The big thing used to be the mighty SEC defenses, full of pro prospects.

In 2007, (I'm using the year of the BCS title game) Ohio State came in averaging 36 points per game and scored 14 vs. Florida.

In 2008 the Buckeyes came in at 32ppg and scored 24 vs. LSU.

In 2009 Oklahoma was averaging 54ppg, (and had scored 60+ five times in a row) and got 14 vs. Florida.

In 2010 Texas was averaging 41ppg and got 21 vs. Alabama, (admittedly Colt McCoy getting hurt on the first possession didn't help).

In 2011 Oregon was averaging 49ppg and got 19 vs. Auburn.

In 2012 they were both SEC teams. Alabama won in a shut-out over LSU, who'd been averaging 38 points a game. .

In 2013 Notre Dame was averaging 27ppg and got 14 vs. Alabama.

In 2014 Florida State was averaging 53ppg and got 34 vs. Auburn.

In 2015 Ohio State was averaging 45ppg and got 42 vs. Alabama

TCU came in averaging 47 and got 42 vs. Ole Miss

Georgia Tech came in averaging 37 and got 49 vs. Mississippi State

Wisconsin came in averaging 35ppg and got 34 vs. Auburn

Minnesota came in averaging 29 and got 17 vs. Missouri

Louisville came in averaging 33 points and scored 14 vs. Georgia

Notre Dame came in averaging 33 and scored 31 vs. LSU

Texas came in averaging 23 and got 7 vs. Arkansas

West Virginia came in averaging 28 and got 37 vs. Texas A&M

Miami cam in averaging 30 and got 21 vs. South Carolina

Iowa is averaging 30 and plays Tennessee today.

East Carolina is averaging 37 and plays Florida tomorrow.

On the whole I'd say that modern college offenses are catching up to SEC defenses.
