Big Ten Buckeye

Great website...

I am a Big Ten fan who years ago was finally willing to agree that the SEC has a slight edge over the Big Ten and other conferences during MOST years lately. I think they are a deeper conference and they are more skilled and more aggressive at the passing game.

I think the conferences are equal physically but I think the Big Ten focuses too much on physical play. If their coaches focused a little more on skill play I believe they could close the gap with the SEC.

One thing I wanted to point out to you about your facts...your own College Football Data Warehouse shows that the Big Ten has a 94-87-7 record vs. the SEC. Yet you have the SEC holding a 63-45-2 record over the Big Ten. Where are these stats coming from?

I also want to add that the SEC's advantage is minimal...you can go back 10 years in bowls and you will still find that the Big Ten and SEC are pretty much even. (That is with Ohio State losing all 3 of their games!) So, give some love to the other Big Ten teams (besides Mich, OSU and PSU) as they have held their own against your top notch conference.

Good Luck in your bowl games except against the Big Ten.
