@PEARatings Yes. What I’ve tried to articulate post NIL era, particularly the last 3ish years. The SEC is deeper and wider. That’s a tradition that I believe will take years to unwind (if ever). That said - I also believe the “best” teams in the league, reside in the B10
@On3 8 of those 24 matchups were playoff games , the B10 going 5-3 there. Additionally - the 2026 draft was the first draft since 2015 where the B10 had more 1st round picks. Simply put - with Saban gone and NIL driving recruitment - it’s a different league now
@On3 Well. It’s less about a singular team and more the Macro picture. I agree - the variance in the playoffs is so small that any couple teams could win it year over year. That said - in the L5 years of bowl games , the B10 is 17-7 in H2H matchups. Furthermore -
