Legendary coach Urban Meyer has delivered a massive take on the Ohio State Buckeyes heading into their Cotton Bowl matchup against the Texas Longhorns.

The Buckeyes eventually won by a 20-point margin, finishing the game up 41-21. It was a monster effort from wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and quarterback Will Howard. The defense stood strong consistently as well.

The question is, is the SEC’s dominance over? It is. It’s over,” Meyer said in Saturday’s The Triple Option podcast. “Now next year’s another year.

On the offensive end, the Buckeyes have a reliable starting quarterback in Will Howard who's aided by one of the best true freshman wide receivers in college football history, Jeremiah Smith. The wideout has 70 receptions for 1,224 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said the SEC's reign is over, signaling a change at the top of college football's Power Four conferences:

Ohio State entered the College Football Playoff coming off a devastating loss to Michigan. The 13-10 loss against the Wolverines on Nov. 30 was the fourth-straight for the Buckeyes against their biggest rival and cranked the heat on head coach Ryan Day up to nuclear levels.

During Urban Meyer's run in the Southeastern Conference as the head coach of the Florida Gators, he reignited the program in Gainesville over a five-year stretch. Now, the Fox Sports analyst believes the conference's run of dominance has reached its end as the new era of college football takes over.
