Its all well and good to proclaim the SEC better than the Big 10 based on the top 25 or top 50 rankings because that is when it is true. But look at the spreadsheet even posted here: College Football Win-Loss Record.

From it we see, 0 SEC teams in the top 5 vs 2 for the Big Ten. 2 in the top ten vs 3 for for the Big Ten with Penn State still ahead of Tennessee. So while this being an SEC website is it convenient to argue in favor of the SEC, anyone can skew stats to reflect their personal opinions.
