The more things change in college football, the more they really don't in the SEC.
Sure, we have a playoff now, talk of conference realignment seemingly every week, free agency via the transfer portal, even high school recruits raking in serious cash under the guise of the name, image and likeness rules.
But through it all, the SEC continues to dominate the sport and has produced 12 of the past 16 national champions. Five different SEC schools have won titles during that span, and only once in the past 16 seasons has an SEC school not appeared in the national championship game.
