Watching Ohio State get absolutely trounced in the BCS championship game the last two years should have showed all college football fans the true path. The Big-Ten is overrated.
Wherever you look every Big-Ten team is getting trounced by SEC and Pac-10 squads. Michigan losing to Oregon (and App State). Illionois' loss to USC in the Rose Bowl was an insult to college football. Illinois was selected because the Rose Bowl is traditionally Pac-10 vs Big Ten, not because they were the best team for the job. Heck Ron Zook is an SEC reject.
A recent poll on MSNBC.com shows how ignorant fans still are. The Big-Ten garnered third best overall conference beating out the Pac-10 and Big East and ACC. I would take teams like West Virigina, USC (Who will be playing Ohio State Sept. 13th), Rutgers, Clemson and V-Tech maybe even Wake Forest and over any team in the Big-Ten. And oh ya, they have their own TV network. The Big Ten Sucks.

You really have a thing against the Big-10, don't you. I tend to agree with you, but it's difficult to totally ignore a conference that's won 28 national championships, which is just as many as the SEC has. To be fair, of course, the Big 10 basically stopped winning championships after 1980: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Big_Ten_National_Championships#Football_.2828.29
