Why wouldn't Big 10 backers be spouting off about the SEC being overrated and the Big 10 being better than anyone gave them credit for. Back in week 2 everyone in the national media said the Big 10 was horrible and had no chance to have a playoff team. The conference is 5-4 in bowl games even though they were a underdog in every game including 2-1 in head to head games against the SEC. Everyone has talked so much about how great the SEC has been the past few years it is only right when they struggle that should be thrown in their face like it is other conferences.
