Debate continues over SEC dominance in college football as LSU faces pressure on coach Brian Kelly

theathletic.com January 29, 2025, 11:01 AM UTC

Recent discussions suggest that claims of the SEC's decline in college football dominance may be exaggerated. The SEC previously won four consecutive national titles and still has a strong talent pool, despite the Big Ten winning the last two championships. LSU's Brian Kelly faces pressure to improve after a modest season. With a strong transfer class and returning players, expectations are high for 2025. A fourth loss could jeopardize his position as head coach. In the Big 12, TCU is seen as a potential contender for consistent College Football Playoff appearances. However, the conference's competitive nature makes it challenging for any team to secure multiple bids in a decade.
