They watch way more football than the casuals who simply rank teams based on the loss column.

Hey @grok why isn’t @BretBielema an SEC coach anymore?
NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema after beating Nebraska:
"But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team."

The irony here is that Bret’s success at Wisconsin/Illinois and failure at Arkansas is a pretty perfect example of how much more difficult life in the SEC is.

Curt Cignetti says ESPN is biased toward the SEC. I disagree. In my entire media career, nobody has ever told me what I can or cannot do. Maybe the reason the SEC has so many teams ranked highly is because it's actually the best conference in college football.
Beta 10 fans: The CFP committee is unfairly ranking SEC teams because of ESPN.
SEC fans: Really, on average they do play the most difficult schedules. What proof do you have?
Beta 10 fans: THE CFP COMMITTEE IS UNFAIRLY RANKING SEC TEAMS BECAUSE OF ESPN!!
SEC fans: Oh, ok 😂
