By any way you want to look at the stats the SEC and Big10 have dominated college football throughout all eras of its history.
One can not like the facts all they want, but that doesn't change them.
You clearly don’t see what’s happening here.
Nobody’s arguing history.
We’re in an era now where the major media entities have directly aligned their bottom lines and their payouts to 2 conferences. As a product of this they’ve become cheerleaders for 2 conferences because they want to understandably drive viewership & their own bottom lines.
As a result of these mutually vested interests, they’ve found a way to tilt the actual competitive playing field even further to the advantage of their partners-and that’s exactly what they are.
The only people that think this is good are people that are fans of two conferences, that’s it, and that’s because it gives even the mediocre members of said conferences a financial advantage over programs that have consistently outperformed them. And there’s plenty of mediocrity in both conferences.
You can waste your breath elsewhere with the Aw shucks the SEC & B1G have always been better routine. There’s a reason the SEC & B1G have bought out the Big 12’s biggest brands, genius.
Lastly, the hubris & arrogance of both conferences to even float the idea of an automatic bye couldn’t be a better illustration of your ridiculous point of view. ‘ We’re better, because of our history, trust us, but we want to build in just a few more advantages.’
Before you even start a weak reply, the NFL agreed with me on this 30 years ago because they understood the health of their sport depended on actual true competition. Not giving Dallas or NY advantages because they have the most fans.
