SEC Football: Takeaways for Each Team from Week 13

For any remaining doubters, week 13 was further proof  that SEC football is an undoubtedly mediocre conference in 2016.

SEC football has Alabama. The Crimson Tide will likely make the College Football Playoff regardless of their SEC Championship performance. Every other team, however, is slightly above average at best. That isn’t meant to be a compliment, as slightly above average is nowhere near good.

Many SEC football fans will bank on bowl season to redeem the conference. No bowl record, however, can save SEC football from mediocrity. Mississippi State, Missouri and Vanderbilt all trumped teams that were thought to be Top 25 to begin the season. Now, no one knows who the second best team is in SEC football.

As we look at the SEC football rankings, we have to wonder how many teams will make the final top 25. Outside of Alabama and LSU, no team is guaranteed to remained ranked after bowl season.

Welcome to SEC football: 2016 edition.

SEC football is mediocre. The conference may win a national championship, but the conference is still going to look at 2016 as a disappointing year.
