They think that too and I think y'all are wrong.    If you don't recruit the South, Texas or California you can't win on the national stage anymore.

Ohio, Michigan, PA still nice recruiting grounds but not enough.

In particular, I think Nebraska is in a lot of trouble long term.

I'm not a slave to recruiting ranking by any stretch but for 2014, it's Ohio State at 3 in the rivals rankings and you don't see another Big 10 team until Michigan State at 22.

Nebraska, Michigan and Penn State are in the low 30's behind luminaries like Arizona, NC State, Arizona State and Kentucky.

There are 11 SEC teams ahead of Neb, Michigan and PSU.  Missouri is directly behind them with Mississippi State only a few slots back of that.

The Big 10 is going to realize pretty quickly I think that their revenue model works amazingly well and their football model doesn't win or even really compete for National Championships except for (maybe) one guy in Columbus.

If they were so arrogantly 20 years in the past, they would have realized they need Florida State like a fat kid needs cake.

Meyer will be entertaining because he can't qualify with that schedule unless he's undefeated.  A one loss Ohio State is almost dead in the water barring calamity in the rest of the country.
