second fiddle to the SEC?

more like 5th fiddle, and now with the PAC-12 having USC off probation that's an even stronger conference.

"I'll say this, it would not surprise me to see the Pac-12 and B1G pull out of any playoff just to put a wrench in it."

Won't surprise me either, but Ohio State won't. Urban Meyers got to keep up his tradition of winning national titles. I'm sure he could care less about the Rose Bowl. Then again Ohio State only cares about one thing, so he will fit in well.

Big picture including all sports, etc.

"more like 5th fiddle"

Penn State likes to fiddle...

SEC is weak in basketball, outside of Kentucky.

All writers who I trust covering this seem to think there's no way try walk away from this.

Ohio is a weird creature. Fancies itself a school of education and integrity. Sure don't act that way.

Florida is a top program.

Weaker in hoops but having Kentucky makes them very important. Potential sleeping giant in Tennessee, too. Lots of talent in that state.

What they lack in basketball pedigree, they make for in other sports.

Yeah I guess if you add in other sports it helps the Big Ten. They are very overrated when it comes to football.

OSU a school of education and integrity? They wish.

Should have dealt weed for his predecessor

What an idiot. Why would you need to do this anyways after making millions in the NFL?

probably doesn't have those millions anymore

Notre Dame QB Tommy Rees was arrested this morning in South Bend for felony assault of a police officer. No word on whether he will be murdered by Brian Kelly.

The comments on this article are funny. It's a bunch of ND students pointing out that there school is better than SEC schools. The big problem is that the SEC actually wins football games.

Influential Nebraska President Harvey Perlman is against any playoff system that relegates the bowl games to "NIT" status.

Wow. I didn't even consider them NIT level.

The rest of the conferences should just tell the B1G to go pound sand.

They're not NIT level. His comments are just <stupid.

Only college football could screw up a billion dollar playoff by fighting for a system that costs 90% of the participants money

Monte Ball arrested/cited? for trespassing at Mifflin block party...whatever that is...hmmm
