"Bama would be the fourth, potentially fifth team in these rankings for the SEC. So, we're not trying to these idiots that say, How much do people pay you to say this bullsh*t? F off! We're talking about the sport. We're talking about what we care about. I don't give a sh*t about the SEC. I give a sh*t about, where are they going to come? How are they going to find these 12 teams?"
"How are they going to split these hairs at 11, 12, 13, 14? It's fascinating to me. I don't really care who they put in. Put Miami in. I don't care. I don't care if you put six Group of 5 teams in. Do whatever you want to do. I'm just saying based on what the Sagarin ratings, the AP, the Coaches Poll, everybody recognizes the depth and the challenge of the SEC."
The Southeastern Conference is widely viewed as college football's gold standard, featuring programs such as Georgia, Alabama, and LSU. Critics argue that the SEC's reputation leads to teams receiving higher rankings than deserved and claim media outlets and analysts show conference favoritism. Objective metrics like Sagarin ratings, the AP Poll, and the Coaches Poll are cited to justify the depth and challenge of the SEC and the placement of multiple conference teams in national rankings. The emphasis is on finding the best 12 teams regardless of conference, and accusations of bias are dismissed as disconnected from competitive reality.
