🏈 SEC Cycle Continues, Will It last Forever

[0LDSCH00L]

Oh Lord, Cry me a river!


What's the cost of SEC hegemony?

It was the Crimson Tide's second consecutive title and third in four years.
And, as noted, the seventh in a row for the SEC.

Great for the SEC. Not so great for the 106 other Football Bowl Subdivision programs, most particularly the supposedly privileged programs in the other major conferences: the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten and ACC.

"I don't think there's any question it would be better for college football if the national championship moved around a little bit," said Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, echoing sentiments expressed by everyone in college football outside the SEC.

I wonder who the first conference to knock the SEC off will be. Ohio State is a possibility. Maybe Oregon or Stanford. I don't see the Big 12 being very threatening.

It will only happen if the SEC is ever left out of the game by the voters and the media!:bluebiggrin:

You gotta embrace the hate.

I thought the article was spot on. It seems like some of you may not have read it. The title of the article makes it sound like smear. The article tells a different story. He makes valid points and it's a compelling read.
