The Big Ten over the weekend won 7 games and lost 3 (.700 win percentage). All 3 losses were to Non-Conference opponents including the face of the conference, Ohio State, getting drubbed 35-3 at USC. Michigan lost to a bad Notre Dame team, and Purdue blew a big lead against Oregon and lost in overtime.
In the wins, they really didn't look better. Minnesota escaped Montana State, Michigan State struggled to score against Florida Atlantic University, and Illinois won by merely 3 points agains Louisiana-Lafayette! Wisconsin only beat Fresno St. by 3 points, though Fresno St. is a ranked team.
Good conference? Not so much.
The Southeastern Conference won 8 games and lost 2 (.800 win percentage).
The two losses were both to SEC teams! The only teams who can beat the SEC are other SEC teams. Mississippi State battled hard in a 3-2 (not a misprint) loss to #10 Auburn and South Carolina stayed with #3 Georgia in a 14-7 loss.
#4 Florida was not even active this week. In the wins, the Conference handled their inferior opponents. LSU won by 38 points and played reserves most of the second half. Alabama won by 34 points, Tennessee won by 32 points, and Ole Miss won by 24. Even Vanderbilt won by 14! Vanderbilt!!
Good conference? Yes.
It is early, but the picture is beginning to show that the SEC once again is more awesome than the Big Ten. Let the tickets be sold!
