rsvman2 I'd still take the best SEC teams vs. best B1G teams ....but the top 3 in Indiana, Ohio St, and Oregon are rock solid. Oregon more of an outlier in that I don't trust them. Iowa played good teams tough. Don't trust Michigan, or USC. After that you have Illinois had a decent year and spent some time in the top 25, played a solid schedule. Minnesota.and Washington both played a cupcake of cupcakes schedule yet barely managed to be above .500 in conference.....and Washington and Illinois both lost to a very bad Wisconsin team. I'd take the SEC with 7 teams in the top 15 and take my chances. After those teams the B1G is weak and I'd throw Washington and Minnesota into that category too. Don't know enough about Missouri, Tennessee, and LSU but I'd still take them sight unseen over Illinois, Washington, and Minnesota, the last two for sure, heck I'd take just about any SEC school over them, less Arkansas.
Doesn't mean much anymore anyways with how stupid and big the conferences are and unbalanced.
