So for playoff appearances, the B1G has kicked our arse.


this is easily explainable. The Big top to bottom sucks chode, and relies on a few very top heavy big hitters while the middle -down of the league is putrid. Compared to the SEC where you also have big hitters at the top but a MUCH stronger middle/bottom. As a result the SEC middle tier beats up on each other and eliminates each other from playoff contention, while teams that may only be "pretty good" in the big 10 skate by by playing horrendous competition.

Look at this year as a prime example. If Vandy or Texas played a big 10 schedule they're both likely in the playoffs

Passed in June of 2021 but would not have had an effect until the 2022 recruiting/transfer cycle.

Your assessment should be based on accomplishments over the last four seasons.

Meh.

I like to see UGA at the top of any positive list. But I don’t put too much stock into that list yet.

It seems some programs like to spend more $ on retaining proven players on their roster. Others spend more in the portal. And I’m sure there are wealthy programs that have plenty of $ to do both.

Please pardon my ignorance if I’m wrong. I don’t care enough to follow all the NIL rules, although I keep hearing it’s like the wild west.

But my gut tells me we probably need a few more seasons before we try to make any definitive conclusions.

As always, I could be wrong.

I'm honestly surprised that LSU is doing that well. Solid 8-4 average which is not bad if you think about it.
