IS THE B1G NOW MORE EXCITING/INTERESTING THAN THE SEC?

[phillyflyers]

Seems like it today.

 

[ttwarrior1]

this year, yes

 

[phillyflyers]

this year, yes

Might be this year and every year from now on.

PSU
MICH
OSU
MICH ST.
OREGON
NEBRASKA
USC
WASHINGTON

That's a lot of big guns and a lot of history.

 

[jjgold]

It’s close but big 10 gets nod

 

[phillyflyers]

Today has been unbelievable for B1G.

PSU/USC and now ORE/OSU.

Tremendous day for the B1G.

 

[aikman.tr]

These coast to coast mix of teams give the books more fluid action. A good 16 hours. The kids must be exhausted after the multiple 6 hour flights a few days apart.

 

[209life]

Ohio St been Oregon's whipping boy lately.

 

[fishhead]

BIG TEN greatest football conference all-time and not remotely close.

 

[phillyflyers]

Big Ten much better this year vs. SEC.

Confirmed.

 

[jjgold]

Huh?

B1G has 3 out of the top 4 spots in the rankings.

B1G clearly #1.

Had 4 of top 5

Even though Indiana gone now and Penn State obviously is a fraud

Oregon and Ohio State are for sure the two best teams though

Would be interesting to see a head to head matchup with Georgia.

Soon to be the Crimson Tide fans talking about the Saban days.

Has any program in history been historically so good - came crashing down harder and then rose back up only to repeat the fall so quickly than ‘Bama ?

Maybe USC ?

Notre Dame was as high - but didn’t have such a downfall - just kinda stuck in mediocrity.

Nobody else had such a run of dominance as ‘Bama with Bryant - then the wheels just started falling in the early 90s before Saban saved them.

Now that everyone’s able to pay everyone and transfer portal is an option - suddenly they are struggling. Big10 schools have the donors to compete and being able to give transfers immediate starting jobs and the opportunity to play in meaningful games throughout November and NFL level coordinators is a big boost.

B10 has better teams at the top compared to SEC but SEC has better mid to bottom teams than B10.

As an overall conference, top to bottom, I’d give nod to SEC.

We are trained to believe the SEC mid/bottom tier teams are good

Reality is they’re not this year, or at least compared to the Big Ten

LMAO. This is funny.

I'm thinking this is kind of like someone being so "trained" in their opinion in regards to one conference, even data won't convince them they are wrong. But, I'll try.

Its not even close......

	SEC	B10
Avg FPI Rating	13.9	7.6
Avg SP+ Rating	13.1	7.2

Queue the..... "Ratings don't me crap" reply....

How about watching the games and evaluating the teams one by one?

Line the conferences up, I’ll take the Big Ten in more match ups than not

SP+ and FPI aren’t exactly perfect ratings
