Funny you mention Wisconsin and Penn St. when they've had the most recent success against the SEC along with scUM and Iowa. The Big-10 is underrated. It can't be anything else when people rag on it as much as they do. |

But at the same time, schools like Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State are also on the uptick. The only SEC team last year that I don't think could have made a serious charge at a top 5 Big 10 finish was Ole Miss, and with Houston Nutt now there, they should be improved.

I think Chris Wells should be ranked much higher than 28

I'll give you that, but IMO our third and fourth best teams wouldn't have a winning record in the SEC not last year. It doesn't look like it's gonna be much better this year. |

But the SEC is that much better than everyone. I'd take us in matchups vs. the Pac 10 or the Big 12.

You have to admit that having five coaches with a National Championship (not including one with an undefeated season) coaching in the same conference is a sick stat.
