It'd be a pretty crushing blow to the SEC country, would it?

I actually don't know the last time the SEC failed to win three straight national championships, which speaks to the high bar that they've set for themselves, but also that the Big Ten's adapted better to the new world of college football.

Yeah.

And Indiana is the perfect example of that.

Right.

Because of how bad Indiana was before Kurt Cignetti got here, before they invested with NIL and they figured out that the transfer portal exists and they have.

Yeah, they were like the UCLA of the Big Ten.

They were bad.

They were really, really bad.

But I think it being Indiana, because I do think they go on to win the national title, but it being Indiana to win the third straight for the Big Ten would just crush college football altogether, especially the Southeastern Conference.

They don't know what to do.

Alabama fans were silent on the Internet after the Rose Bowl because they were just in shock.

They don't know how to handle it.

And the Big Ten has proven it is impossible.

Top-heavy, yes, but it's just so much better than any other conference in the country, and it's not even close.

And to Ryan's point about teams still not taking Indiana seriously, I don't think that happens against Oregon or in the national championship game if the Hoosiers get there.

because you'd be stupid to do so because it's all on film and they've proven how good they are in everything that they do.

So I don't expect anybody, including Dan landing in the ducks in round two to overlook Indiana by any means, because they got beat by 10 last time.

Roman, I don't even know if I agree with Gowen's note in there that, well, the SEC is deeper, but the Big Ten is better at the top.

I don't know.
