So he needs a step up in competition?

I wouldn't call the Big 10 a step up. It's no better than the ACC.

I think they've won 7 more BCS games than the ACC's 1 that they got this year. They also have a BCS championship (albeit the horseshit game against Miami) and a few blow out appearances in the title game. It's better, but not by much.

I know he couldn't go SEC,but the Big 12 is a helluva lot stronger than the Big 10/ACC. That certainly would have been a step up in competition. The Big 10 is just going from weak to weak IMO.
