I tire very quickly of the Big Ten Boosters on EVERY board known to man extolling the virtues of Big 10 football and how it's the best in the country.
All you have to do is look at a list of National Champions from 1970 until the present to see which conferences play the best ball. Ohio State winning a couple of years back was basically a freak accident and I'm an Ohio State fan having lived in Columbus when I was a kid!
Watching Big Ten football is like watching the SEC, Big 12 and Pac 10 football in slow motion!
