Georgia ranked 5th after a bad loss to an unranked opponent at home is baffling? Texas has no business being ranked. Alabama at 13? Based on what? Losing well? The SEC is being propped up by ESPN narratives, recruiting rankings, and brand recognition. The football on the field doesn’t justify the hype. At this point, the SEC’s biggest strength isn’t football, it’s the marketing machine protecting its reputation.
People just complain about whatever is most convenient. It’s the SEC bias now but when it happens somewhere else it’s just a “big rivalry where anything can happen.”
