they simply took it for granted all these years that they would always get the best talent & overall rosters as they weren’t afraid to pay .

things have changed

They coasted on the absolutely massive ESPN deal before NIL. The playing field is actually more even since then(for the the AQ schools/ND at least).

People don't realize how much that benefitted Indiana(not that Cig isn't a fantastic coach too...). It is still fantastic to be an SEC school, the Big Ten just made some fantastic decisions(quickly too...) that made up a ton a ground on the SEC and likely even took the top spot from them at this point.

Even schools at the bottom of the conference fight like absolute dogs. Purdue against USC, NU too.

It's annoying that even the third tier, bottom feeder teams like SCar feel the need to trash talk us. They were calling us "Syracuse" before playing us and then end up losing to us

Jim Delaney must be laughing his azz off. IMHO, the sec (no caps no longer, small letters to match the smallness of the conference) is in the review mirror and fast fading. I hope our coaches and ADs talk only about the B1G, its member institutions, and its status as the premier conference in the good ole USA!

scUM................they have earned that moniker by their daily dealings in the underbelly of gutteral actions and ploy's to win at all costs and doing it in such asinine ways to be easily caught in their no class scenario's.........

mr. coward and mr. harbought are perfect examples of NOT leaders of young men.......they really really aren't............

UNC put GM Mike Lombardi on paid leave. I, for one, am shocked his tenure hasn't been a roaring success... I wonder what insane thing he did to finally get BB to pull the plug.

Saban probably believes what he's saying, or at least that it's his job to say it, given his boss's conflict of interest with the SEC. And the SEC has a decent argument it's got better depth at the bottom. They're one of the two best conferences for sure. But the post season has always been where braggin rights are settled, and after a long illustrious run, they're are on the wrong side of it now 3 years running.

no one really cares how the bowl INELIGIBLE teams from the two conferences would do against each other and everyone knows that .

what matters is how teams 1-12 do . I think we undoubtedly hold our own vs them

roster creation rules are basically equal now
