SEC who?

Kinda funny how when they increased it to 12 teams and stopped guaranteeing the SEC two slots in the semis and just guaranteed them one, how suddenly they stopped winning natties.

Right? I mean, they still tried to flood the CFP with almost half the invitees being SEC teams. But requiring them to actually win games to get to the championship has proved to be an impossible task for them. That is, unless they are playing themselves...or a G5 team.
 
Similarly, KU/UK/UNC basketball.

What could possibly explain this?
Duke is interesting here.

I'm 1,000,000% sure they were cheating in the pre-"NL+TP" era just as much as those other three programs. Otherwise I'm supposed to believe that in the era when ~ all the top programs were cheating, the guy who won the most (Krzyzewski) was the one playing by the rules? Right.

However, they are the only "Blue Blood" who has maintained their dominance in this era. What are they doing differently from KU/UK/UNC?

Well, Duke is a medical school. Maybe they a re cheating in different ways. Just Kidding.
Kind of.

You still gotta have a great coach to put it all together. Sheyer seems to be good at Duke. Self seems to have lost his fire since the heart issues and NIL happened. Cal is past his prime and Hubert, well, is Hubert.

I could pick the 8 best guys from CBB for my team, and if I was coaching they still would kinda suck because I don't know how tf to coach a college bb team. It would look a lot like Kentucky the past few years lol.
