Once again, thank God for football season.
At the ass end of last season, my Gators were down three games and the bullshit Buckeyes were still undefeated. Strength of schedule was always the topic of argument between myself and my misguided Big 10 friends. I mean, how much do wins against teams like Akron and Kent really matter?
Sure, Florida lost a few games…but before that tragic Capital One Bowl loss to Michigan (which can be attributed to the curse of the Heisman, obviously), our losses were to other SEC powerhouses.
And they were close games. My heart was broken as I watched the Florida/Auburn game at a shitty bar in the Meatpacking District. Watching the LSU game from my seat in Baton Rouge’s Tiger Stadium the following weekend was even worse.
But in November, seeing the mediocre Illini assram the Buckeyes while freezing my ass off in the Horseshoe made the pain subside quite a bit.
Saturday night was a bloodbath, and 35-3 is the kind of score you’d expect a team like USC to have at the end of a season opener against a D2 school.
Mark my words- the Big 10 is bullshit, the ACC is irrelevant, and for the third consecutive year, the BCS champion will be an SEC team.
…but hopefully, said SEC team will have a real opponent this time.

don’t sleep on the Big 10 too much. Had Ohio State let their Freshman play, they might have had a chance at USC. Penn State is Nasty this year.
I grew in L.A. though and love SEC football.
I’m an Auburn Fan myself.
