OU and A&M lost to lower seeded teams. And Alabama got blown out so bad that even JMU was blushing. The SEC wants to lay claim to the mantle of "the most difficult conference" to garner all the at-large bids themselves. But the reality on the ground says otherwise. Texas Tech screwed over the Big XII and really the ACC and G5 if you want to get real, but let's not bury the lede. The SEC ain't all that, even if Ole Miss wins it all. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 1/3/2026, 1:52:37 AM
