The big ten is great until osu loses and everyone says they didn’t play anyone all year. But somehow all the other big ten teams are crushing in the bowl games.
Scheduling makes it basically impossible to actually know what conference is stronger.
Big ten and sec are clearly light years ahead, minus a team or two here and there, ie Miami, ND.
But….the proof is in the pudding. Watch the draft in April. Watch football on Sundays. It’s basically 50% sec/big ten players, and sec leads big ten in nfl players/draft picks.
