re: What must the other conferences do to compete with SEC football?

Wouldn't this mean that Mississippi should have the best football programs in the nation?

It would, if it had double the population. It absolutely would.

And 1/3 the FBS schools - or at least just one SEC school. We could compete at the highest level with what we have if you combined MSU and Ole Miss, instead of splitting the talent.

Urban can and will compete @ Ohio State... I think that's a given. Texas will eventually clean house, and they will compete. Dabo and Jimbo are recruiting enough talent to compete. So is Kiffin and Kelly. The problem is that they are all isolated with only 1-2 per conference, so they don't get the every day competition...

One thing I'm fairly certain of - the schools/conferences in realignment that are making moves out of desperation are going to end up hurting themselves more than they help. In chasing the SEC, they are losing their identities and the other unique things that has potential to make them special...thus setting themselves back longterm IMO
