    The good news is the rankings don't mean **** anymore. Just fun conjecture.

    I would like to think they don't, but we both know a lot of this committee will be influenced by all the ESecPN crap about so and so beating so many ranked teams.

    They're already talking about MSU's 3 straight victories over top 10 teams. Two of those teams won't even be ranked next week. (Not to take anything away from MSU because they are a solid team.)

    ...

    why even pretend it's exclusive to the SEC?

    not even going to bother listing all of the overrated nonsense teams from other divisions in recent years

    I know it's not exclusive to the SEC but I feel like it's more prominent in the SEC.

    #15 Arizona St loses their 1st game to then #11 UCLA and drops out of the top 25. #6 TAMU loses to then #12 MSU and drops to #16. How does that work?

    SEC teams just seem to always get the benefit of the doubt with the pollsters.

    The SEC West is 26-0 vs teams not in the SEC West.
    The two best teams in the country are from Missisippi.
    Cuntucky (Kentucky) is the 2nd best team in the SEC East.
    Hell has frozen over.

    Do you realize how many championships the sec has won over the last 16 years? And with the exception of last years nail biter, they won every time playing a team from a different conference?

    If any conference has earned the benefit of the doubt it's the sec

    It's a lot easier to win the national championship when you are almost guaranteed a spot in the title game.

    I'm not saying the SEC isn't the best conference, well the SEC West anyways (the East is not all that good) but I think the supremacy is a little exaggerated.

    SEC West is having a terrible down year. Really started last year, but this year it's just not the division it normally is.

    Just for a healthy reminder, Florida State, OklahomaX2, OhioStateX2, Texas, Oregon, Notre Dame, all had those chances to win against an SEC team and failed. Obviously Florida State did win last year so they are the only non SEC team to beat an SEC opponent in the Championship game; of course it was an extremely close game.

    Will do. Make sure to let me know when Tennessee is relevant again.
