SEC Gets Crushed on Social Media After Poor College Football Playoff Showings

After going 1-2 in the opening rounds of the 2024 College Football Playoff, SEC fanboys have had a tough time defending the league’s superiority complex.

The lone SEC win came against Big 12 Champion Arizona State, who took the Texas Longhorns to double overtime in spite of a botched targeting call.

While individuals like Lane Kiffin, Paul Finebaum, Heather Dinich, and many more had lots to say during SMU and Indiana’s opening-round losses, it’s been all quiet since then, with games lost by Tennessee and Georgia.

Social media kicked off into a frenzy after the pair of losses, and here were some of the best reactions to the situation on social media.

The “Big Bad SEC” was a targeting call away from missing the Semis pic.twitter.com/g9sBRJi3ON

So it’s the first year with a 12-team playoff where you have to win your way into the final four, and we are now fully in the NIL and portal era.

And suddenly, the only SEC team that actually made it out of the quarter finals wasn’t even in the conference a year ago.

The one SEC team in the Semis is a team that could only win the Big 12 four times in 28 seasons with triple the annual budget of the average fellow member. pic.twitter.com/CJL6pwW6im

Northern Illinois would’ve won the SEC.

The SEC is officially a dead conference.

I must say it is interesting that the fall of the SEC’s dominance, the fall of Alabama, and Georgia coming back to normal all happened as soon as every team could start legally paying players.

The Power 2 narrative has never been weaker. Both the SEC and Big Ten champs got blown out wire to wire in their 1st round games
