quote:

Which brings us to today in the Midwest. For Ohio State and Michigan State, the road looks familiar. The high-profile Power 5 wins are out of the way (thank you Hokies and Ducks). Now the goal will be to survive mid-fall without a letdown, bulldozing the bad teams (Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers, Purdue, take your pick) and knocking out good-but-not-great, big-brand-name opponents (Michigan and Nebraska for MSU, Penn State and Minnesota for OSU) before the Nov. 21 showdown in Columbus, Ohio.


I like how the article slams Oklahoma because "We don't know if their win over Tennessee is good or not" but praises Michigan for beating the worst team in the Pac-12 and calls Penn State "good not great".

The SEC is down and certainly overrated, but that is just pure stupidity.

4 different teams won titles during that run though. The Big Ten (Twelve) won't do that.

MSU scored 31 on Oregon. Eastern Washington scored 42 on them the week before. Don't know about Oregon's coach, but he's no Kelly.

Michigan State and Ohio State are elite top 5 teams right now.

If the voters were being real with themselves, which they usually don't do besides trying to get the right team at #1, they would have Ohio State first and Michigan State second in the rankings since Michigan State has the best win on the season and likely all season long.

Wisky isn't what they use to be. Michigan is without a doubt on the rise. For anyone that watched them obliterated Oregon State, you will have known that Michigan held Oregon state to less than 10 yards of offense in the second half and dominated the game at the LOS.

Michigan is likely to win 8 games this year and next year they bring in Peters the QB recruit. IMO, Peters is the best high school QB in the nation by a half of a mile. Go and watch his game on ESPN3 from this past Friday night to see for yourself.

Top to bottom though the SEC is deeper. But at the top, the B1G is currently better.

The actual headline of the article:

"Flipping the Field: Ohio State-Michigan State has Big Ten looking like dominant SEC of BCS era"

You can't argue against the headline. Michigan State is the only team in the country the last two seasons that finished in the top 5 of the two major polls. They beat the Big 12 conference champ last year. They beat the Pac 12 champ in the Rose Bowl. They beat Oregon this past Saturday.

Ohio State is the defending national champ.

How many DIFFERENT SEC teams won titles in the BCS era? Big ten has one and only two teams that are remotely capable of winning one. Big 12 has a better argument.
