Since the Inception of the AP Poll in 1936, the Big Ten has Repeated as AP NC Exactly Twice

[spiderland]

With the last time in ‘42 when OSU succeeded Minnesota as champs after the Goophs’ repeat NC in ‘41.

Over the same period of time, the SEC has done it 13 times. Ouch.

I’m considering conference affiliation at the time of championship, btw. So for example, I don’t consider any Penn State or USC NCs to be Big Ten, nor do I consider any Texas or OU to be SEC.

Time to start closing that gap Monday night.

Sure closed the gap quickly when cheating your asses off is no longer an advantage.

Been saying that these last 2 years.

It’s so painfully obvious how much cheating the SEC has been doing.

Now that it’s even, we may never see another SWC champion in our lifetime.

It will be mostly B1G teams from here on out.

Voting was just a popularity contest. Pure b.s. should have always been a tournament.

Thats what happens when you travel and play all the Big games on the road in SEC country.

Much more legit system now. Old days before BCS beating someone not even ranked #2 in a bowl game and being crowned champs or the BCS computer crap.

Ya, that's true. What we should have had all along was the same few teams that get all the talent and have all the resources continually win the national championship that they really win before the season ever starts.

Agree and with the new 12-team Playoff, the NC will have to win 4 straight games against the best teams in the country.

It will be interesting to see how teams with the bye learn how to better prepare so that they don't come out rusty. Pretty wild that every team with the bye lost.

Aside from history, also working against Ohio State on Monday will be an all-SEC officiating crew.








OSU is f***ed.
