Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
The BCS didn't make the SEC great
As my friend
@HoustonHusky pointed out, the SEC only won two of the first eight BCS playoff titles.
They only had one of those wins before Nick Saban and Urban Meyer built programs that won seven of their other eight titles. Now Saban is 63 and sounds ready to retire while Meyer is building a dynasty in Columbus.
Two great coaches made the SEC great, not the playoff system.
As we've always said, coaching matters.

It might happen again in 10 days.
The system didn't have a bias to the SEC. It had a bias in favor of great coaching.
For some reason, I think seven conference wins is better than five. Sark was a huge fan of 5-4 seasons though.
Sagarian overrated the SEC like everyone else. They didn't beat one top 10 team out of conference or bowl seasons. When UCLA beats Kansas State, maybe not even a top 20.
ASU will finish ahead of Arizona. With a win, UCLA will too. Those are facts. USC and Utah have outside chances as well.
Sagarin tends to dramatically overrate some conferences every year and his system clearly overrates the SEC and the Pac-12 South this year.
Then again, who do you rate when every conference sucks?
