Quote:Yes.  No question.  And every bowl season we see the results.

 

 

Well, since 2004, the SEC is 15-12 vs the Big Ten in Bowl Games. Closer than you'd think.

 

I'll maintain:

Top of the SEC > Top of Big 10 > Middle of SEC > Middle of Big 10 > Bottom of SEC > Bottom of Big 10.

 

I'd say each level would be capable of competing against the higher level, but would not be considered favorites. For example:

Michigan St. and Ohio St. would be capable of competing with the top of the SEC, but would not be considered favorites.

Tennessee and Arkansas would be capable of competing with the middle of the Big Ten, but would not be considered favorites.
