You are not an AAU member so you don't have the academic standing to join the B1G Ten.



I guarantee that 80% of the LSU fans on this board will think "AAU" is a reference to travel basketball teams.

That shite doesn’t matter in industry.

Any SEC grad can compete with a Big Ten grad. It is a bunch of bull shite propaganda fed to people by people in academics to help them scam people in to paying even more ridiculous money for college education.


There are smart people at every school. Even LSU. But don't act like a degree from LSU is the same as a degree from Michigan or UCLA. Sorry.
quote:

To be fair no one in industry cares about Big Ten academics vs SEC academics. That is bunch of fart sniffing among academics.


The Big Ten very much cares. There is a reason that every Big Ten school was a member of the AAU at the time of entry (Nebraska subsequently kicked out of the AAU).

The Big Ten also doubles as a research consortium. Many LSU graduates will need to look up what "consortium" means.
Being Lousiana's flagship is about as relevant as being the best shortstop in Norway. You are not Big Ten level in academics. Not even close. Michigan State is Harvard compared to LSU.
LSU won't join the Big Ten. They don't have the academics. The Big Ten is a very different academic profile from the SEC. They care about academics.

I think this year we really, as a conference, need to shut up the country. We've laid some post season eggs recently.


The expanded playoff format was tough on the SEC. Now you have to earn it on the field.

Funny but I don't remember SEC fans being all upset about pre-season rankings when it stacked a bunch of SEC teams at the top creating the cycle where SEC conference losses were "good losses" and propping up both teams' rankings next week.
WHat's the big deal? Didn't teams used to issue rings for major bowls? They did play in the Fiesta Bowl that year.

I'm an OU fan first and by virtue of having to play a killer SEC schedule for the third year in a row, I readily admit that the SEC is, from top to bottom, the toughest conference in the country.


The SEC is the toughest from top to bottom? I think you'd better check the head to head results against the Big Ten in the last two years. As Curt Cignetti said, the Big Ten is not the result of a hype machine.
quote:

Sure if you take away playing on the road against a top 5 non conference opponent, their non conference schedules are exactly the same. Great point.


There are only 3 non-conference games. They have one solid game and you have one exceptional game. Now that means their schedule is completely weak? If you're better than them, beat them in the middle of the season.
Well I guess you can punish Indiana by stomping them in week 4? I mean, on the field results are all that matter. What are you going to say if they beat you?
quote:

This isn't the opinion of "people on this board" it's SOS rankings. What are you, some kind of Big Ten fluffer? Look at Indiana's present and future out of conference schedule. You want to defend that?


I'll take a page out of the SEC playbook. For years, many of the top SEC teams played weak out of conference schedules including those complete cupcakes just before rivalry week. The retort? "Our conference schedule is so strong that it doesn't matter." Now that the Big Ten is clearly stronger than the SEC and has been for a while, why isn't that a fine retort now for Indiana?
quote:

There's no defending Indiana's schedule. I dont know how any fan of the sport would want national championship level teams playing such a garbage out of conference schedule.


Ohio State has Texas but it also has Ball State and Kent State. Indiana has North Texas which has been a solid program. Is Ohio State's out of conference schedule tougher? Sure on the basis of Texas > North Texas but don't act like Ball State and Kent State aren't soft touches.

I'll guess we'll see soon as who is better between Ohio State and Indiana since it is your fourth game.
Ummmm....people on this board said the same thing about IU last year. They had played in the weak Big Ten. People who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
quote:

Their strength of schedule ranks outside of the top 30, genius. Go cry on a Big Ten board.


We won't really know until at least a few weeks into the season. You'd think the last three years would have humbled SEC fans but I guess not.

Their schedule is a joke because they play a Big Ten conference schedule? Perhaps you missed how the Big Ten did against the SEC last year.
The Donald Trump TACO strategy.
That random conference is considerably wealthier. Considerably.
Now the SEC really cares a lot about baseball huh? Who needs football and basketball right?

becuase recruiting and player development, which the SEC was incomparably elite at, no longer matters as much as how much you're willing to pay teenagers. That's pretty much it.


Also, we have gone to a larger playoff system where teams have to prove it on the field. UGA didn't get to just automatically be placed into the semifinals like in past years.
