How did the SEC even become the best conference?

[Colin X]

I don't get it, how did people just decide the SEC is the gold standard?



Most of the teams save for like 4 are absolutely garbage.

Multiple national championships in a row.

Too bad they ain't shyt now though

 

[Absolut]

being top heavy, having most of bowl tie ins be virtual home games, and media hype that the rest of the average/bad teams in the conference form a guantlet so a loss doesnt sting as bad.

Because Ohio State shyt the bed 2 years in a row

 

[PortCityProphet]

Yo Op when did you start watching college football?

 

[Remote]

Because that's where all the best players in the country come from?



A lot of em, anyway.

 

[RammerJammer]

Because Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, and Notre Dame....that's why.

Because Tebow, Harvin, Ingram, Newton, Honey Badger, Cooper, Henry, ...

Because the Big Ten & Pac 10 fell off during that time...

I didn't realize Utah was pretty close to being AP champs in 2009 but by then ESPN SEC Propaganda was at an all time high

Migration to the south, perfect weather for year round football, $$$$$, bag men, elite coaches, an entire network in their back pocket that went full blown the year Auburn went undefeated and didn't play for the national title, then the narrative built from there....and a myriad of other factors

SEC is just Alabama and a bunch of other teams now.

They'll never have another run like they had from '06 to '12 because of the playoff.

Once black folks decided to go to those racist schools.

SEC dominates college football because of location. Most of the black population in America lives in the south and kids are more likely gonna stay close to home than go across the country.

If most black folks lived in the north then the big 10 would be the gold standard cause that's where all the great black athletes would go.

Bowl season hasn't even begun yet. I hope you give this years bowl games as much attention as yall did last year.

Right now, 9 of the 10 SEC teams are favorites to win their bowl.

I'd love to see what happens here is the SEC goes 10-1 during the bowl season and Alabama wins the national championship.

I'm gonna guess bowl season won't matter once again if that happens.

Or it could be the 7 straight national titles, having the most players drafted into the NFL for 10 straight years running, and dominating national signing day every year during recruiting.

SEC dominance is a result of location. Most of the great athletes in college football are black. Most black folks live in the south. Hence it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the SEC has so much success.

Its the same reason Clemson and Florida State dominate the ACC. You don't see Boston College winning the ACC cause ain't no black folks that far north. Even the most successful ACC program are in the deep south in states with large black populations.
