You're trying to rewrrite history because you're scared of playing in the real league. The SEC lost talent because we produce more NFL players than anyone, and the next wave of five-stars is already on campus. Georgia and Alabama reload, they don't rebuild. Our non-conference schedule is always brutal, and adding Miami just proves we aren't afraid to play anyone. Meanwhile, your whole argument depends on Indiana and a Penn State quarterback. We play in a league where every single week is a fight for survival against future pros. That Big Ten depth you're praising doesn't compare to walking into Death Valley or facing Texas in Austin fr fr. The SEC schedule is a gauntlet because the margin for error is zero, and everyone knows it.
