Big 10 still the top dog. Big 12 and SEC suck

Even though the Huskers haven't had much input onto the recent B1G success, it's nice to be able to be associated with the winning.

WHen Nebraska was great I used to make fun of my Kentucky buddy who bragged about the SEC. Conference bragging was lame to me.

Now? What else we got? Hehe…. I’ll take it. Once everyone was allowed to pay athletes, amazing how the SEC National Titles seemed to dry up a bit.
Yep. With NIL, the SEC isn’t the only one paying their players now. Now you can go elsewhere and make as much. The new playing field has hurt the SEC.

No, your buddy was right. It's still lame. It's what losers do.

One thing that will help even the rankings down the road is the SEC will play 9 conference games next year.

It is why that crybaby (but still funny guy) Saban quit. I don't blame him either, dude had it made for 10 years at Bama when those boosters decided to go "all in" with buying players. Not that it wasn't happening before, we know it was, they just took it to a new level.

Well, that level is gone. Now you have 30ish teams that can win and that will spend money. If Buffett wasn't such a dork with his money he could put NU in the top 10 each year.

Interesting thought. I don't think you are saying this, but did Indiana buy a natty?

Who tf cares. We arent a part of said greatness. I dont give two f's if the B1G hoists the crown if it isnt Nebraska. And seeing as how Nebraska is clearly never winning one again, I genuinely dont care if the B1G never wins another title.
Coaching matters.

The stars just aren't aligned in Lincoln.

Just proving a point. Certain posters on here yapping about how great the SEC and Big 12 are is just comical. I'll let you figure out who they are.

I admit im a bit skeptical of Indianas run. I have a hard time believing Cignetti just figured out the game of football in a way no one else has. But I may be underselling the talent level they had. On paper it wasnt much, but they sure played great. Who knows. Maybe 10 yeads from now it turns out that roster was filled with pro bowl talent. We shall see.

Fair enough. The last thing I want for us is to become the modern South Carolina fan. Claiming we've achieved something because one of our conference foes won the title. Meanwhile they rode the bottom half of the SEC rankings for two decades.

That said if this narrative helps fix the SEC bias (which ESPN wont let happen without a fight) then it does have its usefulness. I just will never be able to bring myself to be "satisfied" that anyone but Nebraska is champion.

Keep your eye on the preseason power index. Last year there SEC had 13 teams in the top 25



Here is a link to the Top 20... 11 teams in the Top 20. That conference and ESPN can perform fellacio on my genitalia, because I am so tired of hearing how tough their conference is.

The one good thing about NIL, Playoff and the portal is everyone gets a shot. No more Bama vs Georgia every fvcking year. The old days of the $EC running the show are over.
