[QUOTE="KevinC, post: 1691770, member: 5621"] Even when the media and football fans around the country consider the B1G the top football conference in the country, many on this site automatically have been brainwashed into thinking that it is the SEC. I have lived in the South for over 25 years and have watched the SEC marketing machine at work. MI lost because this year's O philosophy did not match up well, at all, against GA. And losing the ALL B1G cb destroyed what they do on D. MI might beat Bama 35 to 40% this year but, I truly believe the MI would lose every single match-up against GA. That doesn't mean that I think that GA is better than Bama. It just means Bama's approach and talent gives them a chance to do things against GA that MI could not accomplish. I think that OSU would have beat GA like Bama did but, OSU could not beat MI on the day they played. IMO, the SEC is vastly overrated with the exception of Bama and generally a 2nd good team (this year, GA). Too many on here believe the hype. The fact that the SEC is willing to plan to throw the ball 30 to 50 times a game gives them major advantages in big games like last night. Someone, on another site, credited Bama's pounding the ball on the ground for their win against Cincy. They didn't start pounding it until the 4th qtr when they had a big lead and were just trying to run out the clock. They totally ignored the fact that Bama threw the ball 23 times in the 1st half. Back to your point, I totally agree with you!! The SEC is not what many here try to make it into. [/QUOTE]
