As an Ohio State fan, you’re killing me John!! The truth hurts. I agree that the SEC is clearly dominant right now. I think the B1G had a ‘big brother’ attitude and thought their brand of football was king. The past 4 years or so has taught the B1G a BIG lesson. Ohio State realized that they had to change (didn’t really have choice) so they hired Urban Meyer. Whether you like him or hate him, he knows what it takes to compete against the SEC. I think the main difference was the money. Ohio State opened up the coffeurs and are finally paying the assistant coaches. If Michigan follows suit with their $6 billion in endowments then things will change for the B1G. I happen to be a college football fan that likes it when Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Okahoma, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, etc are all really good. It makes for a great season. The SEC has done their part and I hope we (B1G) start doing our part.

Would be curious to see how each team was ranked in their own conference at the time of the matchups. Obviously the BCS Title games were SEC #1 vs. Big Ten #1, but what about the other bowls? Might be tough because of division splits, but you might say that UGA was the #3 or #4 team in the SEC whereas Mich. St. was #2 or #3 in the BIG. That would give me a better understanding of which conference is superior, I think.

Now we just need to get the 2 team BCS cap from each conference lifted. With two more teams in the SEC, it needs to change. Even though Michigan won the Sugar Bowl last night against an undesrving Virginia Tech team, Michigan had no business being in a BCS game in the first place. The same applies to West Virginia. In fact, I would argue that the Cotton Bowl with two top 10 teams playing each other is a much better game than the Orange and Sugar Bowls and equally as good as the Rose Bowl.
