Redman’s Ramblings: SEC Can’t Compete With Big Ten
College football fans, don’t panic. I know what I’m saying might be considered heresy, but I believe the Big Ten Conference is better than the Southeastern Conference (SEC) this year.
Before you write me off by saying I’m just some kid from the Midwest with a regional bias, you should know I have a foot in both camps. I was raised as a fan of both Louisiana State University and Wisconsin. Yes, week one was painful.
First, Alabama is clearly the best team in the country; Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide rolled over a ranked USC team on a neutral site. Alabama outscored the Trojans 52-3 in the last 45 minutes. However, after the Tide, the SEC drops off where the Big Ten doesn’t.
