After dominant AP Poll, SEC bias claims at all-time high

It’s official: the SEC West owns college football in this week’s AP Top 25 with four teams in the top five, including the No. 1 overall team in Mississippi State. It was a complete takeover, and the SEC haters screaming SEC bias are out in full force on Twitter.

Check out some of these SEC bias comments:

Lol at AP poll. That’s a big fat EL OH EL. So much blind bias

@JimAtTheRez How about 23 consecutive wins? Until the CHAMPION loses, they ARE the best. In almost every sport. #SECbias #FSUTwitter

Don’t think there’s a SEC bias? LSU is ranked again and Duke isn’t. — Kyle Griffis (@JKGriff) October 19, 2014 

23 straight wins and beat a top 5 team. But still not #1. Okay @espn #SECbias — Rach (@RachelSeiden) October 19, 2014

This SEC bias is unreal

Making sure that even WHEN Albama/Auburn and Miss St/Ole Miss beat each other, they won’t fall far: SEC bias.

When non-SEC fans talk about SEC bias, this horse shit Top 5 is a prime example. — Matt Brown (@mattnbrown1) October 19, 2014

Everyone screams there is an SEC bias in the poll, so ok let me hear everyone’s top 5. This should be good — Booger (@SECbooger) October 19, 2014

“@SportsCenter: Strange But True: SEC West has 4 of top 5 teams in latest AP Poll. The ACC & Big Ten have 5 teams in Top 25 Combined.” Bias?

@SportsCenter that’s what happens when the SEC controls over half of the television market; bias is put into the rankings.

Texas A&M got one vote for the AP poll this week. Auburn into the top 5 after a BYE, despite big wins by Oregon and MSU. No SEC bias? Okay.

@ESPNCFB The SEC will have 3 teams in the playoffs as the media wants it pure contract terms#eSECpn#bias — eugenebrown (@Nolenation31) October 19, 2014

Oh media and your SEC bias. Only 4 of top 5 teams are from the SEC. — weslittle (@weslittle) October 19, 2014
