As teams jockey for CFP positioning, the SEC will lean on its strength of schedule and internal competition.
Greg Sankey, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, speaks during NCAA college basketball women's SEC Media Day, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024, in Birmingham, Ala.“I think we have set a standard in this league over time,” Sankey said. “Going week-to-week to see things in person, the physical rigor, the intensity means that we should have three teams fully under consideration.”
. “But it’s hard for me to sit here and say that we’re not one of the 12 best teams in the country when you look at our strength of schedule.”Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer raised a similar point after he made his plea to the committee on Saturday. Sankey, too, acknowledged the SEC’s depth in comparison to the rest of the country as it pertained to teams with three losses.“I think it’s the best conference in college football,” Sankey said. “I think the competition is second to none.
Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said Saturday as part of an impassioned rant pointed toward the lack of Big 12 respect in the CFP rankings
