eSECpn still pushing their SEC agenda. Anyone that can't see that just isn't looking. They make me sick, they are the reason we MUST win all 12 games to even be considered for a playoff spot while the SEC could lose 2 games and they'll make the playoffs....LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and Arkansas in the top 10, what?? Arkansas has won only 2 conference games in 2 years...we are going to have Tennessee and Arkansas rammed down our throats next season just like Ole Miss and Miss. state last year. I'm already sick of them and they've barely gotten started!

We now have the CFP system, and that committee has shown they will not bow to the SEC. The SEC false reign is over.

The Committee had a heavy SEC bias

Have you forgotten what the interim rankings looked like? That committee was leaning so heavily toward the SEC, they almost fell in the gulf. If the SEC West hadn't self destructed, there would absolutely have been 2 SEC teams in the playoffs. What would have happened if Miss St. had crushed Ole Miss? tOSU would have been on the outside looking in.

10 teams in the top 25. This is why they always have 4-5

lingering around the top. They play no one out of conference and "beat up" on each other. Therefore when #2 loses to #18, #2 only drops to 5 and #18 cracks the top ten. Even when there is a loss, there is always a net gain on position for the sec. Nice racket you got going sec/espn.

that college football rises up and overthrows the ESPN tyrant, but so far nobody has risen to the challenge. It is long overdue.

So, how exactly do you thing the rest of college football is going to overthrow ESPN? Do you expect the leagues to cancel those multi-million dollar contracts? Do you expect them to favor putting games on TBS or TNT and taking a pay cut while doing so? Do you think that millions of fans are going to stop watching ESPN-U because we don't agree with the talking heads? BTW, those talking heads aren't as nuts over the SEC as you might think.
Also, LSU and Ole Miss will surprise a lot of people next year. There's some serious talent on both those squads and the guys who were freshmen and sophomores will be juniors and seniors.

ESPN will follow whoever's hot. They have pushed the SEC because it's been the hot conference for a decade...if the B1G, PAC-12 or (somehow) the ACC start producing dominating teams (can't just be FSU & Clemson) year after year, then they'll refocus their attention elsewhere.

They have to push their product. That push does give their conference a head start on the polls and starts the bias that builds momentum. It is fun to see them tumble in the end, though.

Is this a joke? Really? Based on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams Stats; Players returning, and ranking of incoming recruiting class? And ARKANSAS is in the top 10? Wow. What are we missing here?

Sounds like you're getting caught up on wins and losses instead of how the team actually played.

If that were true, UGA would be 20'ish.***

That formula was very flawed last season. Looks like it hasn't improved much.

There's an article in the ACC blog by David Hale about the recruiting of Clemson and FSU. It's about how both teams have taken over as the top teams in the ACC. But Mr Hale found a way to bring the SEC into the article. He starts talking about Bama, Auburn, and UGA. He found a way to twist an article in the ACC blog about ACC recruiting into including the SEC.
