This is the first time since the BCS came to be that a team from the South won’t be in the CFB championship game.
I was surprised at the big plays Alabama gave up. Unlike their entire season.
But Florida State showed teams what to do: Go to the SEC coaches and build your program from there. Urban Meyer may be the second former SEC coach to win a title this year.
However, Oregon looked unstoppable in the second half. Gotta expect them to be a 6-8 point favorite in the NC game.
This was the highest rated college football year in history. The limited playoff system generated a ton of interest and everyone feels like they have a shot.
TCU looked like they may have been the best team from the south in the bowl game. Too bad they blew their chance losing to Baylor late.
SEC was overall a bit down this year. Lot of young talent though and next year should be back on track.
I’d like to see more of the triple option Ga Tech / Oregon offense in the SEC. It’s entertaining to watch and effective.

That’s true...and why I’m neutral this year. I’m from the South. But have to say, the other teams are just better this year. Bama looked a little weak even at the start of the season. Ole Miss is always an up and down team. LSU definitely had an off year. And on and on down the list of SEC teams.
I really think the SEC dominance has come to an end. Other teams are getting the same edge, whether it be recruiting, training, better coaches, more steroids...whatever.
