Quote:....did someone just mention the Big East?

 

Isn't that conference dead in college football?

 

In the BCS era, the Big 10 may have a better bowl and title record. However, recently, the Big 10 has been pretty weak and the ACC is on the rise.

 

All that being said, the SEC and PAC 12, on the whole, are still the best conferences year in and year out. 

 

The Big 10 has OSU and Michigan regularly at the top. Michigan ST, Wisconsin, Nebraska, are usually pretty good to above average, the rest of the conference is usually forgettable. 

 

The ACC is gaining Louisville (who is losing Teddy so we'll see if they flounder) and has Florida ST regularly at the top, with Miami hit or miss and Clemson being pretty good recently, but another team that we have to wait and see if they can keep it going through change. Duke was a surprise this year... And the majority of the ACC is just like the bottom of the Big 10 most years, pretty forgettable.

 

I guess what I'm getting at is... why are you even arguing. Between the two conferences, in the BCS era (98-2013), they have 4 national titles (3 ACC and 1 Big 10)

Big 12 has 2, PAC 12 has 1 (vacated) and a shared championship with LSU, and the SEC has the rest.

 

you can argue bowl games all you want... but if you're not first you're last.
