too bad it's impossible for athletic teams to actually play one another to determine a winner, if it were up to me I would call this imaginary thing 'playoffs' where teams are seeded based on regular season records.

before everyone calls me crazy think about this, you have the highest seeded team play the lowest seeded team, winner moves on to play next team (i would call this thing a bracket)

there would be 4 of these brackets. maybe 8 teams in each bracket for a total of 32 teams... so in one bracket it would be a 4 playing a 32 and in another 1 playing a 29 and ...

see it's just so damn confusing it could never be done.

Ohio State is very good but the week to week beating takes it toll in the SEC... Heres a 5 game stretch from a recent season.... @Texas, @Bama, @Auburn, vs A&M, vs LSU... Call me another conference plays a stretch of opponents like that.... Every SEC team has a tough 3-4 week stretch every year.

The SEC is the best conference by leaps and bounds - at the same time OSU would do as well as the best team in the SEC is gonna do if not better - of course they could lose a game on possibly two

Agreed.

What if they were in the SEC East? They would beat each team by 20+, just like Urban did at UF. Then it would come down to 1-2 games a season, just like now.

when we discuss SEC west, I know how mighty Toledo fared against one of those tough teams.

Ohio State would likely win the SEC East this year and last year.................Georgia would be only team capable of giving them a game in the SEC East right now this year...........Tennessee is talented and inexperienced, but not on that max level yet (at least not right now)...............If they were in the SEC West this year I'm guessing they would lose at least 1 game due to the attrition factor of (Alabama, LSU, A&M, Ole Miss , top teams in that division plus the other teams are no gimmes with attrition playing a role)..........Then of course Ohio State being defending champs (which they earned) they would get everyone's best game from the SEC West.........That combined with attrition would certainly mean they would lose 1 or possibly more games............However, if Ohio State was in the SEC East this year and got to play some key games at Home I could see them running the table all the way to the SEC Title Game..................So the answer I think is it depends on what division of the SEC they are in.........East, yes...............West, not as likely and a lot tougher.

^^^^^^^^^^ ..........It should also be noted the last time the SEC East won a SEC Title Championship Game Urban Meyer was the coach at Florida in 2008..........SEC East been getting abused for the last several years by the SEC West in the Title Game......Furthermore, Missouri stepped right in and won the SEC East twice already which isn't a big endorsement of that division either and obviously they didn't represent the SEC East well the last two years in the SEC Title Game losing by 17 and 29 points ....

Likely to forfeit at half time in every game due to getting beat so bad.:smoking:
You are so jealous. You crack me up.
forfeit at halftime is what nd should have done the last 3 times we played them. Or at least when they played Al in the title game. Basically the same Al team we beat on our way to the national championship with a 3rd string Qb.

It ain't so much Ohio State is that good as it is Urban Meyer is that good. The guy brings winning and championships wherever he goes.

?.....vs. a B10 stadium that has more Ohio State fans than the home team makes it more difficult.

Mich st
iowa
wisky
mich
penn st
nebraska


All GREAT stadiums that have only a small contingent of Buckeye fans when compared to the home crowd.......

In terms of football, Big Ten conference best alltime.

Overall, since 2000, without question, ABSOLUTELY no doubt.


Alltime and for the past year and a half, no.

Based on what....NCs, Rankings, Talent, NFL Draftees?

Colin Cowherd: "Ohio State Would Run Through The SEC"



i agree with this guy.. I know it kills people to have ohio state sitting on the mountain top but it is what it is.. heads and shoulders better then any team I saw this year.. ND fans obviously still bitter over the ass rape Bama gave them..I understand it is a hard pill for the sec fan to swallow, but for the last two years the best team in america is not from the sec and this year will not be any different...

fn hilarious. that loss dropped the SEC West to, ahemm, 47-1 L48 non-conference regular season games. care for me to pull the same data on the big 10? clowns

conference = SEC and game type = RS and date > 20130921 and not C and cdivision = West
SU:47-1-0 (32.69, 97.9%)Teaser Records
ATS:26-19-2 (2.30, 57.8%) avg line: -30.2+6: 34-13-0 (72.3%)-6: 18-29-0 (38.3%)+10: 36-10-1 (78.3%)-10: 17-30-0 (36.2%)
O/U:20-20-4 (-1.76, 50.0%) avg total: 59.4+6: 13-31-0 (29.5%)-6: 27-17-0 (61.4%)+10: 10-34-0 (22.7%)-10: 29-14-1 (67.4%)

btw OSU would do just fine in the SEC west but no other team in the big 10 would even have a .500 conference record
