I agree that the last few years the Big-10 has had the SEC's number in bowl games for the most part, but seeing you are an Ohio State fan you will be bitter for a while with good reason I suppose. (0-9)

LOL @ Jadaki being an OSU fan.

The Big Ten generally does well head to head against the SEC in bowl games you know..other than the title game.. I researched it all last year around this time and it's somewhere in this thread. The Big Ten's record was favorable over SEC, as I recall.

And I just really like this picture so I'm going to post it again.

Jadaki's a OSU fan?

I'm sure he's not going to be happy with that insult!!!!!

My apologies to jadaki for the insult!

Off to slit my wrists...

Thats what I get for ASSuming, just thought since you defended the pic you were fan. I'll do better research next time

I'll make it easy for you to figure out.

Michigan beat my Gators last year so I can't say anything. There is alot I want to and could say but you have bragging rights head to head.

Florida is a lot better this year than Michigan is, so at least you have that. We won't even sniff the top 25 this year.

Or the top half of the Big Ten.

At least now I know how an Iowa fan feels... every year.

You do realize since 2002, we've had the same number of Big Ten Titles, right?

You mean since OSU has been dominating, good point.

I still have 97 to hold onto.

At least you're not living in the past.

IF the BCS comes into existence one year earlier, you dont even have 97. Nebraksa dominates Michigan that year.

Currently we're getting our ass kicked, if you want to go back to 2002 why not go to 97?



I disagree, but there is no "IF" anyway. Ask Auburn about "IF" and the BCS...

well, nebraska did get half the title that year. so either way.

I prefer to stay in the 21st century.

I'll remember this next time we get into a conversation about your NFL team.

You probably don't want to compare stats between the Packers and Cowboys since 2000 either, champ.

Cowboys Playoffs Appearances: 2003, 2006, 2007
Cowboys Division Titles: 2007
Conference Titles: None

Packers Playoffs Appearances: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007
Packers Division Titles: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007
Conference Titles: None

Remember the discussion on Superbowl wins, and how you like to bring up NFL championships?

Two completely seperate things..though, realistically, we dominate you in the 20th and 21st centuries. Sorry.

Cowboys > Packers in the Superbowl Era.

Thanks for helping me sidetrack the SEC thread!

/hi five

/butt patt

lol at using bowl games to compare the leagues, including the sec and everyone else for that matter owning OSU



From top to bottom the SEC just has way more talent and better teams.....I'm right, if you diagree, you're wrong.



The Big 12 is definitely close behind though.



5 teams in the top 10, thats all

looooooooool.....

*first of all Arkansas was like the 7th place team or something last year in the SEC and were put up against Missouri who was like 2nd in teh big12 i think.......good match up, and cute to put that on your list

*tennessee beat wisconsin in the outback bowl last year, dont forget that one


*big 10 should suspend Ohio State for embarassment......it's too bad the (currently) highest profile football team in your conference constantly wets the bed against major out-of-conference opponents.

Yea but Florida was what... considered the second best team in the SEC at the end of last year, and anyone who watched that game knows it was not nearly as close as the score indicates when they got dominated by Michigan, a team that remember... lost to App St.

TN... the team that just lost to UCLA, who just got smoked 59-0 by BYU.... makes you wonder how good TN is. Think anyone in the SEC can lay a 59-0 beatdown on TN?

College football is a lot more balanced than people like to think, that 10 scholarship reduction seems to have affected everyone but USC when it comes to depth and the dominate teams just aren't as dominate as people would like to think.

5 teams int the top ten... because they haven't played anyone OOC yet. TN did, look what happened losing to a mediocre UCLA team with a 3rd string QB who put up 4 ints in the first half. Auburn put up 3 points this week. If you can't put up more than 3 points in a game you do not deserve to be in the top ten.

SEC teams are notorious for playing cupcake out of conference schedules. Say what you will about Ohio State, but they play legit teams every year. Texas home and away, USC home and away. I don't see Florida, Auburn, or LSU lining up to play a top 5 team on the road to start the season. The only real program is USC, because Pete Carroll will play anybody, anytime, anywhere. He takes any game he can get, and I have a ton of respect for him for that.

