hates (insert name of your favorite team)" era.

I think it’s about money and keeping interest up for fans that have no rooting interest. It’s not rocket science

What's the fincancial incentive for the beat writer at the Starkviille Daily Bumfrick or the Boise Bulletin to vote for certain teams in certain places.
Everything isn't a conspiracy.

You clearly struggle with reading comprehension. I'll repost an important point I made that you clearly missed.
2. Sark is simply not a championship level coach. All the highly skilled players we can get can't change that inconvenient fact.
read that part twice if you need.
