I could see some of you all think Bama could win. But some of you all, with your SEC arrogance, still want to act like only the SEC plays physical football. Seeing posts like "Bama will physically dominate Indiana" were just downright comical if you had seen Indiana even play once this year.

It's pretty obvious that most of you only watch SEC games during the regular season and don't bother watching any Big 10 games, never mind not watching any ACC or. Big 12 games.

Some of you all probably wouldn't be so shocked if you bothered to watch college football outside of the SEC. The SEC no longer even remotely owns college football like many of you want to believe.

And thank you Indiana. Hold on and you'll be winning me $600 tonight! Easy money.

I never doubted Indiana. Just figured Bama would do what they always do.

You mean what they did under Saban. I don't see Saban walking that sideline, we need to stop acting like he still is. Bama hasn't "done what they always do" in the last two years. It's not Saban's Bama anymore.

True ball knowers know that Indiana is a great team.

I think a lot of people are just scarred and have Bama PTSD.

The SEC will still dominant with draft picks.

The issue is mentality, not talent.


The players don’t care about winning championships and playing as a team anymore.

It’s a business, and they’re free agents. All they care about is the money and their draft status.

Paying 18 year olds millions is what has done this to the SEC

Some SEC fans need to be told it over and over. The SEC doesn't play some superior brand of football that is a different game than what other conferences are doing. Look at this year's bowl season. But if UGA should win, I'm sure all the SEC fans will say that shows the SEC is best.

Yeah, not arguing with you on that. But we just watched them come back from 17 down in Oklahoma. It wasn't an unreasonable expectation.

Doesn't seem to be an issue with Indiana and Miami. Those players are playing as a team. Maybe the SEC needs to re-evaluate who they recruit then?

I really don’t think that’s the point anyone is making. The argument is talent disparity. Not “brand”. The SEC will most likely dominate the draft again.

Thank you for making my point.

The SEC has a culture problem.

Do you know how many dudes will go from Big 10 in the trenches?

Pregnon, Ione, Jones et all are all being mocked in the early rounds

And Kentucky basketball dominated the draft for most of the 2010's under John Calipari. How many. National Titles did Kentucky win in basketball during that period?

And I disagree. There are a bunch of SEC fans on here who genuinely believe that they play some superior brand of football and that no other school should even bother to compete against the "superior" SEC.

I would also argue the talent disparity isn't what it was either.

I never said the Big 10 doesn’t have talent.

Historically, the SEC leads in draft picks. Now maybe it could change in the future.

There are a ton of SEC fans who think the SEC should be treated as its own special brand of football with different rules about how to treat losses to each other because the SEC is so superior. The last three seasons have made this a ridiculous viewpoint.

NIL has just spread out the talent more. SEC is still the best overall conference, its just not dominant like it once was.

The most repeated line I hear from the Bama fans I speak to almost daily is
“Indiana doesn’t play anybody.”

While I agree with some of your points...

I have money on Indiana to win the Championship...I also have money on Georgia to win the Championship. If things continue going the way they are... I'll buy you all a beer....

I bet on Indiana but honestly thought they might be posers...I was wrong.
