SEC Bias: Why the Southeastern Conference Earns More Hype than Other Leagues

[Irish Envy]

The complaining about the SEC has been cranked up to 11 in 2014. People cry they're over-hyped, they get too much respect, and that their conference has now become an echo chamber and self-perpetuating truth wholly immune to losing games to each other.

The SEC had a great run, but that last 3 National Champs were all from the Big 10. ESPN sucks.

hot take - they are probably still right. The team talent composite is still directionally correct and they still dominate that.

Except when the actual game is played

That ranking is entirely set up so ESPN and the SEC can get as many teams in the CFP. So much collusion. Just like last year. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I saw the writing on the wall last year. Looking at the scores, I was thinking the SEC kinda sucks this year. Nobody would listen. Then the playoff games came and proved it. And they got four scrub teams in over the Irish, who would have beat them all. The fifth, A&M, was actually pretty good, IMO.

Can you beleive it, five teams from thar scrub league and no ND. And the only one that made the semis is because they played each other. And here we go again. I would love an SEC/Big 10 challenge week 1. Or even SEC/ACC.
