When people talk about how tough the SEC is, you’re generally taking about only three teams in any given year. It’s a lot of marketing/ESPN making everyone think it’s some kind of super conference. I’d be more worried about playing in the BIG10.

crazy to think this would happen with espn paying $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for their broadcast rights.


wwl better hope for huge cfb playoff ratings but doing them on nye is espnfs.

This is undoubtedly true but the bowl results aren't necessarily indicative of this. When you put two teams into the playoff, it moves every bowl selection down two notches in the pecking order. So for example, the Sugar bowl this year is Big 12 champ (Baylor) vs. SEC third selection team (Ole Miss) instead of Bama or Georgia. Then there's the trickle down effect for every bowl after that.
