During SEC Spring Meetings in Destin, Florida, this week, head coach Greg Sankey said that despite the Big Ten's recent steak of National Championships, the SEC remains the most dominant conference in college football. Per ESPN:

quote:
"If you look at the entirety of our league, we are by far the most competitive, the strongest football league by far," Sankey told reporters following the second full day of SEC spring meetings. "But you're going to lose games when it's close and competitive like that. So why have they surpassed us? It's an oddball, it's bounced a couple times the wrong way."

"I can assure you that everyone in this league is trying to figure out how to come up on the top end of that in the future," Sankey said, "But I think from a big picture, the breadth, the depth of this league, this league stands alone. In fact, we saw metrics out of the college football playoff presentation where there's no doubt we're the strongest league. Now, there's some segments of other leagues that are towards where we are, but not nearly the entirety of a conference like the Southeastern Conference. It's a pretty special place."

Top to bottom the SEC is dominant. Good example, Florida was in the lower third of the SEC last year and beat Texas. In no world would a bottom third Big 10 team beat the Butteyes. All teams in the SEC have the athletes to beat you in a a given day. The same cannot be said in other leagues.

The SEC teams are beating each other up, in the best conference in the country. As a result, it will be more of a challenge to dominate the CFP.

So the Big 10 wins 2 in a row and wish to call itself dominant. It is definitely laughable and can easily be seen as a strategy employed by the NCAA to save those fanbases that were definitely being dominated.

Like the NFL, the Super Bowl is rarely between small market teams.

3 in a row but who is counting. And the ACC whipped some SEC teams. Stop talking and get to work instead of flapping your lips Sankey. Everyone has a bag now so the SEC actually has to coach and work and not just rely on out talent ing everyone.
