[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Anyone know what's up with Wisco? [/ QUOTE ] The Badgers are returning all but 6 starters next year. On offense they are going to improve at QB because Donovan is a much better QB than Stocco and should have been starting the past two years. They lose Joe Thomas, but if there's one thing the Badgers can easily replace, its offensive lineman. They've got a nice 6'8" 317 lb Sr LT ready to replace him, and also have 6'8" 312 lb Fr #1 T recruit in the country Josh Oglesby coming in. On defense they will be keeping most of the core of what was already a very solid defense this year. Badgers win the Big Ten and are top 5 in the nation next year. [/ QUOTE ] Them versus Michigan is going to be a game next year. That is the only big game Michigan has to play on the road. Notre Dame, OSU, and PSU are all home next year.

[/ QUOTE ] A Big 12 team also played (and lost) in the national title game twice (2001 Nebraska & 2004 Oklahoma) during this span. The SEC also has 3 national champions during this span (Florida 1996, Tennessee 1998, LSU 2003) and two other national title game participants (Tennessee 1997 - loss, Florida - tbd). No other conference comes close to matching what the Big 12 and SEC have done since 1996. They're the 2 upper echelon power conferences of our recent times.

Re: 2008 National Champions (NCAAF)
Bernie,
I was just answering the question. PAC 10, Big 10, SEC or Big 12 are all good conferences with plenty of good teams per. The Big 12 does get a bad wrap as being a weak conference or a conference that lacks depth for the most part and this i disagree with.

Re: 2008 National Champions (NCAAF)
SEC has the most number of schools I think that can compete for a NC then any conference. Not a reflection of how they've done the last 5 but maybe last 15 or so.
SEC: Georgia, TN, Auburn, LSU, Florida right now, in the future maybe SC and Alabama. BE: WVU, Louisville, future maybe Rutgers P10: USC, OU future maybe Cal, OSU ACC: FSU, Miami (both teams not lately though) B10: Wisconsin, tOSU, Michigan (maybe not Wisconsin) B12: OU, Texas, Nebraska

Re: 2008 National Champions (NCAAF)
SEC also has a lot of periennel crappy teams such as Vandy, Kentucky, Ole Miss (other than the Eli years) and MSU. So do a bunch of the other conferences, but the discrepency between the good and the bad in the SEC is huge.

4. Michigan: Henne and Hart will probably be the best QB/RB duo in the nation next year. The losses on the defensive side of the ball and in the O-line will probably keep them from going undefeated though. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think the O-Line losses will hurt at all. Riley (the much-maligned RT), Bihl (C) and Kolodziej (hurt all year). If Steve Schilling had been healthy, he might have replaced Riley this season. Justin Boren got some experience. Much like opposing receivers, the defensive losses will be significantly harder to cover.
