the problem with the whole anti-SECbias is that traditional powers have sucked recently and there are a limited # of elite teams
anti-SEC bias? Really? I'd say the SEC is closing in on being as respected as a conference has ever been
The Pac-10 has always been a 1 league team based on who could recruit California the best. For most of the time it's been USC, but UCLA and Washington had some years. The team that can do it usually ends up being talented as frick though
The Big-10's problem is the falling population in the rust belt means there isn't as much talent to go around as there once was when the conference was awesome and most is going to OSU

that came off wrong
i mean those who are against those biased in favor of the SEC
there hasn't been a bias against the SEC since UF-OSU in the 06 title game
it's just not a fertile recruiting region
there is literally 1 state the produces top talent, and it happens to be Ohio. Penn and Mich are ok, but UM has to get a lot of its regional recruits from Ohio (PSU also) and PSU relies on the VA/Maryland area heavily. even OSU dips into other areas though
when you slice up California 3 ways, it's one thing. when you slice up Ohio 3 ways, it's another
it's not impossible to have super talented teams. OSU in 2002-2003 (long list of drafted players) and 2005 (talented as frick). it's just hard
the real frickup conference is the ACC. no excuse with all the talent in the coastal southeast + florida. without changing anything except coaching, they could almost automatically have 2 elite teams in year, year out added to the spectrum. then they could have their top 15 schools like VT and Clemson sprinkled in most years. instead they have talented teams who are mediocre and VT wins the fricking conference. it's a shame
