i agree. to be the best, you have to beat the best. but i just do not see the B1G producing the best in the meantime. and the sec has a pretty tight clench on their perception of being head and shoulders above everyone. so, we might as well become the best in a mediocre conference, rather than just mediocre. and frankly, osu could make it to the mnc and have a puncher's chance just because of the way schedules are set up.
i just want us to win, anymore. and i have very little faith that the B1G will step up and become an elite conference. at least anytime soon.
In order for the B1G to compete with the SEC, each team (or most of them) will have to have elite coaching. That just isn't the case right now, including Nebraska....
