In all honestly who cares? The title is the title. Tennessee won the title in 98 playing Mississippi State in Atlanta. MISSISSIPPI ST...they lost 5 games that season. They have never sniffed Atlanta before or since. They beat an injured Noles team for the title. Did you care? Do you say man we won the title but didn't really play tough enough teams?

Nope you still have your National Championship swag you display proudly.

We also beat 4 top 20 teams along the way to ATL. We'll see how many OSU beats this year.

No doubt. If Ohio State wins the playoff back to back years I will say damn....but Tennessee beat 4 top 20 teams in 1998 to win the title...the last year they were nationally relevant.

That was so much sweeter!

8 or 9?!!?!? That's what I am talking about. You crack me up. Are the Vols one of them?

Mizzou goes on the East and wins 2 out of 3 years. 9 teams would go 11-1 from the SEC in the B1G. That's fantastic. Like spit my beer out good.

Every team from the West, UT, and UGA could realistically go 11-1 with OSUs schedule this season. Besides MSU, who on that schedule is a top 30-35 team? Minnesota? It's still at home. Penn State is bad, Va Tech is highly average in an average conference. IU, MU, UM, Illini, Rutgers, and the OOC are laughably bad.

Btw I'm not saying OSU isn't the best team in the country. They probably are, it's just disappointing that they play one quality opponent all season.

yeah I figured you were including The Vols. I cant even. They are a 7 win max team for forever but would go 11-1 in the B1G. There are alot of Mizzou's in our league. How has that worked out for you?

I have said over and over the league isnt great. That being said SEC schools arent just walking in going11-1. Especially ones that arent relevant since Y2K.

Bama probably would. No one else. Sorry.

You're right. Illinois would throttle the SEC.

I'll give you Minnesota and mayyyyybe Nebraska (they haven't won more than 9 in forever either)

Michigan.. No

Iowa.. lol

My point is only a historical mid tier B12 team won the East 2 times in a row. If someone said to you 3 years ago that would happen you would have said impossible. So Mizzou could do it but Iowa...NO WAY.

As you are aware the worst team in the B1G East won on the road in Columbia as well.

If you said Ole Miss to TCU you might have a valid pt

TCU doesnt play in the B1G. So not really. Posters have implied Auburn would go 11-1. I am just using the same logic.

Tennessee was lucky they didnt have to tangle with Indiana.
