To be fair, this is because Bama getting smoked by Indiana isn't the only CFP data point for the SEC.

Tulane and JMU were the only two G5 in the CFP: Tulane got smoked by an SEC team, JMU got smoked by a B1G team. For most of us, that confirmed the obvious, the G5 shouldn't even be in this thing and there is no contra-evidence.

TxTech was the only B12 in the CFP and they got smoked by a B1G team. That makes the B12 look bad and there is no contra-evidence.

The SEC had five teams in this thing so there is a lot more data to work with. The Alabama over Oklahoma and Ole Miss over Georgia games don't tell us anything about the SEC because those were intra-SEC affairs but here are the other SEC results:
  • Ole Miss big over Tulane.
  • aTm competitive loss to Miami
  • Bama smoked by Indiana
That doesn't support the idea that the SEC doesn't belong overall. They are 3-4 overall and 1-2 against non-SEC teams. Not great but not awful and vastly better than the G5 and B12.

SEC hasn’t beaten a team from another P4 conference. Think on that.

Their only team that's still alive is the one without a HC.

IMO The bad part is tOSU lost, the good part is the SEC had 5 teams in the CFP and now are relying on OL Miss to keep them relevant. The Finebaum show will be wonderfully entertaining

Will be at tonight's Holiday Bowl. Arizona Vs SMU.

Arizona's fan base is out in full force across San Diego, and took over the Gaslamp District last night for an informal bar crawl last night:

Gaslamp is a lot of fun. Is it being kept pretty clean by the city?
