A horrific Tennessee team has destroyed a top 5 or 6 b10 team 3 years in a row. Ya their top 4 are elite and way better than out top 4, but the next 8 I think aren't as good as the the next 8 in the SEC.

I think having OSU, PSU, MSU, Michigan, and Wisconsin are enough to put the Big Ten ahead of the SEC. The SEC has Bama and who else? Georgia and Auburn are quality teams but outside of those three this conference doesn't really have another good team. Maybe LSU. Purdue also made Missouri grab their ankles for 4 quarters. They're the better conference because they have far superior coaches IMO.

I posted this a few weeks ago but inthink it bears repeating....

I was told that certain people over there at UT had come to the conclusion that there was no way that they could compete with Bama and thus they weren't going to try. They were just biding their time until Saban moved on. At the time I laughed it off but I have often thought if that might actually be the case.

The SEC was better two and three years ago. It is not now.

If you drop 3 in this league it means you likely beat no one.

That’s because Bama is the only someone in some people’s eyes. The league last year was a bunch of 8-4 which translates to 10-2, 9-3 in b10.

I’m not sure what to make of the league this year yet. It’s obvious this league has taken a step back but b10 isn’t the same level overall even if their top teams appear to be better. Easier to look good and keep things rolling when you are playing a scrimmage every week except two weeks a year.

They're clearly better in the top 5. The league as a whole though takes a really huge drop, where most sec 6-11 teams are capable of beating top teams on a good day. 6-11 in the B10 aren't capable of beating top teams even on a good day.

I really can't take you seriously ATP.

ROFL, you must have missed the word "comparable." Purdue is not the worst team in the B10, Mizzou is the worst team in the SEC.

ROFL, they're only 6th place in the worse division.

But they're not the worst so drumming them by 32 on the road shows nothing.

I'm not saying Jimbo is not a good coach. I just think he's seen his better days. Also, I don't think he'd have the same level of success here as he's had there. He gets "buy" with a lot more down there than he could here.

Agree with this and why a later post I stated I did not like the way he ran his program.

I talked to some good friends this morning who are Bama fans and they are very worried about this. They don’t think they have played a good team yet and are concerned about what may happen when they do. They don’t think the SEC slate preps them like it used to.


I yawned and excused myself from the conversation

I think with what they have seen on the field that has changed. No way they will be able to do the things they want to do if they put a crap show like this on the field. They are seeing it will not be supported even by the guys with the deepest pockets.

Saban could be around another 6 or 7 years though. That program is built to last for the foreseeable future even after he retires. Swinney will likely be their next coach as well. He won't keep it at the Saban level, but they'll still be a juggernaut with him IMO. Hoping that's not the mindset of some of our higher ups. Loser mentality IMO.
