have is that the SEC went 7-5 in bowl games last year (ranked teams went 2-5) and they didn't win the national championship once the playoff format was brought in. The Pac 12 did 6-2 and ranked teams were 5-1. Didn't the SEC have one week last year they went 0-4 against the ACC as well?
As far as I'm concerned once the playoff started it's a new era for CFB.
I'm not saying the SEC isn't the best. I'm just not ready to automatically concede without any question that it is. I think there's a lot of parity and a lot of solid football teams out there.
