Sorry, but I watched a good majority of this Ole Miss game and I’m not impressed. Dart is inept and their running game is meh.

I think the thing about the "SEC is best" narrative that bugs me out is that it's generally true. While I think the gap is typically overstated, the SEC has been the deepest and best from top to bottom in most years that I've been watching (01-present). This doesn't look anything like the usual SEC, and it's about fucking time people start being honest with themselves about it.

Wrong glass, Sir.
They were so-so for decades before they emerged post USC in the mid 00's. Perhaps this will turn out to be a delayed regression to their historical norm. Now, I don't think that is what will happen (too much money and too much obsession on the part of the schools with the foosball), but it wouldn't be entirely out of the question.

The top of the SEC has been good. The middle has been mostly ok. The bottom has been bad. That equals average. That's also the case for nearly every conference (the big ones, at least).

The top of the SEC has been generally (at times clearly) better than every other conferences for the majority of my fandom. I don't like to admit it, but the SEC has been objectively better than the Big Ten, Pac-10/12, Big 12 and the ACC for the better part of the last 20 years or so.
Again, I think the gap is overstated by the "SEC!" folks, but it has been the best conference over that time period. Certainly isn't the case this year though.

SEC was mostly mediocre till the media dick sucking started by ESPN. Them becoming dominant was a self-fulfilling prophecy. ESPN and CBS started sucking that ass and the kids listen. So the best players started flowing to the south. Now they start getting better and the fellatio ramps up with it until this cycle turns bama into a dynasty. Its never been true though. This time last year texas was in the Big12 and magically they are they are super elite since they joined the SEC? Hell missouri made the conference championship their first or second year in the conference..

Clemson plays SMU for the auto-bid. The question is whether a 2-loss Cryami or an SMU team getting a second loss in the CCG gets in ahead of a 3-loss Bama or USCe.
4 for the B1G as long as Indiana beats Purdue
ND
3 other conference champs (prob Boise, SMU/Clemson winner, ASU/Ia St/Colorado Big XII winner
UGA
Tennessee
Texas, prob in even if they lose
Last spot is aTm if they win twice. If they don’t, then Bama, 2-loss SMU, 2-loss Cryami, and USCe are in a beauty contest.
So I now feel dirty ”firmly rooting“ for aTm in order to keep Bama out. But SEC is now likely to get 4.
