Quote:Got no dog in this fight, but if we're stacking titles, the titles earned before joining said conference should not be factored in.

 

There is a point to it, though. I don't count National Championships won before joining the Big Ten when discussing "Big Ten National Champions", but it is still important to list accomplishments by teams currently within the conference.

 

Let's say Alabama joined the Big Ten today and we didn't count past National Championships... Someone could say "The Pac 12 is a better because we have more National Championships in the past decade, 2 to 0". Nevermind the fact that the Big Ten would a team that won 3 of the past 4 championships.
