I agree that it's best for the sport, but the SEC isn't going anywhere. I know recruiting rankings aren't the be-all end-all, but it's an indicator that we can use.

Of the Top 25 (according to 247 at the moment):

10 of the top 25 are from the SEC
ACC: 4
Pac 12: 4
Big 12: 3
Big 10: 3

The talent will be there for the SEC. It's time to get back to smashmouth football though.

I don't think anybody is saying the SEC will sink into obscurity. I think other conferences have leveled the playing field.

I honestly think that something clicked for Oregon after two losses in a row to Auburn and LSU - both times they got outplayed physically. Now they have a different kind of athlete on their lines and it shows.

Ohio State - well their coach already had the formula to success, didn't he? Ohio State looks very different from Tressel's teams. They are more athletic and more physical.

I think TCU and Baylor are still system teams, but they are also building the kind of program that Oregon is building. NFL talent is moving through those places now.
