Because of USC and UCLA joining? Slightly. It will be slightly better because of USC. There are like 10 Vanderbilts in the B1G. Seriously. 10 of them. Ohio State has 2 ranked teams on their schedule this season...and 10 that are not. That conference is still weak as Hell and in no way even comparable to the SEC. UCLA is about like Miss St. We added Texas and Oklahoma and they added 1 decent team and a scrub. The B1G is weak as Hell and always will be because none of the best players (from GA, FLA, Texas) are ever going up north to play for anyone not named OSU or Michigan. Even then, we are projected to be the 5th or 6th strongest team in the SEC this year...and we beat Michigan head to head for a handful of top players without losing a single kid to them. Kids know that the SEC is head and shoulders above any other conference and want to stay close to home where its warm etc. I dont see that changing. This latest round of expansion made the talent gap between the SEC and B1G MUCH bigger. It didnt narrow.
