re: The state of college football has left the SEC in shambles.

While I don't like agreeing with a Buckeye, I agree with this one.

The SEC has lost good coaches, and in the arms race, most schools are using the extra money to pay buyouts.

Coaches also spend time chasing stars and catering to the prima donna athlete instead of getting the folks that work hard and are willing to work -- look at the highly ranked recruits from the state of Texas as an example. Their is a huge disconnect between their incoming potential and their final output (as collegiates).
