The SEC is clearly the top conference right now, but life goes in cycles. The Big Ten may be able to catch the SEC one day, but it will be difficult. I think the offensive skill-position talent in the Big Ten is on par with the SEC. But the SEC has a big edge in defensive speed/talent along the defensive line. THAT’S the big difference between the two leagues. Chip Kelly marveled at the talent/speed/athletic ability of the Auburn d-line. Oregon had no answer, he said.

So basically why try? Good grief. I couldn’t disagree more. I hope Nebraska recruits and other BIG 10 recruits were not paying attention. Clearly, the BIG 10 is the best in many ways and is only getting better and stronger.
