Miami is ACC country and you ignored that I proved your point wrong of stating "all 12 games were played in SEC country" was absolutely wrong. And the Atlanta game was between 2 SEC teams.

So Florida isn't in the SEC?

Next I suppose you're going to tell me Texas doesn't have a team in the SEC.

The real bottom line on all of this N-E-S-W who is the best and why it's easy just follow the population.....and money!  25 maps show it all.

The SEC in general has a great and growing advantage, the BIG TEN used to be king. From SB Nation, great article  https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/8/20/6030683/25-maps-that-explain-college-football

7 out of 12 are in SEC country...and ZERO are north of the Mason Dixon Line.

Domes aren’t only found in the south Tex.

Oh...look, the Big 10 went 7-1. . .

Yep-caused by so many SEC National Champions - 9 of the last 12.

One team really Alabama or should I say East Germany otherwise they have two or three at the most.

Maybe you should tell that to NFL scouts who keep loading up on SEC players.

BTY  Directional School #2 Clemson  28  --  Texas A&M  26.

Meanwhile OSU goes 3-0 against 2-10 OreST,  1-11 Rutgers and  6-6 Tulane, the latter two at home.

Every team puts a couple of easy games on the schedule to pad it while getting ready for the tough schedule in respective conferences.

Teams put a couple cupcakes SEC puts three or four.  And the only reason the SEC gets teams ranked is because they have so many wins over so many cupcakes.

That is a must for any playoff, bowl, National Championship, big winter conventions, whatever CLE should have looked into it decades ago like MIL, DET, MIN etc.

How does a 2 loss Georgia team stay in the top 5?

I’ll take a guess and call it SEC bias.

Nothing special about the SEC - they only have to be "up" for 2-4 games a season depending on who's relatively good that year.  All their out-of-conference games are either directional state schools or division 2 military academies.  If you're guaranteed either 3 or 4 wins each season and so you only have to win 2 out of the final 7 to be bowl-eligible of course they "look" good on paper.

They recruit exactly the same people as everyone else.. nothing magical about them other than the ESPN bl$wjob$.

Texas is in real trouble in NO. They have no idea how Georgia will try to play keepaway with those two great backs Holyfield (Evander's son) and Swift. And their defense knocked Bama's QB out of the game and what does Texas have? A QB that thinks he should be a RB half the time. Our best friends are UT grads and are going to the game, but even they are saying, "Oh shit!"

If anyone wants more information on this just see the COLLEGE FORUM.

And bowls? From SB Nation.......

First, the College Football Playoff

• Orange (Miami): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Oklahoma
• Cotton (Arlington, Texas): No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Notre Dame
• Championship (Santa Clara, California): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 2 Clemson

Next: the rest of the New Year’s Six

Automatic bids:

• Rose (Pasadena, California): Ohio State vs. Washington
• Sugar (New Orleans): Texas vs. Georgia

Thanks to the rankings up top, these are all essentially booked.

At-large bids:

• Peach (Atlanta): Florida vs. Michigan
• Fiesta (Glendale, Arizona): LSU vs. UCF

They're still going to play a new years day bowl game and that will make the program a shit ton of money and exposure.   I think though the playoffs should be expanded to 8, just for the fun of seeing a team like UCF get their shot.

Yeah now that I could go for #8 UCF vs #1 ALA or CLEM or ND.  

Splat!

.......oh edit add, I'm all for an 8 team playoff.

@texasag1969 said:

I assume this was put on the Pro Football Board because of the SEC West being Pro and not college. LOLOL!?

Yeah, slow news day but UCF, really? Like the old Boise State that might win one big game and want in with the P5 teams. JUST LOOK....,,
