And @SethSlyy I would add: those vaunted teams in the SEC that LSU and Alabama have to "somehow maneuver" get to play schools who have lost to: Wyoming, San Jose State, UNLV and Georgia State! And Memphis also beat Ole Miss. Oh and lowly ACC school U of No-Compliance beat one of those gauntlet schools.
The SEC Gauntlet! Big 12 - no defense and all team - went to Stark Ville and beat Mississippi State in the heart of gauntlet country! Oh please already all you folks who have listened to ESPN so much you actually believe the junk about the SEC.
