Watching this game on CBS, they both look so athletic and fast...thoughts?
We better be ranked over the loser of this game.
I would love for the Gophers to get a chance to play either of those teams in Minnesota in the snow and cold. I don't think we'd be favored even at home but we'd have a decent shot at winning.
Do you think SEC teams dream of playing B1G teams in early Sept in the 95 degree heat?

No, MN is a good team that has not yet been tested.
Wait until the 10th of November before comparing the Gophers to teams who have been tested.
I think MN vs Florida on a neutral field would be close to a pick-em and I'd take us. Georgia would probably be favored by about 10.
Big Ten teams play and practice in the heat every single year. They can play in any environment that football is played in. SEC teams rarely if ever play in the full range of weather. They're only prepared to play in some conditions. Weather is a big part of sports and the SEC gets to avoid cold weather because they don't play away games outside of SEC territory and the bowl games are almost all either in the south or indoors. Georgia is a bit of an exception but most of the SEC relies on passing so much that if it's snowy and they need to rely on running and stopping us from running, I like our odds.
SEC teams generally are in the southeast part of the country. Where it’s a lot warmer and doesn’t snow. Teams from all conferences are usually playing conference games in October and November. What would you expect? Alabama to cancel their annual year end game against Auburn so they can come play the Gophers?

Pretty funny, now we are asking for Alabama ! Let's see if we can beat PSU and UW.

Because for all of the "SEC is superior" talk, it would be fun to see how an elite SEC team would fare in 30 and flurries.
Literally not one person in the thread even mentioned Alabama.

You sure about that ? My answer to the title is competitive with Florida. Beatdown by Georgia. My opinion.
