"Jalen Midroe can't say sh*t": CFB fans in splits as Alabama QB defends SEC supremacy during Super Bowl week

Alabama Crimson Tide QB Jalen Milroe showcased his loyalty to the SEC conference during Super Bowl week. After four seasons with the Crimson Tide, he is now preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL draft.

Amidst his preparations for his professional career, Milroe appeared on USA Today Sports for an interview on Thursday. During the interaction, the host stated that the last two CFP national championships went to the Big 10 despite Milroe believing that the SEC is the toughest conference to play in.

Milroe defended the competitiveness of the SEC and the toughness of their schedule compared to the other conferences. He made his point by talking about ranked wins for other conferences while also stating that in the SEC, each team needs to play at their full potential every week.

"How many ranked wins do they (Big 10) have?" Milroe questioned. "What was the strength of their schedule?.... But if you go to the SEC, you'll see that each and every week that's competitive ..... I'm just letting you know ... The difference between other conferences and the SEC is the competitiveness each and every week that you have to play."

College football fans online reacted to Milroe's comments about the SEC being the most competitive conference.

"Jalen Midroe can't say s**t", one fan said.

"Sorry but the B1G runs college football," another fan commented.

"But yeah the team in the Big Ten beat the best SEC team," a fan argued.

"Yea OK. Big Ten went 6-4 vs the SEC teams this season lol," another fan said.

"Jalen Milore has to much Bama in him!" a fan commented.

"You got Jalen!!" a fan said.

In the first year of the 12-team playoffs, only three SEC teams qualified while the Crimson Tide were eliminated from contention following a 9-4 campaign. The Tennessee Volunteers lost in the first round to Ohio State whereas SEC champs Georgia received a first-round bye.

Georgia was eliminated in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal by Notre Dame. The Texas Longhorns joined the SEC during the 2024 season and made it to the semifinals but their hunt for a natty was cut short by Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl Classic who eventually ended up being crowned as the natty champs.
