OSU is the B10 alpha, Michigan is usually right there but not lately, then there is a second tier in the B10 that is much better than the B12 second tier.

SEC is top dog.

SEC is top dog, agreed.. but after last year i have to say Big 10 is the #2.. Big 12 outside of Texas OU and Neb there is a HUGE drop off.. Big 10 has OSU, penn st, iowa, Wisc, Michigan(if they ever turn it around) then the drop off from there is not as significant as it is in the big 12.. add Neb to the big ten and have Michigan turn things around.. big ten is the best conference in the country.. Another thing against the big12 NO DEFENSE!! except for a select few teams.. thats my opinion on that matter

Agree 100% with your assesment except IMO OU plays a pretty nice D usually and SEC is the best football conference from top to bottom.

As to Michigan: Rodriguez better win or go. I don't like how he runs his show, can see him getting UM into trouble. Michigan being a football power is good for all of the B10 IMHO.

SEC is, and would still be, better.

Of course they will, until the NCAA cracks down on over signing, I'd expect the SEC to continue to be the best.
