SEC football postseason failure brought about by its own greed

Miami has emerged as a dominant force in college football, resembling the style and strength traditionally associated with SEC teams. This shift comes as the SEC endured a challenging postseason, losing a conference-record eight games. Miami's success is highlighted by its formidable defense, including standout players like defensive end Akheem Mesidor, who emphasizes their physical style of play.
