That is the exact type of Comm you want to be heading up your league.

They need 7 teams in the playoff cause their only chance of a SEC team making the final is for them to only play other SEC teams.

I really think it is starting to work against them because they really think playing OOC is like beating up on Miss St and Arkansas. Then they face a real team from OOC and they get a little shellshocked like whoa why are these guys so big and fast?

SEC =TRASH PERFOMANCE
The power of the sec was under the table payments. Now that it is above the table, talent is spread around to many teams including non-typical ones like Indiana. If people think 2025 was a fluke, wait until we get to 2030 with limited SEC success.

Holy sheeeeeit. This "SEC Numbers Guy" is insane.
Tyson-Holyfield fights were in 1996 and 1997. The Tyson-Paul fight was in 2024. Which means Mike Tyson had 27 years to recuperate after going 10 rounds with Holyfield (the 1997 fight went 3 rounds before The Bite).
Otherwise, another PERFECT ANALOGY from "SEC Numbers Guy"...
..."the same logic applies here"...

“The war of attrition you experience in this league, and the injuries and the violence that you get week-in and week-out playing against teams with this much quality on their roster, takes its toll,” McElroy said Tuesday night on SEC Now. “So by the time you get to the Playoff, you’re beat up, you’re banged up and frankly, it’s not like, ‘Oh, you’re calloused. You’re ready to roll.’ No, you’re exhausted. So I think that’s part of the reason why the SEC hasn’t been as good in the postseason. Because they, at that point, are out of gas.
“They’ve got to figure out a way to reinvent themselves between the last game of the regular season or the SEC championship game and the playoffs so that they can go [upward] as opposed to [downward], which is exactly what we’ve seen the last few years in the league.”

2025 SEC teams in the CFP
3. UGa
6. Ole Miss
7. aTm
8. Oklahoma
9. Alabama
Four of those five teams lost the VERY FIRST GAME they played against a non-SEC team.
The ONLY team that beat any non-SEC teams was Ole Miss. You know, the school that "should have" been out of gas, what with its head coach leaving, and the constant uncertainty as to who would be on the sidelines coaching each week.
Two of those five teams played non-SEC teams in the final regular-season weekend. Another one played Auburn in the final weekend, and another played Mississippi State. Auburn and MSU were 2 of the 4 worst teams in the SEC, each having only ONE win in the SEC on the year.
Four of those five teams had THREE WEEKS to recover from that brutal SEC season before playing their first CFP games.
I would challenge anyone to list the significant injuries for any of those five teams which led to "CFP-time" SEC teams being weaker than "regular-season" SEC teams.
And yet over and over and over and over and over again, we are led to believe that the SEC, somehow, has it HURDER than any other conference, at least when it comes to translating their inherent greatness into, you know, ACTUAL CFP WINS.
Look, I have an ideal solution for all of this. If F$U, when they lost their QB in 2023, was sooooooo much worse as a CFP team than they had been during the regular season, then why can't we apply the same logic to the SEC?
Since the big, bad SEC is soooooo beat up after suuuuuuuch a challenging regular season that they "just aren't themselves any longer", then we should all try to reflect that reality by lowering the CFP rankings of all the poor, poor bruised SEC teams.
So let's re-rank 2025 for CFP purposes.
3. UGa - hey, they won the SEC championship.
6. Miami - hey, we pretty much proved that we were ranked too low, correct?
7. Notre Dame - they only lost to the #6 team
8. BYU - 11 wins and no "hurd schedule" whining
9. Utah - 10 wins and also no whining
10. UVa - I thought we weren't punishing teams that lost the conference championship, right?
11. Tulane - them's the rules
12. James Madison - ditto
This act of kindness will allow four SEC-SEC-SEC teams to slooooowly recover from their brutal 2025 conference schedule in time for their brutal 2026 conference schedule. And after all, they are being richly compensated by ESPN for all of that amazing regular-season content that is just soooooo much better than anyone else's content.
Honestly, would the CFP have turned out any differently with those teams above? I mean, I guess we would have lost a couple of weeks of hand-wringing about whether Ole **** could survive without Lane Train, but other than that, would anyone else have noticed a near-complete-absence of SEC schools?
I think not.
Be kind. Let the SEC heal. Keep them out of the CFP.

Help me here. Am I reading this right? So what the SEC wants is a revenue sharing cap tied to each conferences revenue? So the SEC would have a huge advantage. Then the Big10 after them. And then they want to have their own committee that will approve or deny every single NIL deal that is protected from government or legal intervention? So a committee appointed by god knows will be determining fair market value on a case by case basis.
Seems like if they just want a huge advantage and the power to cripple who they want to cripple (probably us).
