Even the SEC Admits It's Overrated

Описание: The war over SEC hype is finally turning. After another brutal playoff run, the SEC is 3–6 against other leagues in the 12–team era, has not played for a national title in three years, and is getting called out by its own biggest defenders. In this video, I break down why the “SEC is untouchable” narrative is finally cracking and what it means for the Big 12, BYU, Notre Dame, and everyone outside the so-called power two.
We’ll hit:


The SEC’s ugly playoff record and what it really says about the league


Why this three-year title drought puts them on the same level as the Big 12


How this season’s flop helped keep BYU out of the playoff


Peter Burns, Brandon Walker, Kirk Herbstreit, and Joel Klatt all turning on the old SEC talking points


How NIL and the portal have neutralized the SEC’s biggest built-in advantages


Whether the SEC is still the best conference, or if the Big Ten has clearly taken the top spot


What a more balanced national narrative could mean for future playoff bids
