Interesting to see how fan attitudes in the SEC are turning to panic.

“Even being an SEC guy, the Big Ten keeps getting better and better,” said Jordan Rodgers,

a former Vanderbilt quarterback and now a college football analyst.

“The SEC is different. The Big Ten, you’ve just got your big three: Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon. That’s it. Penn State? They’re mediocre.”

Ever since playing for a national champion instead of voting for one, the system has clearly been slanted in the SEC direction.

Start with only 8 conference games. Add in preseason biased rankings and top with ESPN being conference broadcasting and very unclear committee voting, you get a definite SEC advantage.

When Natty's were voted on more conferences won more frequently.

Now that everyone can throw $$ around, it should make it more difficult for the SEC to win it all. Until every conference plays same number of games in conference, the SEC will get the preseason ranking advantage.

Got to admit, reading about their 'panic' is hysterical.
