have been when it comes to ranking SEC and ACC baseball teams, in about every case with win/loss records. They are quick on the trigger to drop an ACC team down on the chart, and very slow at pulling the trigger to bring an ACC or another conference team up the chart especially if there's an SEC team with close to the same record. From preseason to week 8 poles shows their SEC love affair IMO...

This chart shows a some of it all.

Where would an ACC team with 11 losses be ranked - top 10, top 25, top 100? This FL B.S. with 11 loses is just mine bottling.
FSU has 4 losses and stomped FL 14 - 3 and is ranked #12 while FL with their 11 loses sits at #6.

Usually I am more hesitant than most about poll/media bias accusations, but the bias here is is
over-the-top-absurd. If you compare Clemson's overall body of work and wins over ranked teams, not just at this point, but also last week when Arkansas had not yet played LSU, there is no argument whatsoever that Clemson hasn't accomplished more. Sorry, but if they're still rating teams on partially subjective roster associations 27 games into the season, then they're full of crap.
I don't know if it's purposeful SEC bias or lazy-analysis-follow-the-common-narrative bias, but there is something weird going on there.

the weak SEC needs the bias to get favorable Regional and Super matchups.

Without help they would be hopeless. And America wants more SEC teams in any playoff or CWS. Everybody knows that. So, they have to be biased. It's their patriotic duty.
Remember, it's not who's the "most deserving" it's who's THE BEST. And everyone knows that's the SEC, regardless of how many games they lose. It just is.
