You're not exactly comparing apples to apples when it comes to SEC teams versus other conferences in bowl games. Because SEC teams travel (and because the conference is so good), you'll find 7-9 SEC teams going to bowls.
That ends up in mismatches, with SEC teams playing up in rankings against other conferences.
For example, the Chick-Fil-A Bowl is ACC #2 versus SEC #5.

Just a tip
..sarcasm must make a cogent point, and have some whiff of humor, to be effective. Might I humbly submit you are now oh for two?

Dude, you need to look at the “internals” of those numbers
..especially against the Big East and the ACC.

First, the BCS is a playoff—a two team playoff.
The BCS seeding system is arguably objective. Roughly 160 voters in two polls means a few subjective opinions are diluted. The six computer poll results are averaged with the high and low ratings for each team thrown out, again reducing subjective influence. No doubt it could be improved further.
The “Plus One” or 4-team semifinal has been discussed since 2004.
The only issue I have with the College Football Playoff is the use of a committee to pick the teams. I would rather use something like the BCS poll system.

I think the reason college fb is so popular is all the arguing over who is best. A bracket would take that away.

.....Until early afternoon of the start of “March Madness”, when the college b-ball teams take to the floor. :)
