Hey Jay I couldn't agree with you more. Ammo.......that was that was then, this is now. Things have changed in College football.
Money is the problem. SEC is undoubtedly at this time the best conference in the nation, although they have their stinkers too!
ESPN now has a dog in the hunt for the national championship which is anyone from the SEC. They are the SEC Network.
The BTN has their own and I believe Texas does also. What is pissing off the SEC is that it looks like, at this time they will NOT
Have an SEC team in the championship game. The howls from the SE corner of the US will be heard throughout the SE if Florida State
beats Duke and Ohio State beats Michigan State. Both teams have comparable schedules.
The decision who is best as always will be made on the field, not by a group of pundits, fans and Alumni.
What is now happening in the Big Ten is that Ohio State is forcing the other teams to better themselves. It is also of no benefit
to Ohio State, or any other big ten team to have big ten teams go to bowls and lose them. What is happening if the big ten teams don't do
a better job at recruiting or at least comparable to Ohio States recruiting it is going to become the conference of Ohio State and
the 11 dwarves. I hate to say this since I love the big ten but this is becoming true. Michigan and MSU are now NOT getting the football
players from Ohio as they once did. If you care to look a great percentage of players from Michigan and MSU are recruited from Ohio.
In general Urban Meyer is getting the best from Ohio, and more of them along with his ability to recruit from Florida, Texas and
California, and Pa. If the teams in the Big Ten don't recruit, the problem is the better teams will be held back simply because the others
lag by a great deal. This unfortunately MAY lead the better teams of the Big Ten to leave the league. I hope this is not the case.
