You need to recheck your math - I only see Bama 5 times and I’ve been told by other conferences that SEC is just Bama and teams riding their coattails

This has always been a hilarious argument the SEC haters try to make. It's true Bama has done the lion's share of the SEC's dominance at the national level the past 10 years, but trying to call the SEC a 1 team league is patently absurd.

The SEC is the only conference that ISN'T a 1 team league. You've had 5 programs in the SEC win national championships in recent history (6 if you want to count Tennessee's in 98). You've had 3 programs win multiple national championships and 4 programs play for multiple.

You wanna see real 1 team leagues? Check out the ACC (Clemson) or the Big12 (Oklahoma). The Big10 seems to have some depth at times but even still nobody but Ohio State can actually seriously contend for the natty.

Then you have the PAC12, now a 0 team league.

The SEC's clear dominance over college football began in the early to mid 2000's. Saban's arrival at LSU and Meyer's arrival at Florida sorta were the turning point for the SEC beginning to leave the rest of college football behind.
