I agree comparing conferences is pretty impossible, but the fact remains that there is no comparing anything to SEC football. It always has Top 10 teams and is perennially deep, this year being no exception.
"Rough parity" is ridiculous to me....... The Big 10 has 1.5 ranked teams right now (Michigan in one poll and Penn State in one poll) while the SEC has 7, 4 of which are in the Top 14 in BOTH polls. I understand rankings are not all that important and are based on perception, but you can't even begin to remotely compare these conferences (which no one else seems to be doing but you).
If you want to counter with OSU being #1 and want extra points for that, it's just not happening since Florida pasted and embarrassed them in the last year's championship game (a healthy Ginn would not have mattered since Smith was on his back all game or running for his life). Also, Skins makes some great points about how awful the Big 10 is in BCS games as opposed to the SEC results.
