I see six SEC grams ranked in the top 25 for SOS compared to one ACC team at this link. So it’s not just me.

Again, the ACC was 6-4 against the SEC this year. “SEC Dominance” is based off of the other SEC teams riding Alabama’s coattails. Nothing today has any relevance to FSU joining the ACC in 1992.

Whatever the case is, there is no point in having a playoff if Power 5 undefeated conference champions aren’t going to play other Power 5 conference champions. FSU was robbed, and this was a political decision to appease the monied powers of the SEC.

More power to the committee for going where the money is and being bought off, but let’s not pretend this had anything to do with strength of schedule. That’s an excuse.

In the BCS system, Washington would play Michigan for the national title, and FSU would be excluded for the weakest schedule. That is a PROPER use of the SoS metric, not using it to have two 1-loss teams leapfrog an undefeated Power 5 conference champion.

It’s ridiculous and political; thankfully it’s all over next year.
