The top level of college football is getting more and more like the NFL, which is to say, boring.

I thought the rose bowl was quite entertaining

Yes, because it's like the opposite of the SEC/Saban football.

Alabama is the ridiculous outlier, not the conference as a whole.

They have had 5 different teams win the natty in the last decade bruh

1) That isn't true
2) They've had one team win it since 2010.

Sure they were the best conference from 2006-2011 or whatever. Now they are a normal conference + Alabama.

Last time I checked Alabama, Florida, LSU , Auburn,

Ok it's only 4 which is more than every other conference combined in the same time frame.

Alabama is like an NFL team that managed to trade for almost all the other teams' first round picks.

The last ten years isn't particularly relevant to how good the SEC is this year. The past 5 years, ACC has more championships than SEC. Only Bama has won it in the last 5. Georgia certainly could win it but OU looked just as good as they are.

The SEC is definitely the best conference over the last ten years but I haven't seen anybody other than Bama in that conference perform so much better than the teams in the B12, B10, or ACC in the last 5.

Well they were 1-5 in bowl play going into yesterday’s games. But their top two teams did help make them a respectable(?) 4-5. So yea, SEC rules.

The SEC but only because they are essentially the B12, B10, or ACC plus Bama. I just don't get glorifying the conference as whole as better than the rest when its a single team as an outlier that is causing it. Its not like Georgia just beat the crap out of OU.

steve dave · « **Reply #18 on:** January 02, 2018, 11:02:24 AM »

you always hear about SEC speed but I think SEC depth is just a big of an advantage for them.

The tippy top of the SEC is very very good. But it's only slightly better than the tippy top of other conferences.

Teams 3-14 are about on par with other conferences.

mocat · « **Reply #20 on:** January 02, 2018, 11:44:47 AM »

having 14 teams and not having any of them be truly truly awful dogshit is also a difference the SEC has over the other P5s.

Kansas, Baylor, Oregon State, Illinois, and North Carolina are all worse than the SEC's worst team (Tennessee), who still managed to beat two halfway decent noncon opponents (georgia tech & southern miss)

The SEC has to punch up in all of it's bowl match ups.

SEC #1 v Big 12 #1
SEC #2 v AAC #1
SEC #3 v ACC #1
SEC #4 v highest ranked Independent

Yea, those were the games they made up ground. As stated before the very top is very good. Now do the rest of the conference that sucked it up this bowl season.

wetwillie · « **Reply #23 on:** January 02, 2018, 12:08:24 PM »

If you look at the best coaches thread it's pretty clear the PAC 12 and BIG 10 are poised to dominate the rest of college football for the foreseeable future.
