1. SEC
The SEC is the best league in college football. If you don’t believe me, just ask a fan of a school in the conference, and they’ll tell you. Oh yes, they’ll tell you over and over again, and yes, it can certainly be obnoxious.
Despite not winning the national title in the past two seasons, the SEC is still the top dog because of elite programs at the top and the depth throughout the whole conference. Schools like Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Texas can compete for national titles year-in and year-out.
The SEC has what the Big Ten has, but it’s the second and third tiers of this conference that put it over the top. That “second-tier” that consists of Tennessee, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and South Carolina is much tougher and more resource-rich than any other conference in the country.
The bottom is tougher as well, with teams like Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Arkansas being very capable of knocking you off if you don’t play well. You just can’t usually say that about Purdue or Northwestern.
SEC Title Odds: Texas +290, Georgia +300, Alabama +490, LSU +600
