We've got 7 National Championship trophies dating back to the 40's (Ohio State doesn't count the mythical NC that were awarded 20 years after the fact by some farmer's almanac)...there is more tradition, national championships, Heisman trophy winners, first round draft picks and all-americans that have come through Ohio State than most of the SEC teams combined - that includes LSU, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, and Georgia. In 2005, Ohio State had more 1st round draft picks (5) than the entire SEC combined...so don't tell me about 1 trick ponies. And yes, how quickly everyone forgets Nebraska dismantling Florida, one of the greatest teams to ever come from the SEC. And when it happens again, yes, there will be hell to pay. You might be on a little run now, but that is only because you schools have the highest paid coaching salaries in the country and the vast majority of your coaches have zero integrity and push the recruiting violations envelop to the extreme. 32

Your **STAR** defensive player couldn't stop Hester and Holliday... and that team is loaded?? I mean, Chris Wells is a nice running back, but theres about a dozen guys on his level playing bigtime ball... I mean not to talk up USC, because God knows they don't need it, but how ridiculous is Joe McKnight going to make that the Buckeyes' defense look? tOSU has a loaded team this year but they have to play USC in LA, where only Stanford seems to have the kryptonite.

I think Miami may have the record for most talent taken in the top 5 rounds there in the early part of this decade, that probaly still start in the NFL as of right now,and that says something for Butch Davis and Larry Coker.....Miami when they were good would be one hell of recruiting trip, especially going to South Beach as a top rated Miami player in the "heyday" To get Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Hester, Portis, Gore,Shockey, Winslow(he's a soulja),Mcgahee, Andre Johnson,Vilma,Dorsey in a 5 yrs span much less on the same team.......you had to have naked chicks in the dorms is all I'm sayin tAFKAsAnSOB makes a vaild point, many people, when given a choice to spend their college years in mostly cold weather or warm weather, will choose the warmest.

Big 10 is good for O/DL lineman and linebackers, one really good 6th round QB from Michigan, the SEC does pretty good for RBs and inside-outside linebackers/DE speed rush types, and QB's named Manning-Back to back World Champions in the same family from a championship Conference.....

But yeah, the rose bowl is just another bcs bowl now. Anything more is an illusion of grandeur. Let me say this, I take no sides in this debate, but SEC, if the tide ever turns, like a midwestern team again beating your undefeated champion and probably that school's best team of all time 62-24, there will be hell to pay.
