The playmakers are not the only thing that separate the SEC and the Big Ten. What about the bravado of the fans?
The clocking was ticking down and the full-throated fans started chanting “SEC, SEC, SEC.”
You ever hear a crowd chant “Big Ten, Big Ten”? The passion of the SEC fans — they always lead the country in attendance — pays the big salaries to the coaches, who chase the big paycheck, and chase the big playmakers … all of them it seems.
There were too many playmakers for Ohio State, which is how a Michigan Man, Les Miles, thumped those Buckeyes good for all the folks back home.
On this same floor last week, Georgia thought it laid claim to the national championship with its convincing rout of unbeaten Hawaii. There has been week-long barking in Athens — whining really — about how the Dawgs felt they should have been in this game.
Georgia, which finished No. 2 in the AP poll, didn’t want any part of this game, unless Ohio State was on the other side of the field. The Bulldogs have some depth of talent, just like LSU, but Georgia doesn’t have the experience or the depth.
Southern California, the No. 2 team according to the coaches, has NFL players galore, but the Trojans lost to Stanford. They said their quarterback was hurt, but LSU beat a better team than Stanford — Tennessee — using their backup quarterback.

The Tigers deserve to be No. 1. If you don’t believe it, just examine the long list of playmakers for the reason why.
