[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1846058, member: 748116"] We love the improvement we see in the Illini football program. It's fun to see winning games again and a brighter future. But what this latest College Football Championship shows is that programs like Georgia are just on a whole other level. They are now one of the maybe four programs that are always a full level higher than everyone else in the Top Ten... and much higher than the most everybody else in the Country. This is the current landscape of college football. Quasi-pro-level talent every single year and punishing opponents for the top-level programs. SEC teams will pick up a loss or two most seasons because of the awesome level of talent overall in that Conference as they work on each other. TCU is a good, good team. And they were leveled. That tells you just where the state of college football is now. SEC is separating itself a bit above Big Ten level. And Big Ten is a full level better than everyone other than most in SEC. Big 12 seems to have a brighter future as things settle down in the shifting conferences and might try to rival the Big Ten in coming years. Big Ten needs to add Washington and Oregon to round things out. And the Illini? Just keep getting better and giving us happy Saturdays. [/QUOTE]
