This is still a more than respectable Lloyd Carr record against the SEC of 5-2 which leads to the rocks, scissors, paper of SEC beats Ohio State, Jim Tressel beats Lloyd Carr and Carr beats the SEC.
Tressel, by the way, has a 4-2 record in BCS Bowls so his Ohio State teams do represent the Big Ten very well.

Ohio State Bowl History
Ohio State beat teams like Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Texas A&M. OSU played South Carolina two years in a row and that was pre-Spurrier era and lost both times. These are not even top programs year in and year out. Part of the reason the Big Ten gets crap is because OSU when they have had success cannot beat one SEC team. Michigan has historically has beaten up on the SEC even before Carr was a coach. If we are going to talk about domination, I have a name for you, John Cooper. How did that work out for you?
