Now, the top four or five teams in the B1G and the SEC are very comparable. Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin can absolutely hang with the top of the SEC, and we’ve watched them do it time and time again.
The difference right now is when you start getting towards the bottom. If you take a middle of the pack B1G team like Michigan State, they’d get boat-raced off the field by a team like Mississippi State or Auburn.
It wasn’t always that way, but the bottom of the B1G isn’t very good right now. Even a team like Tennessee is better than an average B1G team, and we saw that last season when the Volunteers beat Indiana.

Birmingham , Alabama , Mayor Randall Woodfin wants football coaches to lead the charge when it comes to wearing a mask during the coronavirus pandemic .

( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) Woodfin thinks coaches have a huge role to play .
He told Paul Finebaum during a Wednesday interview , “ Put these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let them repeat these words : ‘ wear a damn mask if you want football to be played.
’ I guarantee the scope of this conversation will change.
” This is more or less the argument I ’ ve made since the start of the coronavirus pandemic .

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban , if he gave a statewide address and said football would be canceled if people didn ’ t wear masks .
Damn near the entire state would probably start wearing masks immediately .
The exact same can be said for Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin in Mississippi .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then LSU head coach Ed Orgeron , Saban and the rest of the coaches in the SEC need to start speaking up .
They might be the only men capable of getting people to listen in the south .

Maria Farmer told the Times she contacted both the New York Police Department and the FBI in 1996 about alleged molestation by Maxwell and Epstein. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation, and the Times noted that the FBI has not acknowledged that she contacted them.
Maria Farmer insists they would have record of this contact, since she was contacted by the FBI in 2006 when she lived in North Carolina.
FBI spokeswoman Tina Jagerson referred the DCNF to the bureau’s Thursday press conference and did not address questions about the Farmer sisters or the length of time it took for Maxwell to be arrested. The FBI declined to comment further.
The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF. (RELATED: Here’s The $1.07 Million New Hampshire House Where Ghislaine Maxwell Was Hiding Out)
Maria Farmer said she met Epstein at an art show and that he soon after called her to hire her to acquire art for him and then to be the manager of a townhouse he was renovating, according to the Times. Maria Farmer, who was 25 at the time, said she frequently saw young women coming in and out and was told by Maxwell that they were attending modeling auditions for Victoria’s Secret lingerie.
“They had a driver, and he would be driving along, and Ghislaine would say, ‘Get that girl,’” Maria Farmer told the Times. “And they’d stop, and she’d run out and get the girl and talk to her.”
Maria Farmer said that she often heard that Bill Clinton was coming to visit Epstein’s home, though she never saw him. She also described an incident wherein President Donald Trump came to Epstein’s office and eyed her legs before Epstein told him “she’s not for you.”
Both Trump and Clinton have said they knew Epstein. Clinton has denied knowledge of any improper behavior and Trump has said he was “not a fan” of Epstein. (RELATED: Here’s A List Of The Rich And Famous Caught In Photos With Ghislaine Maxwell)
Maria Farmer’s sister, Annie Farmer, told the Times that on one occasion, Epstein rubbed her hand and her leg during a movie when she was 16. He allegedly repeated this behavior when she stayed with him on his New Mexico ranch, where Annie Farmer says Maxwell gave her a topless massage and pressured her to give Epstein a foot massage. The 16-year-old also said that Epstein cuddled with her in bed one morning.
These allegations match the descriptions of Maxwell’s alleged abuses to Victim 2, detailed in the indictment.
Maria Farmer also told the Times that she was asked to give Epstein a foot massage at his Ohio estate before Epstein and Maxwell allegedly assaulted her by violently groping her until she fled and barricaded herself in a different part of the house.
The sisters spoke with one another about what had transpired, they told the Times, and when Maria Farmer returned to New York, she said Maxwell called her and threatened to burn all her artwork, telling the young painter that her career was over.
Maria Farmer said she reported the Ohio assault and the threat about the art to a New York police precinct, and that NYPD officers took a report on the threats of the art — a copy of which was obtained by the New York Times. The NYPD also referred Farmer to the FBI about the assault, the publication reports.
Heavily redacted FBI records appear to show handwritten notes from November 2006 interviews with both Maria and Annie Farmer, the Times reported. These notes include details such as Maria Farmer’s visit to the NYPD and her FBI referral.
Maria Farmer told the Times she talked to an agent at the FBI for about half an hour, asking whether she should call law enforcement in the states where the incidents had occurred. She says she was told it was up to her.
She told the Times she attempted to contact authorities in at least one other place but made no progress. She does not remember which jurisdiction it was.
The sisters also told their story to Vanity Fair reporter Vicky Ward in 2003 for an article on Epstein’s finances and his interest in young girls, but the article did not make any mention of the Farmer sisters, the Times reported. Ward said she did not include the sisters as she had not known “quite whom to believe” and her editor Graydon Carter said that the sources did not meet the Vanity Fair’s editorial standards.
Ward has since suggested on Twitter that Carter was pressured by Epstein, and former Vanity Fair contributing editor John Connolly said he remembered Carter discussing Epstein attempting to influence the article, the Times reported.
Maria Farmer said that Maxwell threatened her when word somehow got out that she and her sister had done the detailed interview.
“Better be careful and watch your back,” Maxwell allegedly told her. “I know you go to the West Side Highway all the time. While you’re out there, just be really careful because there are a lot of ways to die there.”
