Do you even get excited about football each week? Most of your teams play 2 or 3 games a season vs a ranked team
It’s gotta suck playing ball state, Kent state, Ashland, oberlin, buffalo, and the little sisters of the poor 8 weeks a year

It's gotta suck being so obsessed over another conference and then that conference winning national titles 3 years in a row, especially your #1 hated school

I get excited most weeks. Of course Ball State and Kent State dont get you excited like maybe LA Tech or Mcneese but we make up for it other ways. Like for Example playing Texas, Iowa, USC, Oregon, Indiana and Michigan. It all balances out in the end.

Doubt it.
Regular season gets kind of boring when you win National Titles every year.

I have good friends who are Iowa fans and they’ve got three tough games in a row.

And yet somehow they still mop the floor with SEC Schools in the Playoffs every year.
You sound silly & petty trying to bash a conference that's won 3 straight Nattys.

Or you get to play cupcakes like Texas A&M, Arkansas, Mississippi State and the like. How much does it suck to be out of CFP contention by week four?

I'll give you this year. OSU has a solid schedule.

But the last 4 years, OSU has only had 3 ranked matchups in the regular season for each of those 4 seasons. And 3 of the 4 years, one of the ranked matchups was a non-conference game. So only 2 of 9 conference games a year featured a ranked opponent. Conference schedules like that will make ACC teams blush.

The last 3 years the Big10 has beat the shite out of the SEC in the playoffs on the way to 3 straight National Championships.

So WTF is even your point?

I was in the stadium when Tennessee came up here and they honestly didn't look too much better than Kent state or ball state.

We're talking regular season conference schedule. But if you want to bring up natties, then congrats on 3 in a row. The SEC won 14 of the prior 20 national titles before that and the Big 10 only had 1 in that span.

That the conference regular season schedule is often not as compelling as it could be because the conference watered itself down with adding doormat programs

But maybe the Big 10 is onto something. Have enough bottom feeders so your contender teams play 75% of their games against 3 or 4 touchdown underdogs gives the starters plenty of opportunity to rest in the 4th quarter and be more rested and healthy for the playoffs.

You say that like it’s a counter to the point you are responding to and not supporting of it.

That is correct. We also won the revolutionary war, civil war, war of 1812, Mexican war, WW1,and WW2.

We lost Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. So far.

So the SEC was on top many years ago. Big 10 caught up and is kicking the SEC’s butt ever since.

So SEC can’t compete with the big boys anymore.

Downvote away, but get ready for another big 10 national champion.

There are 10 Power 4 schools who've yet to play an opponent who was ranked in the top 60 in FPI (at game time). Seven of them -- Nebraska, Iowa, USC, Washington, Indiana, UCLA and Penn State -- are in the Big Ten, but it hasn't kept four of them from being ranked in the AP top 20.

As someone who lives in Columbus, yes they get excited. With every blow out they tho k their team is better. For the last 20 years the SEC is always just overrated and the big 10 rules- according to the locals.

True. Who cares?

Get ready for another OSU national championship. Again. You boys can’t keep up.

Just like General Lee.
