Vanderbilt and Missouri to the West, Auburn and Alabama to the East and two divisions that could yield a champion on any given year will emerge. Right now Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia are suffering from ACC disease infecting them because the Vols are too close to North Carolina and the other states have to associate with in state ACC fan contagion.

That is a very bad scenario that could very well happen. Remember me saying awhile back how increasing SEC parity could end up harming the conference? The SEC needs four divisions and a four team conference tournament as much as anyone else. At least that way, whomever wins it will have two of the best wins back to back from all of the conference tournaments to sell themselves as earning a spot in the final National Playoff.

Ahem...

Georgia is looking pretty good too....

Wisconsin: OUT 2 Losses.
Nebraska: Likely Out 1 loss and one lousy win against McNeese State
Illinois: OUT
Michigan: Complete and abject incompetency.
Rutgers: Will go to a decent bowl IMO.
Iowa: OUT
Minnesota: OUT
Northwestern: Will likely get a bowl.
Maryland: OUT (like all ACC schools not named F.S.U.)
Indiana: Alive for a bowl
Purdue: Actually has a pulse and is having a good year for them.
Penn State: Could make a bowl
Ohio State: If only Braxton Miller were healthy. They'll make a good bowl.
Michigan State: If they win out they are the Big 10's rep in a 4 team playoff. If not no soup for the Big 10.

It's a good thing that a conference only needs one team to be good ever year..

The conference games are electric now, and that's good for the conference... the goal of every team should be to win their conference. Playoffs are just icing on the cake if you make it that far.

Conference championships are a primary goal, and the postseason is icing? You clearly haven't spent a lot of time around spoiled KU hoops fans who ignore the entire regular season and focus exclusively on the tournament.

Conference bragging rights based on NCs are definitely nice, but I agree that SEC fans should be enjoying the regular season ride before worrying about what happens in the NC. There's a helluva lot of good football to be played before January rolls around.

Maybe he just doesn't like the B1G, or really likes the ACC.

The ACC schools are our cousins and therefore family. Disgruntlement is kept in the house so to speak. You guys are outsiders. You're treated as guests until you become a pain in the butt. Then we remember the still not too distant war.

I guess someone needs to be reminded that the ACC has expanded....and it didn't expand just in the South.

Don't worry H1, we in North Carolina are used to taking one for the team (somebody had to take the Damn Yankees).
Also in The War, it was North Carolina who bore the brunt of battle and suffered more than 20% of the casualties (more than any other state in the Confederacy).
Yes, North Carolina, the place we commonly refer to as "the Vale of humility between two Mountains of conceit".

Yet only 1 Big 10 school has made the move, Indiana, and while not a perennial winner they have made strides in keeping games interesting and have knocked off a couple of Big 10 schools that prior to their change in scheme would have been considered too strong for them to beat.

I don't think they believe the speed exists within traditions B1G territory to run the spread. And Urban Meyer seems to be the only one capable pulling a decent number of recruits from the south to mitigate that deficit.

I always have trouble with this subject. How does the South grow faster players than the North. Is it in the hot sauce or something? I do not buy it. There are fast players in the B1G. They are just going to the MAC because the B1G believes in Bigger Is Better.
