1) See [URL="https://syracusefan.com/threads/acc-pac-12-and-big-alliance-conference-realignment.162402/page-88#post-4670545"]ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment[/URL]  HINT: I show you how mathematically the SEC can look great with the four OOC wins, assuming they get the four OOC wins top to bottom, which to my knowledge has never happened.  I will gladly stand corrected if someone has data to prove otherwise.

2) Explain exactly how many SEC teams with 8-4 records will be in the playoffs.  Then explain how they are elite, top dogs with four losses.

3) Many SEC teams sell out in the preseason.  Fans in the seats is not as full as you believe.  Nor will it remain high is a team does not correct the ship.  Further, the big donors will not lay down big money for losing teams.

4) Your math is already faulty, both UT and OU were contenders over the last five years in the Big12. You left out LSU in the SEC.  That is five teams without considering the number 3 and if applicable the number 4 teams.  However, that was never my argument, rather that is your attempt to change the parameters to suit your arguments.  You have failed to consider the argument that nine teams expect to be in the title hunt annually.  Yes, it is mathematically possible to rotate the the annual winners, but you defeat that argument with this post because, as you point out, there are only a few slots at the top to be elite over time, which is and has been my argument, too many teams vying for the top, all with the delusional expectation.  Failure will create a reality check and discouragement in the fanbases that are not at the top.
