Thanks. It sometimes pains some of us to root for what would otherwise be a rival, but the "SECification" of certain, un-named sports networks (oh heck, here's their initials as a hint: ESecPN) has made it a lot easier.
It's anticipated that the addition of Jim Harbaugh should make the BT that much stronger as a conference. Like Meyer, he knows how to put together a team and WIN, and with Michigan he'll be given all of the tools he needs to do so.
We'll have to see how the rest of the conference plays out. Wisky and MSU have both established themselves as perennial contenders for the BT championship, IMO, and both are looking to make the next step (although with the coaching change at Wisky, that may have some impact). Nebraska has served notice that they don't just want to win, but I'm not sure if they can get back to where they were, the state isn't producing the corn-fed killer linemen that it once was. PSU can come back, but they weren't all that and a bag of potato chips before the mess; now they're in a division where they will have to get past OSU, an anticipated resurgent Michigan and a contender in MSU.
Who do you think the Big 12 picks up to get them back up to divisional playoff numbers? I'd say that Boise or the Mormon schools could provide some good additions.
