re: Offseason thread: what non-SEC football program most resembles each SEC program?

Look I like State but comparing their engineering program to Purdue is just sadly delusional and I think Indiana is a Top 20 state in population that has at least 3 major schools (Notre Dame + Purdue + Indiana) and now I must go shower for having to defend the state of Indiana.

Spot on, especially the shower part.

The football comparison works well. But Purdue people would choke if they ever heard someone compare them to MSU as an academic institution. I think it's fair to say that MSU is an agricultural school with a strong engineering program, and Purdue is an engineering school with a strong agricultural program.
