Summary

🔥 Second CFP Rankings Out: Is the Committee OVERRATING the SEC? 🔥

The second round of College Football Playoff rankings has landed — and once again, the SEC's dominance is glaring. With multiple SEC teams occupying top spots while other Power-Four conferences get overlooked, the debate is back: Is the CFP Committee showing favoritism toward the SEC?

In this episode we dive into:

The major changes (or lack thereof) in the second CFP rankings and what they signal about conference hierarchy.
How many SEC teams are still locked in the top-tier and why that's raising eyebrows among Big Ten, Big 12 & ACC fans.
Opinions from analysts about committee bias, including the growing narrative outside the SEC.
What this means for the playoff chances of non-SEC teams and the broader playoff picture.
Final verdict: Are these rankings justified based on performance, or is the SEC getting the benefit of the doubt?

Whether you're a college football fanatic, a fan of the Big Ten/ACC/Big 12, or just love playoff drama, this is your must-watch breakdown of the CFP's latest ranking roller-coaster.
