Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea is making his case and believes a 10-2 team in the SEC is better than a 10-2 team anywhere else in the country...

“This should be about the 12 best teams in the country and a 10-2 team in the SEC … look, obviously we love our league. It just means more here and all that kind of stuff, but there’s a level of respect that needs to be held for the gauntlet we’ve been through and how we’ve met the match and done the things we need to do,” Lea told OutKick this week. “I mean, it is just absurd the idea that we’re going to open the door to teams that play in conferences that aren’t the SEC that have the same record we have. I mean, it’s crazy.

“That is the system, so that’s where the work needs to be focused on — fixing it. But some of the goalposts moving is this idea that the top five conference champions are allowed into the playoff. I’ve seen some projections now with teams that have no business being in, and yet, they’re included.”
