In Reply to: Uh, Iowa and Wisconsin lost to the SEC, despite opt-outs posted by Pyperkub on January 02, 2024 at 14:07:39
Iowa has no offense at all and Wisconsin is switching to a new approach on offense under their new coach but yes, the lower half of the B1G isn't great.
Still, it was interesting to me that - with expansion - this year's final four came down to two from the B1G and two from the SEC. The SEC's rep is based in large part on its great programs - esp. Alabama, Georgia, then LSU, sometimes Auburn and under Kiffin Mississippi. Texas and Oklahoma add to that. So seeing two top SEC programs (and admittedly the omission of GA from the mix this year was significant) fall to B1G programs in the semi-finals was interesting.
