The SEC will go two consecutive seasons without a national championship for the first time since 2013/14. They’ll also have neither of the finalists in a two-year span for the first time since 2004/05.

With Ohio State and Notre Dame meeting on 1/20, just one year after Michigan beat Washington, we’ll have no SEC teams winning a title in B2B years for the first time in a decade, when FSU capped off the BCS era and Ohio State kicked off the Playoff era. And it’ll be the first time in two decades with no SEC finalists since USC split with both sides of the Red River Rivalry in the mid-2000’s. We are so back, and the Rust Belt shall rise again!
