Nobody overdoes it like we do in the SEC, but everybody does it. I work in an office of Purdue and Indiana fans, and they are talking nonstop about the Big Ten and how the SEC is no good anymore. When I try to pinpoint them on who is good from the B1G, I get "Ohio State, and..."

...

...

yep. That's it.

The bottom feeders are always the ones to tout conference superiority

Fans of other conferences don't understand that what actually sets the SEC apart is not just what happens on the field. Having been a long time fan of the old SWC all I can tell people is you cannot explain the SEC. You can only experience it.

Tell your Indiana coworkers to sack up and resume the Kentucky series on the gridiron and hardwood.

Conference pride is one of the dumbest things in modern college football.

True, but before the Sugar Bowl this year they were showing the Cotton Bowl in the Superdome, and a good bit of Osu's band was cheering for Michigan State, so it happens.

I guess that's what a 18-78-3 lifetime record against another team will do to you.

Yeah. I'd imagine that pride isn't a very important thing to a Tennessee football fan these last 10 years.

If you truley worked with Indiana alumni, you would be blasted with Indinana beat Missouri all off-season long.

It isn't just about Ohio State having the best college football coach in the country. It is about Michigan becoming elite again with the hiring of one of the best football coaches at any level. PSU dominating their region of the country again in recruiting like they did for decades and when they won national titles and had undefeated seasons.

And Michigan State is the ONLY team in the country to FINISH INT HE TOP 5 AP POLL THE LAST TWO SEASONS.

So it isn't just about Ohio State.

0/10. You gave it a try though.

My thoughts are it is easier to hate someone when they have an easy to hate chant. S-E-C happens to be one

The Big Ten can't do B-I-G...

My care about conference strength is only so OSU can get into the playoff. If the B1G is so weak it is the Mountain West then the champion may not get the mileage needed to get in

If you weren't an inept troll, you'd know that Indiana fans have long forgotten last year's football season once basketball kicked into gear.

Michigan is elite again just like Tennessee is elite again. Maybe we should let them score a point or two before we claim they are "back".

So whatever SEC team you really support, you might do better to go ahead and admit that and stop with the inane trolling.
