BCS Rankings: No Conference Has Ever Dominated College Football Like Modern SEC

Week 12 of the college football season can only be described as utter chaos. 

Three of the top five teams in the country went down over the weekend as No. 2 Oklahoma State, No. 4 Oregon and No. 5 Oklahoma all lost in dramatic fashion.

No. 7 Clemson was also defeated, meaning four of the top seven teams in the country took losses and ruined their National Championship aspirations. 

This can mean only one thing. When the BCS rankings come out Sunday night, an all too familiar league will reign supreme.

The SEC is now guaranteed to claim the top three spots in the rankings.  

LSU will remain at No. 1 and Alabama will move up to No. 2 with the loss by Oklahoma State. Arkansas is likely to move up to No. 3 after the losses by Oregon and Oklahoma. 

The SEC has been dominant over the past half decade, winning the last five National Championships, but this year they may be stronger than ever.

Has there ever been a span in college football history where one conference has dominated the entire landscape like the SEC has in recent memory?

The answer is no.

After the top three teams in the nation, the SEC also boasts two-loss South Carolina who is currently ranked No. 12 and two-loss Georgia who is No. 14 in this weeks BCS rankings.

Both of these teams are certain to move up this week with all of the upsets in the Top 25.

While other seasons have been dominant, when it comes to the best SEC season ever, this year takes the cake. 

College football could have a playoff, but like the regular season, that would also probably be dominated by the SEC.

Now there is usually some argument to every side, but when it comes to this topic, there is not much debate.

The Big 10 has had some great seasons in the past, as has the Big 12, but they are no match for the year the SEC is having right now.

While the dominance of the SEC has always been there, it really took full effect about a decade ago and ever since it has continued to grow.

Every year, the SEC seemingly gets stronger and stronger.

It has gone from one team near the top to two teams in recent years and now this year they have three.

If they did not have to play each other, there is a chance all three would be undefeated which would spark some real debate.

But the fact is they do, and with only two weeks remaining in the college football season, the SEC is in prime position to have both participants in the BCS National Title Game. 

Now, the real question is: Which two of the three will play in New Orleans for all the marbles on January 9?
