The Southeastern Conference proudly boasts the slogan “It just means more.”
Each college football season, teams within the 14-member alliance set out to prove why the league—one that annually attracts many of the country’s most talented players—is the most dominant in the sport, with teams such as Georgia, Alabama and LSU leading the charge.
However, the mighty SEC has struggled so far this season, posting a 3-6 record against Power 5 nonconference opponents. Utah stifled Billy Napier’s Florida squad, giving the dissolving Pac-12 a victory in Week 1. The ACC entered the conversation when North Carolina secured a win against South Carolina in the Battle of the Carolinas. Florida State manhandled LSU, and Miami dominated Jimbo Fisher’s Texas A&M team.
