SRS has Alabama #1 and the SEC as the #1 conference. It has 7 teams in the top 25. Pac-12 has only 4 teams in the top 29. SRS is an objective rating system. There have been plenty of years where it has had the Pac-12 as the best conference and not the SEC like 2013 for example.
Furthermore, look at the two metrics Football Outsiders combines to rate how efficient teams are. Alabama is #1 with a healthy lead over #2. Again the SEC has 7 teams in the top 25 with the Pac-12 having only 3 in the top 28.
Here is the conclusion: Alabama is clearly #1. SEC is the clear best conference again but will only get one team in the playoff.
Puppy never responds to my post on this because he can't. There is no objective or reasonable way to argue against this.

There absolutely is a way to argue against this:
