This is pretty much how I see it. The SEC's bellcow has always been Bama. When Bama is really good the SEC is even better. The Big's bellcows are OSU and Michigan. When Michigan is really good it'll make their conference much better and much more respected nationally.He will have a much better chance of winning a National Championship from Michigan than he ever did at his previous two coaching stops in college. If he can turn Stanford into a winner with the challenges they have on recruiting just imagine what he can do at a traditional power house football school with the resources they will put at his command. Personally I want Michigan to be good again. He has name recognition and the fact that he coached in a Super Bowl will sit well with a lot of recruits. I think he would have them competing for a play off birth in 3 years. The entire Big 10 should chip in for this higher. Much as a rising Tide floats all boats in the SEC a good to great Michigan helps the Big 10.
I love when the traditional powers are in play. While ND was a pretender in 2012, their fanbase at the Orange Bowl was nothing but pure class and a matchup like that is what college football is all about.
Bama vs. OSU is the same....much more intriguing than Bama vs. TCU IMO.
