Apologies if I am misunderstanding your argument, but I believe your argument is that there will be some SEC fan bases uncomfortable with the new reality of being a perennial loser

My argument is that won’t happen because the SEC runs in mini cycles. I believe there have been 5 or 6 different conference champions over the past 20ish years. Similarly, all those teams had bad years and made changes. The fans know they can’t win every year (I.e. Alabama’s run an exception).

LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas A&M (and maybe even South Carolina) all think they should be able to win a title, yet they all can’t.  That’s 7/8 out of 14 today. And then you throw in a program like Ole Miss who might even be able to make a run with Kiffin.

I predict the same thing will happen going forward (as does today)…. They will all be bad at different points and be good at different points

Throw in Texas and Oklahoma, that’s at least 9/10 programs who will do whatever it takes to win. Texas has made several changes. Oklahoma is in a new era of not having a stable HC situation

With the 12 team playoff, 3-4 will make it. A higher percentage than today
