I'm actually pretty ticked about that. I hate this conference with a passion. It was a shotgun wedding to begin with and i'm tired of having no marquee matchups besides OU while the SEC has a big game every week it seems.
I think we discussed this before, would have loved to see TX and ND rounding out the big 14 - would have been a great conferance
Its still more competitive week in and week out than the Big 10.
Not so sure, now with Colorado and Nebraska gone, or even before but they have had a pretty good run in recent years. But OK St and Mizz will have trouble maintaining their level
The way I look at it, the Big 12 might get weaker as you go down. But the top two programs are playing at an elite level right now. The Big 10 has Ohio State, and then every other year Penn State does well, but where is Michigan? They need Michigan to get on the ball, because right now, Ohio State has a cakewalk to the title most years.

Agree - Michigan needs to step up thier game
Just nice to see football season right around the corner

Dont know about that...I agree that Mizzou will have a hard time, but OK St will always be able to compete simply because they are right above the biggest and largest football recruiting pool in the nation-Texas. They will always be able to get some players that UT, Oklahoma and A&M missed.
Today, even our football team is better than UGA's.
That just made me spit out my coffee and I wasn't even drinking any. Are you kidding me dude? Please tell me you're kidding.
Let's take a look at the records of the past 5 seasons:
2004
Rutgers: 4-7
Georgia: 10-2
2005 Rutgers: 7-5
Georgia: 10-3
2006 Rutgers: 11-2
Georgia: 9-4
2007 Rutgers: 8-5
Georgia: 11-2
2008 Rutgers: 8-5
Georgia: 10-3
2009 Rutgers: 9-4
Georgia: 8-5
One good year does not make Rutgers anywhere near the level of Georgia. Not to mention Georgia plays in a conference which has produced our last four national champions...Rutgers plays in the Big Least.

I hope you're joking about those high school teams actually giving Rutgers even a small bit of trouble...but in terms of "top" high school football powerhouses you're forgetting Byrnes High School in South Carolina. Some of the top rated players in the country have come out of that school and they're constantly ranked in the Top 5 in the nation.
The South definitely has much better football than any state up North...but if you don't think Jersey has great football and doesn't produce top-notch talent, you're buggin.

Teams in Texas, like Trinity, Katy, Permian, etc, would beat any Ivy League team by about 4 touchdowns.
