Quote:I think it's just a bitter pill to swallow for many Gator fans, that Urban Meyer is at OSU and hasn't lost a game yet.


Now, I will agree with them, for now, that OSU isnt quite as good yet, because of the level of competition regarding SEC vs OSU's.


But, it won't be long until Urban has recruited many of the best players in the nation. When that happens, the Buckeyes competition will probably still be weaker. But, as a team, they will be able to compete, and most likely win, vs most of what the SEC has to offer. They will be as strong, or even stronger, then most of the SEC.


As long as the BIG 10-11-12 stays fairly weak, OSU will be in prime position for playoffs/NC games vs the SEC for a lot of years.

 

I don't think Urban Meyer has anything to do with it. Board members have been hating on Ohio State forever. But I can understand some Gators fans blaming Urban now. They think he only quit to get away from problems at Florida and lied about retiring to spend more time with his family. But the hate on Ohio State started long before that happened - and so did some hate on Urban Meyer.

 

One thing a lot of people ignore is the fact that the SEC has as many bad teams as good teams. When Georgia and Florida met neither team was ranked. The other dog team, Mississippi State, has been even worse. Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss are also perennial losers and Arkansas has been bad this season. Why is everyone acting like Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Missouri, South Carolina, and TAMU are the entire SEC?
