Re-read the discussion, I never made the claim that the SEC wasn't head and shoulder better than any other conferences.  You are raising a strawman argument.

You have a valid point, the SEC has more recent NCs than everyone else.  I counter that a real playoff may have ended differently.  Regardless, the SEC may have the hot hand now, but historically, it was not always so.  Saban will retire soon enough, who will run the SEC show then?

The SEC is wise for striking while the iron is hot, taking UT and OU, and it may benefit them longer than we hope, but having eight premier teams in a 16 team conference means that most of the time, several of the eight will be mediocre to above average at best.  Only one or two can be elite on a yearly basis.

Besides the NCs, the SEC bowl history is less than stellar.  If you want to claim total dominance, the SEC should be winning all OOC games, both in season and post season, at a significantly higher rate than normal.  Body bag games should not count.

Just my take.
