(4,446 posts)Georgia did deserve to be ranked in front of Oregon. Who did Oregon beat that was better than Florida? There's no way that Oregon stays on the field with Alabama like Georgia did. The first time Oregon ran into something resembling a defense, they wet the bed. Stanford has what would be a mid-level SEC defense. By the way, for you non-Stanford PAC-12 fans, a "defense" is the part of the team that is supposed to prevent scores by the opponent's offense, instead of waving at various backs or receivers as they go by.
Ranking SEC teams higher isn't "bias" or "entitlement" if it's earned. Earned by the SEC cleaning the rest of the country's clock on a very regular basis. The only team to beat an SEC team in the championship game is another SEC team. Oregon? No. Oklahoma? No. Ohio State? LOL.
Please. Oregon couldn't even make it to the conference championship game in a second-rate conference. The SEC is a level above. Best teams. Best players. Best coaches. Best stadiums. Best traditions. Most devoted fans. The rest of you need to learn your station, and stand up and salute your betters instead of crying "bias."
