The ACC Has Totally Outperformed The SEC In Post-Season Football

You know that tag line the Situational Ethics Conference likes to use – It Just Means More?
Well, maybe…maybe not.
According to Outkick.com, “The bowl season, including the College Football Playoff, has been a complete disaster, from start to finish. With the Ole Miss loss to Miami on Thursday night, the conference fell to 1-8 against non-SEC Power 4 conference teams overall, and 0-3 in the playoff. Alabama was obliterated by Indiana in the Rose Bowl, and Georgia, which had the most amazing accomplishment of all by winning the conference, didn’t win a single game in the playoff.”
And most hilariously of all, the ACC beat every SEC team it played. Miami, which couldn’t even win the ACC’s regular season much less championship (ahem), took care of Texas A&M 10-3 in the playoff, then knocked out Ole Miss and now faces a sensational Indiana for the national championship. Wake crapped all over Mississippi State in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl and Virginia beat Missouri in the Gator Bowl.
No truth to the rumor that Paul Finebaum, the SEC’s answer to Nicolas Chauvin, had to be talked down off the roof of Bryant-Denny Stadium. Since he mentioned leaving the country in that link above if the SEC doesn’t win the national championship, we’ll settle for that. Perhaps the funniest part of the whole situation is that Finebaum has to watch a Big Ten team and an ACC team play for the championship since he despises both conferences. Farewell, cruel playoffs!
The joke online has been that now that everyone can pay players, the SEC has lost its edge, and there is truth in that joke.
However, this is true too: we call it the Situational Ethics Conference for a reason. If other schools can now pay just as much, the SEC schools will just find more creative ways to, uh, prosper.
For one, not much of the House Settlement money will go to basketball after this. The football coaches will not accept that, nor will the fans, which may have consequences for SEC hoops.
We’ve already heard rumblings that basketball coaches at football schools (read: SEC) are angry that the Big East will put their revenue almost entirely into basketball, not that it’s mattered much so far: the Big East is struggling this season, with only UConn ranked. Seton Hall is 13-2 and Villanova is 12-3 but everyone else has at least 5 losses, including Rick Pitino’s St. John’s, which is now a pedestrian 10-5. Pitino is not taking this well, incidentally.
Anyway, look for the SEC to flex its muscles, find ways to pump more money into football, and get Chauvin – er Finebaum – down off the roof of Bryant-Denny and back to braying about the superiority of the SEC.
