The SEC was once again the best conference in college football, taking four of the top ten spots in the final AP Poll and sending 11 teams to bowls. Alabama’s blowout loss in the title game forced a public reassessment of exactly how strong the league was in 2018, but five or six members should enter next season believing that they’re in the discussion for a playoff spot. The two worst teams in the conference, Ole Miss and Arkansas, should be slightly better in 2019. With fewer obvious bottom-dwellers to feast on, the SEC may not have as many teams threaten 10 wins as it did a year ago, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the class of the Power 5 anyway.
