We aren't in the the same field with the likes of Alabama. I somewhat expected the score last night, given our performance last year and given Nick Saban's propensity for having his teams coached extremely well...and to (cough) oversign with the best of them.
But I digress. Making broad generalizations about the B1G and SEC from this 1 game is a little silly. The SEC is a solid conference, but essentially boils down to two elite teams, a couple decent teams, and some perrenial bottom feeders. I don't see how this is much different from the PAC-12. Arguably, last year, the PAC-12 was a better conference (all around) with the likes of USC, Stanford, and Oregon, while the SEC had LSU and Alabama.
As for the B1G, I see us as having more solid teams, but no real elite teams, right now.
