wisconsin proved today they were a joke. illinois is better than usual, but still a ron zook coached team, and still a mostly joke. penn state is an ok team, i'll give them that. UM on the other hand, is still a joke in my book. sure, they played ok the past few games, but those first two were evidence, and the last few were against not too tough of games. didnt prove much.

i guess my point i'm trying to make is to see someone like OSU as #1, when the only reason UF, LSU, UK, USCe, and others like that have losses is cause we HAVE to beat each other up in the toughest conference ever. and it just bugs me that osu could get the trip to the game so easily compared to an sec schedule.

I think you SEC guys are severely over estimating the strength of the SEC conference. Normally I would agree with you that the SEC is better, but this year I really dont think it is. I think the Pac 10 is just as good if not better. The Big 10 is definatly down this year but we will see.

The title picture is wide open this year and whoever makes it to the BCS game deserves it whether it be an SEC team or not, even if you feel they dont.

the problem with ND not wanting to split the bowl game money is they have to make it to a bowl game

They have been to two straight BCS bowl games, Id say that is making it to bowl games wouldnt you? Now obviously not this year, but still.

i really dont find the sec that over rated. i mean, you've got lsu, uf, usce, kentucky, tennessee, auburn, georgia, and alabama. all of those teams are NOT joke teams, they play hard, and seem to pull wins a lot. the main reason i rate the sec as highly as i do is because if you play in the sec, it's a given you're going to come out with some losses. no team in the country could make it through an sec schedule without a loss. but i guarantee you a lot of teams could make it through a LOT of other schedules without a loss.

but what it comes down to, as usual, is opinion. of course mine is somewhat biased, but the facts are also there, and when you see the games come down to the last minute (or into overtime, or even triple overtime) you know that those teams are good out there, and you're in your seat till the last minute most games.

and with the notre dame thing.... yeah, they have, but the point i was making was on this year, not the past. it was only intended as a joke, lol, not being serious
