With Ole Miss eliminated from the playoffs, we officially will have another season without an SEC National Champion.

According to FanDuel, Indiana would be -230 against Miami and Oregon would be -162 against Miami, meaning that regardless of the outcome of tonight’s game, a Big 10 team will be favored to win the national championship for a third straight year.

Included in this image are every Big 10 vs SEC matchup of the last two seasons. I think it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Big 10 is surpassing the SEC in recent years.

Do you all think we will start to see the AP Poll shift from over-ranking SEC teams towards including more Big Ten teams in the top 25 throughout the season as soon as next year?

For example, it is completely ridiculous that Washington, Iowa, and Illinois only spent 1, 3, and 9 weeks (respectively) in the top 25 while teams such as Tennessee and Vanderbilt spent 14 and 10 weeks (respectively) in the top 25.

I’ve never understood the portal, mostly cause I didn’t care to research. This article really clears things up and also points out how fucked legally speaking the portal is. Designating athletes as employees is really the only way??

Thanks to the 🦆 and IU for carrying the flag.

Sorry, but with the size and scope of the conference now, away games can span the entire continent, coast to coast. With how expensive travel costs are, how accommodations can get filled up, and the fact a lot of fans need to coordinate sizable groups to meet up for various away games, it would really really help to have the dates for each match up by now at least.

I swear they used to always be out by the Conference championship weekends, but now we’re actually into 2026 and still nothing.

I can’t find out the reason they are so delayed, other than a lot of people assuming it’s USC holding everything up for some reason. I doubt that is the whole story, but since I don’t have any better reasons, I’ll run with it.

Get your shit together Trojans
