Since the beginning of this football season, quite a few in the sports media had been hoping for, and searching for a BCS champion not from the SEC. Most of the ESPN Game Day guys predicted Alabama to lose two or more games, and USC was a favorite in Week 1.
There has been quite a lot of searching for a champion not from the SEC, but that search looks more and more futile with each succeeding weekend of college football. Some were even beginning to promote West Virginia until they visited Texas Teach and the illusions came crashing down, and even more so after a visit from KSU.
And now many of the searchers are turning to KSU. Snyder does remarkable job there, but his teams are yet to defeat any top programs outside the Big 12. The searchers will continue to search, but I think we’ll see the seventh consecutive champ from the SEC in late January.
