The B1G's problem is the middle and bottom of the league. Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers are glorified MAC teams. The middle of the league; Minnesota, Penn St., Northwestern, Iowa is blah at best.
Maryland and Rutgers may be ok teams in the future, with the additional $ they are bringing in and some good in state recruiting possible
Minny has gotten better every year, and NW looks pretty good this year (2 weeks in of course).
To be great, you need 2-3 top 10 caliber teams, and 2-3 more who are top 25 or right there (5 total)

I think the biggest difference between the B1G and SEC are those middle and bottom teams though. Look at SEC West schedules. There are no 4 game stretches vs. Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Rutgers. You're playing 4 weeks in a row at Texas A&M, vs. Auburn, at Ole Miss, vs. LSU, etc. Multiple games in a row against big, athletic teams in front of large, fired up crowds. I don't think there is any doubt Ohio St. has the advantage of being fresher come bowl season. SEC teams, especially west, get beaten up pretty badly throughout the season.
