SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Along the same lines...
Auburn fan is whining because the Big Ten teams haven't played or beaten enough ranked teams.
Here's where we need that diagram showing that SEC teams' rankings are inflated because they play SEC teams that have inflated rankings.

Same poster, but not the first post in the thread:
Our entire playoff was a joke last year because we let Indiana, SMU, etc in because for some reason the CFB world wants to pretend that playing Wake Forest and Boston College is no different than playing Tennessee and LSU.
Someone else says:
These rankings dont matter, it will all get sorted out in the playoffs.
To which, the original guy responds:
Like last season?

So, okay, let's look at what Auburn did in the non-conference. You know... the part of the schedule that a team can choose.
Alabama A&M
California (lost)
New Mexico
UL Monroe
All home games.

1. Get the voters to stop inflating the SEC rankings and then you'll see more ranked Big Ten teams playing more ranked Big Ten teams.
2. Stop paying attention to the AP rankings to determine strength of schedule.

Damn. I would have loved to have played LSU last year. Result might have been more fun than the Tennessee game.
