The SEC still wants to be judged by championships. The rest of the country has started judging it by January. Between 2006 and 2022 the league won 13 national titles in 17 seasons. The last three went to the Big Ten. In the first two 12-team College Football Playoff fields, SEC teams took only two of eight semifinal spots. That is the tension heading into 2026-27, the season GameSim labels as 2027: the league is still brutally deep, and it has not recently produced a true national heavyweight.
