after the self-fulfilling prophecy that was the 2011 championship game, i'm surprised more people don't call them out for their bullshit
bama going on an all-time run has clouded how mediocre the conference really has been (and NCAA as a whole, of course) the past few years.
sold out stadiums, ESPN finance-driven agendas, and high production CBS/ABC broadcasts get simpletons to suck them off, but 80% of that conference is dreck. same as all of the other conferences.

but....but...but...ESPN said a two loss Auburn team would probably make the playoff if they won out!!!!
They would. Rather easily, in fact.
I'm not arguing. It's not like they would be deserving though unless a bunch of teams lost a bunch of games.
Look around. There are seven Power 5 teams that have fewer than two losses with four weeks left. 11-2 Auburn would not be viable every year, but this year is an unholy fucking dreckfest.

It's a lot harder to go on a historic run if you have tuff conference games. USC with Carroll didn't either. Once Harbaugh and Kelly had there programs rolling he bounced. Urban Meyer left early in Saban'a tenure at Alabama.
The SEC has never been better than anyone else. They just aren't stupid about it. The one thing they do have are elite, black defensive lineman, but their QB play is usually mediocre.
They don't like to travel outside of their region. They don't like to play away games. They'll always schedule a win if possible. They either have a bye or a tune up before their big games.
The fog of packed stadiums and extreme fanaticism gives the perception that they are just better than everyone else.

Now likely a three loss LSU since they were close to Bama
HTH
