BS.
yes. they are. Purdue is #19 in the CFP rankings..... PSU was ranked, but just dropped out.
Auburn and Arkansas are in the CFP, so if you want to count Purdue, shouldn’t they count those?
Maybe the "SEC bias" is due to the fact that the SEC is clearly the best conference and it isn't really a "bias" at all, just rather being legit.1 - you are using results from 2 years ago.
2 - you are switching from looking at one specific team, and jumping to the entire conference. I was comparing GA with OSU.
and 3 - ever heard of SEC bias in the rankings?? Its very real. please don't try to downplay this. OSU is blatantly screwed over all the time in the rankings. OSU fell 3 separate times in the rankings despite winning handily this year. bama loses to an unranked team, and fell 1/2 the degree most other teams would have. If bama wins a close game, the sports pundits are like" they won a hard fought battle - good teams find a way to win"..........
Ummm LSU was ranked early in the season. Until they played UCLA. That’s just one example there are plenty more.
There's also plenty more cases over the last 15 years that prove the SEC conference really was the best one. If you're just trying to say that because they have made mistakes here and there mean the SEC isn't legit then that's just silly. If I remember correctly Indiana (Big Ten), Iowa State, Texas (Big 12), Clemson, North Carolina, Miami (ACC), USC & Washington (Pac-12) were ranked in the preseason too. So I guess every P5 conference is overrated according to that logic.
I wouldn't say this year........... not sure what you are basing that on.
yea. I was looking at the wrong poll......
This article is kinda fun. It has more SEC storylines by far. With a bunch of Texas.

Auburn is going to drop out, and Arkansas is at 25....... come tomorrow night.
I have to laugh a little at Indiana this year. They were talked up so much preseason.......... but who do you blame?? The team for sucking so bad they are currently ranked in the #100 range or the "experts" who actually thought they were a contender?This article is kinda fun. It has more SEC storylines by far. With a bunch of Texas.
The 70 most overrated teams ever, one from every preseason AP Poll

Well well well......... would you look at that.................
And yet, I still have not been able to find a strength of schedule ranking that shows Ohio St having played a tougher schedule so far. Weird.
Isn't it funny how he mentions the OSU opponents at their peak ranking, whether that's when they played them or not. But Georgia playing three top-11 teams at the time they played and another at #18 doesn't count. I understand the rankings at the time they play isn't always the fairest, but only counting them where they ended up ranked isn't the fairest either. It's somewhere in-between. But either way he has to be consistent. Either count both team's schedule at the time they played the opponents or both team's schedule with their current ranks. Not a combination of that that only fits the pro-OSU narrative.
