I just want to comment about your above mentioned mediocracy of the "rest" of the big ten teams. Besides LSU, Florida, and Alabama, give me another SEC team that has dominated over the years. Also, remember this is only recent history. Take a look back at ALL of college footbal history and see if your stats make any sense.
I respect that the SEC has had a couple good years and all but, all I keep hearing is how the Big Ten can't handle the SEC speed.
One question, do you think Tim Tebow (the best the SEC has to offer) still thinks the Big Ten can't handle the "speed"? He is probably still picking grass out of his facemask.
