Everybody Stay Calm, ESPN just confirmed the Big Ten is better than the SEC

quote:

Essentially the premise was this: If you had to craft a 22-man roster of active NFL players but could only pull from a single college football conference, which conference would it be? The answer, as it turns out, was a resounding Big Ten, laying to rest the long-running SEC vs. Big Ten blood feud once and for all. And even if that’s not remotely true, you have to admit that is one hell of a roster, especially when compared to the second-place SEC.


quote:

It’s not even close. Russell over Dak eight days a week. George Kittle vs. Jared Cook is the biggest beatdown we’ve seen since Tyson vs Lewis. The Bosa bros or an aging Von Miller and a guy whose biggest NFL accomplishment is taking off his helmet and hitting someone with it a la Happy Gilmore’s skate is a hypothetical that would get you laughed right out of the local Buffalo Wild Wings


quote:

So go ahead, tag the SEC fan in your life, or whatever the hell the kids are doing these days. This Civil War's Gettysburg won’t be here until January, but until then, the bragging rights belong to the boys from up north.


I'll still take the SEC!!!!!

Perhaps... But at least it's football-related finally and probably something we will all agree on.

The only people that care about conference comparisons are fan bases of other conferences. Such little man syndrome it's hysterical. I can't have a conversation with more the UT fans here without them getting in a dig lol

From 2016-2020 the Big Ten scored a grand total of 23 points in the College Football Playoff.

Right now ESPN has zero credibility, about anything, as politics dominates its continued existence. While there may be little political about this article, it no longer has my trust in anything it puts out for public consumption.

The experts who picked these.... (Looks at all the Big 10 graduates.)

Andrea Adalson - University of Florida (SEC). Last 5 years covered the ACC.

Matt Bowen - University of Iowa (Big 10) played football.
Born in Illinois (Big 10).

Courtney Cronin - University of Indiana (Big 10). Lives in Minnesota (Big 10). Spent 3 years covering SEC.

Turron Davenport - University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League) but in the Big 10 footprint. Former Featured Columnist of University of Maryland football (Big 10).

Jeff Legwold - University of Illinois (Big 10). Covered Big 10 football and basketball before going to the NFL.

Adam Rittenberg - Northwestern University (Big 10). A blogger and sports journalist for ESPN's college football section dedicated to the Big 10 Conference.

Mike Triplett - University of Iowa (Big 10). Covered LSU (SEC) during the Saban national championship and, presently, the Saints.

Jake Trotter - Washington & Lee University in Virginia (ACC footprint). Football is Division III. Spent 8 years covering Oklahoma and Big 12 sports before moving to NFL.

Field Yates - Wesleyan University, Connecticut. A native of Weston, Mass, close to the Big 10 footprint. He covers the NFL.

quote:

Each of our nine panelists (Andrea Adelson, Matt Bowen, Courtney Cronin, Turron Davenport, Jeff Legwold, Adam Rittenberg, Mike Triplett, Jake Trotter and Field Yates) voted to rank them No. 1 through No. 6.

The result? A big win for the Big Ten.

They have Von Miller for the SEC starters, but Von never played in the SEC.

Are we only taking current players or all time players?

ESPN also let that rainbow haired commie Rapinoe do a segment on BLM so I’m not 1000% sure they know what they’re talking about

Dog shite article. The big 10 is better at QB and TE. No where else.
