The dominance the Southeastern Conference exhibits over the rest of college football is not a secret. The conference had eight teams in the final Top 25 College Football Playoff rankings this year. Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M football, and LSU are currently No. 1-4 in the 2019 recruiting class rankings. The SEC has sent the most players to the NFL for the last decade and keep setting records for the most players in the NFL at one time each year.
This was part of the reason Texas A&M decided to join the SEC, and had to be one of the reasons Jimbo Fisher left Florida State to be the head coach of the Aggies.
