That's life in the SEC.
Actually, that's life in the B12.  Only one of our 4 top 11 opponents is in the SEC.

How did the Wolverines drop behind the Domers?

It was a generality, with your fact making it slightly sarcastic.

Iowa and Penn State disrespected.
A decade of Victory over Penn State.

All in since 1969

UGA, in the SEC, plays 12 and 21, but of course we tolerate mediocrity.

doesn't Ferentz have a bit of a record of slumping with high expectations and also following a good season?

A top team is less likely to play that many ranked opponents in conference for obvious reasons.

Cincy goes on and on about the Dawgs lackluster schedule

has to lean on the non-con schedule for decent matchups

I'd  guess Tenn gets ranked at some point, maybe even UF and USCe, but they all are in the 26-40 range preseason.  Miss State is the random opponent this year in the West, with Auburn.  So, not really an apparently tough slate.

Counterpoint: do I really have to respect Iowa?
