The SEC is king.

Despite fewer games on major, rated networks, SEC football has surpassed the B1G as the No. 1 conference for minutes watched this season.

It has to be thought the strong play of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU and Kentucky has to do with this rise, though Tennessee’s sudden ascent to the upper echelon of teams is likely the majority variable.

There’s more where that came from, especially this week as Alabama faces off against LSU and next week when the Vols battle No. 1 Georgia.
