I do think people underrate the top jobs of the ACC and Big 12

Certain schools have the money.
If the money is equal and the path is easier some of those jobs are very good

Not having to deal with a monster such as Ohio St (and/or others similar) could certainly be a plausible reason to consider a move for a Coach (HC or Asst) to the ACC or Big 12.

And there are also human dynamics too.
People aren’t going to do what’s worse for them and their family just to be “big ten” or “sec”

Obviously the money makes those two better for people for the most part. But there are a lot of factors.
Clemson is still a better job than Purdue.
Oklahoma state is still a better job than Mississippi state

68 Power Jobs give or take. Family, kids, spouse, ability to relate and recruit, familiarity, culture, they all play a big role in where to be.

Allen is going to Clemson from Penn State as it's close to his daughters who are in the Carolinas.
Kirk C. left here twice wanting to be out East.
Rutgers had gotten guys from here due to guys wanting to go back East.

Lincon Riley was an odd move IMO, but I think that USC was more a lure than avoiding the SEC.

Jobs in general are hard to come by and very competitive.

And with Texas losing, the SEC is done playing. Here's the wrap on B1G vs SEC:
  • The BIG ends up going 5-1 vs SEC in all bowl games
  • And 2-0 vs SEC in the playoff games.
  • The B1G won those playoff games vs the SEC by an average of 19.5 points.
  • The B1G advanced two teams to the semi-finals, the SEC one team.
  • The B1G has a team in the finals, the SEC doesn't
  • The SEC has a losing record in the playoffs, 2 wins (both by Texas) and 3 losses.
  • The BIG has a winning record in the playoffs, 5 wins and 3 losses (with one game left to play).
That's B1G domination.

In overall P4 conference records:
  • B1G goes 10-6 (so far). More wins than any other conference
  • SEC goes 8-7, barely a winning record.
  • ACC goes 2-11, are they really a P4 conference?
  • BIG 12 goes 4-5

That a Wrap on This Year's B1G Domination over the SEC

The fat lady has sung:
  • B1G goes 11-6 in bowl games. More wins than any other conference.
  • SEC goes 8-7, barely a winning record.
  • B1G with back-to-back national championships, from two different teams.
  • B1G has three times the number of teams ranked in the top 5 than the SEC (plus the B1G has four schools in the top 10).
  • B1G has three times the number of wins in the playoffs.
  • In the playoffs the BIG wins twice as many games as they lost, 6 wins and 3 losses.
  • And in the playoffs, the SEC has a losing record with only one team winning a game (2 wins, both by Texas, and 3 losses).
... and just to rub it in a bit more, the B1G ends up with five schools ranked higher than 'Bama.

College football rankings: Texas, Georgia, Miami lead way-too-early top 25 ahead of 2025 season

Wow the SEC proved nothing this year, but still has the greatest marketing in the sport. They have the top 2 spots (I get the hype around Arch Manning) and 10 of the top 25, compared to 5 schools for the B1G.

You can't say it is because the SEC has more talent - B1G has 9 of the top 25 schools to put kids into the NFL, while SEC has 9.

In the end the SEC capitalized on home field advantage and having the best program in the sport (alabama) for years. They are still living off that reputation. There is no way they should have almost double the number of schools the B1G does in top 25.

SEC is actually more of a Hoops Conference.

I am from Wisconsin - so, I never had any hate for Iowa. In fact, I used to like watching them on TV. You will also notice that Wisconsin is not on my cheering list. I am sure this has been posted before by others, but I grew up in Green Bay in the 80/90's. I can say pre-Alvarez, nobody in WI (outside of maybe Madison itself) watched or cared about the Badgers. The Badgers were not good and the people that left Green Bay to go to Madison either dropped out after having a drug addiction or becoming 'strange'. I don't think many Madison graduates ever came back to Green Bay due to lack of job opportunities. So, there was no love for Madison around me growing up. I think the most popular teams were Michigan and Florida State. It is really odd for me how Wisconsin fandom has evolved and I think it will go back to indifference soon for the non-UW graduates if this continues for a few more seasons for them.

I suppose being a ferry ride from the UP there would be a lot of Michigan fans at the time. Guessing Notre Dame was popular as well amongst the Catholics. Fandom is often fickled it can take a long time to build but a lot quicker to lose it as well.
