Playoff Predictor: Welcome back, SEC. We've missed the CFP arrogance
Texas' win over Ohio State capped a huge Week 2 for the SEC, which lands five teams in this week's College Football Playoff Predictor.
This week's playoff spotlight returns to the SEC, a conference that has been sorely missed in recent college football discussions. The season has seen LSU dominate Clemson, Ole Miss (Louisville) and Auburn (Baylor) securing last-play wins. Texas A&M and Missouri have both delivered impressive victories against Arizona State and Kansas, respectively. Texas showcased its prowess with a fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State, reaffirming the SEC's capability to dominate.
The conference's resurgence has been evident, with five SEC teams securing spots in the top 12 of the USA TODAY Sports Playoff Predictor. Texas, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame, and Ohio State have been singled out for their performances. Texas' Steve Sarkisian emphasized the importance of not letting the first half dictate the game's outcome. Meanwhile, Ryan Day faced a critical decision regarding Ohio State, ultimately making a choice that has been widely criticized.
Despite a challenging season for Oklahoma, the conference's overall strength remains clear. The SEC's return to prominence has been a welcome sight, bringing back a certain level of confidence and arrogance in their football prowess. As the playoff picture takes shape, the SEC stands tall, ready to make its mark once again.