The Capital One bowl is one of the best indicators of relative conference strength (1st choice from Big 10 and Big 12 after BCS), and the Big 10 is 7-3 in the last decade. It's not a be-all, end-all, but it goes to show the SEC's not a slam-dunk more talented football conference.

This year should be interesting. I'm thinking something like Wisky/UGA, or maybe Penn State/LSU. I'd really, really, really love it if it were Sparty/Auburn, because Sparty would win like 31-20.

To Florida's defense when they scheduled Miami like 5 years ago Miami wasn't in the shape they are now, thats why I think scheduling should take place closer to present time since it affects peoples judgement in the BCS. (We need a college playoff BTW!)

lol take a look at UGA's schedule or any other SEC team and tell me why we need to beef up our out-of-conference???? Ohio State needs to schedule these games because they have a pretty weak conf schedule. They've cakewalked thru the Big 10 the past few years only to get pounded by a legit opponent when it comes time to really make a statement. pretty embarassing actually.....

I'd really like to see Penn State or someone different run the table in the Big 10.......Ohio State are nothing but bed-wetters when it comes to playing when it counts

0-2 the last two years in National Championship games! THEIR CHOKESR LOCK IT UP!!

You're an idiot. Taking this much blind pride in your favorite football conference is so stupid. I can't believe I'm involved in this conversation.

BIG TEN 4EVER/4LIFE

I think the Big 12 is better top to bottom this year.

About the same IMO, the Big 12 may be better at the bottom, but not at the top. Although I like Oklahoma over any SEC team at the moment.

lol weeeeeeeee
blind pride, good one

I agree with this

Listen, I'm not football wizard. I'm not sure if the SEC is the best conference in the nation. My gut tells me it is, but my gut has been notoriously poor. I do know one thing... the Big ten looks god awful so far this year. Just terrible.

truth

Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State are all probably very good. Michigan State is probably solid. Purdue and Iowa suck, I think.

I'm not sure why you think OSU looks very good, when they get crushed by USC, and struggle against teams they should crush.

USC is way ahead of everyone, bad measuring stick. You don't see any SEC teams maning up and taking a trip to the Rose Bowl to play them do you?

Yeah, how is the strugling with ohio and troy for the first 3 quarters of those games is more the measuring stick i'm talking about. I think LSU and florida look significantly better than ohio state thus far.

I agree.

I did think Florida looked a little flat this week though, but TN is just bad so it didn't hurt them. I'm not really sold on Florida having a running game when it matters either.

LSU/Auburn was the best game I've seen this year, lots of fun to watch. I'm looking forward to the GA/Alabama game this week just because I'll be watching it with a GA fan so it will be fun to pull for Alabama to piss him off.

Yeah, I don't know that I could ever get my self to root for "bama, under any circumstances.

I take Wang's approach to betting, and use it to annoy my coworkers.

I dont buy this.......they definitely look impressive but UGA, Oky, Fla, or PennSt would give them a good game........lets not jump on USC's nuts quite yet.....a mediocre OSU team is all they have played, and that was without OSU's "superstar" RB

I dont see anyone in the PAC10 giving them a challenge though. Although we musn't forget that stanford game.....lol

lol well, betting is a different then rootin', innit? I'd bet on 'bama with a Georgia fan ,but I won't like it

I have a wait and see approach on Oklahoma and PSU, all they have done so far is beat up scrubs. When PSU goes and plays Wisconsin at home then we will know where they stand. Oklahoma is going to have to beat MI to convince me they are as good as they look so far. I don't believe in Florida's running game, I think LSU can beat them if they get stable play from the QB. GA's injuries have me wondering about them, but we get to find out more about them and Alabama this weekend.

Sidenote: I actually want GA to win because I hate Alabama.

All USC has done is beat up on scrubs as well, Right?

Roll Tide to you sirs. Roll. Damn. Tide.

If you really think OSU is a bunch of scrubs then you need to stand on a field and get tackled by James Laurinaitis, they might have 2-3 current starters who won't get drafted into the NFL. The rest will be playing on sundays, hardly a bunch of scrubs.
