They can win CFP games by saturating the field with all of their 9-win or better schools so that a school like Bama can get a win over another SEC school but call it a “CFP” win. NIL for those schools who have money (Miami, UVa, SMU) is proving to be a thorn in the SEC’s side. If Stanford and Duke really wanted to, they could be really good in football. Non-football schools like Indiana, UVa, Illinois and Vandy are testaments to this. I would put UNC in this category but I’ve never seen a school infuse more cash into coaches and land 4 and 5 star players over the past 30+ years only to have one really good season in 1997. I have hope that UNC will continue to fail.
