Stop pretending the SEC is still the clear-cut top conference. The gap has closed dramatically. Look at the offseason. Indiana just won the national title and is reloading through the portal. Oregon has the best recruiting class in the country and a loaded QB room. The Big Ten has multiple legitimate contenders. Meanwhile, the SEC lost a massive wave of talent to this NFL Draft, including our own guys. Georgia and Alabama are still elite, but the depth behind them isn't what it was. Texas A&M and Missouri are getting hype, but they have to prove it. The SEC's average SP+ rating across all teams last season was only marginally better than the Big Ten's. This isn't 2020 anymore. The portal and NIL have spread the talent. The SEC is still top two, but calling it the undisputed king is lazy analysis based on brand names, not the actual rosters for 2026.
