Low level bowls with 4-5 loss teams and opt outs galore are not a good litmus of the strength or weakness of a respective conference.
Florida lost convincingly in a bowl game to OR ST, went 6-7 this year. Yet somehow beat the Pac 12 champion in season with a full roster. You think that could have had something to do with 2 dozen guys in the portal and their QB opting out of their bowl game?
Ole Miss lost 5 of their last 6 games.
Missouri was a 6-6 team.
Auburn went 5-7 and fired their coach mid season.
The Big Ten has not faired well against the SEC in championship games. Ohio State has been abysmal. Michigan and Michigan State got blasted in the first round in their only appearances. It’s not that UM or OSU can’t or won’t win this year, but they haven't shown a propensity for it.
SEC teams are 14-5 in playoffs
Big 10 teams are 1-5 in playoffs
The SEC has won 5 NC by 3 different teams in the playoff era, 9 by 5 different teams in the BCS era
Big 10 has won 1 NC in playoff and 1 in BCS era by 1 team.
Also Aggregate recruiting rankings and NFL representation do paint a pretty clear picture that the SEC is the most talent rich conference by a wide margin and has been for a while.
Wins over NC State without their QB, 7-5 Oklahoma State, And a nose diving Syracuse team don’t offset this reality.

We are top 15-20 since November
That's because hooker was too chickenshit to throw the ball into tight windows, Jeff Sims actually tried (as opposed to Spencer Rattler), and LSU was focused on going deep.
When teams give us a chance, our QB hurries hit home.

Ohio State has three wins, so not sure where you pulled that from.

This game won’t be close. Georgia will stomp their asses back to that shithole where they are from.

Georgia's depth will kill them late. OSU doesn't have the horses in the trenches to go 4 full quarters with the Dawgs.

Home games. Missouri wasn’t. And you barely escaped. If Ohio State keeps this game close then Michigan won’t. They beat down OSU at OSU. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Regardless the whole SEC thing is funny to most of us up here — this obvious retarded troll above notwithstanding — I don’t really feel any affinity towards the other schools in the Big Ten, couldnt really give a shite if they win or lose. In fact, a lot of us hate the other teams in our conference and want them to lose
It’s always seemed to me that you guys get around by rooting for Bama (or Georgia now) and claiming that since Bama was so good (true) that thus the SEC is just so much better, but that really never seemed true to me, idk. I don’t think, take this year, that LSU or Tennessee is really towering above, say, Penn State. I also don’t think whatever mid teams you have like Ole Miss or Auburn whoever are really better than Illinois or Purdue or Maryland etc.
That’s just an outsider perspective though, I wouldn’t expect you guys to agree. I still think overall the SEC is probably better but not by as much as you guys like to play up — and again I still think Georgia is the best team in the country etc
C'mon man, I know you think you're doing some sort of alternative, "objective" take here but you're being willfully ignorant if you're ignoring the SEC's outright domination of cfb over the last 2 decades. It doesn't matter what metric you go by, playoff performances, NFL representation, nation titles, regular season interconference records, recruiting rankings, whatever, the SEC has dominated. I personally don't care too much about the SEC!!! chanting as I'm a Georgia fan first and foremost, but Tennessee, for example, would have kicked the shite out of Penn St. this season when they were both at full strength. You're doing the exact same thing with the Big 10 that you're accusing us of. Ohio St. and Michigan recently are the only teams from that conference that have held their own when it comes to getting to the big boy stage, and even then, they still have come up short when they play an SEC team in the biggest games, as much as the goofball alters on here try to pretend otherwise.

Ohio State lost to their rival Michigan at home for the first time in 22 years! That was bound to happen sooner or later. 5 missed tackles = 5 TD big plays by Michigan. Can Ohio State beat Georgia ? Yes, but they have to play mostly mistake free football. Day has to Not be Stubborn and play call the same plays that don't work and being willing to adjust! I think it will be a close game. I also think that Georgia has the tougher opponent to beat than Michigan. If Georgia wins than I see another Natty for Georgia . Michigan vs TCU game will be interesting to watch because Everyone is just assuming that Michigan will win! I can see TCU winning ! Both games will be fun to watch.

>Talking about CFP wins
You’re not unreasonable but I’d say again that when talking about CFP wins you’re talking mostly about Alabama then Georgia and one year with LSU
I give you, in general, the SEC is probably better overall but I think it’s overstated. My point is that the rest of the teams in the SEC seem to ride the coattails of Alabama or whoever is good that year. I don’t ride Ohio State, I hope they’re never good, I never root for them to win — and if they do win I don’t take that to mean the Big Ten is any worse or better overall, just that Ohio State is.
I guess my main point is lots of people talk shite about teams like Iowa or Indians or whoever, and I think a lot of mid SEC teams that, in my mind are basically the same as those programs, get inflated AP rankings/reputations which leads to people saying the SEC is so much better than the Big Ten — I really don’t buy it.
I’m not saying Alabama in recent past, Georgia now, or LSU with Burrow weren’t the best teams in the country, clearly you guys usually have *the* best team most years — it just annoys me that because one of the teams is the best at any given time, people attribute that to the conference as a whole — you’ll have teams like A&M or Ole Miss way up in the rankings because they played some good teams close, and then they lose to some other team and that team goes up in the rankings etc — it’s all circular
