Also, I have a question for you guys....

I've seen the 40yd speed charts comparing Ohio State to Florida/LSU. And while Ohio State compares very evenly, if not better in most positions, how would you say that the rest of Big Ten compares to the rest of the SEC??

I'm not asking for you to break it down team by team w/ timed 40 charts, but just your opinions. Take Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and South Carolina and compare them to the 3rd-8th best teams in the Big Ten and give me an unbiased opinion on the speed issue.(or as unbiased as you can )

I personally haven't watched enough Big Ten Football to give an honest opinion. But it would be hard for me to imagine that after OSU, UM, and PSU that the Big Ten would compare evenly. I'm just saying that while your argument may be a good one for OSU, it may not be a good one for the conference as a whole.

I'd say right now as we speak in 2007 the mid to lower level B10 teams are not overall as athletic as the mid to lower level SEC teams. Thats not saying the teams are neccessarily that much better but if you lined them al up for a combine type of thing I think the SEC would have the edge.

I have no problem giving the SEC the nod for depth the past couple of years as long as I'm conversing with someone who understands its a cyclical thing and the B10 is just as good year in and year out.
