All-Americans Bama-6 entire Big Ten-1

[Chi_archie]

how is the big ten ever gonna compete?

would a big-ten all conference team beat Alabama?

[Chi_archie]

coincidently, big ten also announces today that it will look into getting a 12th member of the conference so they can have a conference title game

[ZBOIZ]

They should add Cinncy

[Chi_archie]

I think they want to go east, like they did with PSU.... broaden their real-estate.... Ideally they would have got Notre Dame, but that won't happen with their TV deal

[Chi_archie]

invite Boise St

[tltaylor89]

its all about exposure

[Todd2122]

It is hard to divide the Big Ten. Do you split up the Michigan-OSU rivalry? If you keep them in the same division, isn't the other division a lot weaker? East-West doesn't work because you have Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State in the same division. Do you go North-South splitting them up? Although meaningless lately, that game is a classic and historically has had Big Ten Championship implications almost every year.

[hostile takeover]

Big Ten = Boring = naptime

[The Seer]

its all about exposure

nah, there will be alot more players drafted out of the SEC in this years draft

[The Seer]

it was said by NFL GMs that there were 22 players that would be in NFL camps next yr that played in the LSU-Bama game alone

[Chi_archie]

I took Taylor's exposure comment, to refer to the fact that the big ten is seeking more exposure by finding a good team to join the big 10. and/or that the big ten has been sucking lately because it is clear to recruits that the Big Ten is no-where near a top conference

[Chi_archie]

Seriously though, I'd love to see Boise St. join the big ten...

[onthewhat]

Big Ten is not good because of weather

FL, TX, CA kids are not going to play in the fukkin 20 degree whore shit

They will stay and play in the 70 degree temps and also where the girls are at

[daneblazer]

It's the population shift from the midwest to the southeast and west. Less good recruits in the midwest now and most of the good ones would rather go to the SEC/Big 12/Pac 10

[BadNina]

I think the SEC tv deals with both CBS and ESPN helps them with recruits. What high school player wouldn't want to be on nationally televised games?

[AlphaOmega]

SEC is an over rated confrence i hate when an espn gamecast is on and Jesse Palmer compares whatever team's defense is playing as "wow they look like an SEC Defense . . ." or some shit like that

but yeah big10 is pathetic

[Deuce]

I know the Big 10 quite well, basically down the past few years. If Iowa, Penn St, Wisky, Michigan, OH St, all were rockin' this conference would be much different. Michigan St., Minne, also not far behind. Now too far away from all of these teams being great.

Brandon Graham should have been 1st team as well. Guy is solid. Look for Iowa St. perhaps to be looked over.

[The Seer]

SEC is an over rated confrence

lol, let's see how they do in the bowls again this year, I will take the SEC and you pick any other conference. Checkout the last few NFL drafts and see where the majority of the players come from. I think you're just hating.

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

would a big ten all-star team beat the crimson tide? well not if it happened right now, where the big ten guys get one week to prepare vs a bama team that has been together for years. but talent wise, I'd still have to give an edge to alabama I bet there are some 2nd and 3rd stringers and even redshirts that could have started and done very well for indiana, northwestern, or michigan this year.

Without a doubt Big 10 All Conference team would easily beat Bama. Easy.

Adrian Clayborn, Iowa Line
Brandon Graham, Michigan Line
Jared Odrick, Penn State Line
O'Brien Schofield, Wisconsin Line
Pat Angerer, Iowa Linebacker
Greg Jones, Michigan State Linebacker
Navorro Bowman, Penn State Linebacker
Tyler Sash, Iowa Defensive Back
Amari Spievey, Iowa Defensive Back
Brad Phillips, Northwestern Defensive Back
Kurt Coleman, Ohio State Defensive Back

Zoltan Mesko, Michigan Punter

Honestly that team is stacked. Be lucky to kick a FG

[iceminers26]

Cincy has to be the #1 pick for this situation, prime location and a good program, but would Cincy turn down the B10 to stay in the Big East?

Rumor is Iowa St. since Iowa is already in having another in conference Rivalry to spark would be nice. Only thing holding them back is the lack of a basketball team.

[hawk 5]

HoulihanTX has Iowa playing Texas for the National Championship, so fuk you Big Ten haters.

Not following, Iowa St has a descent basketball squad that plays in the B12 and beat Iowa last week.

[daneblazer]

Boston College makes sense from an academic standpoint, but they are already out of place in the ACC.

[titleist1604]

they should pick up pittsburg

[moodyt2]

big 10 does suck.

[Chi_archie]

can the Big Ten ever regain their prior status? doubtful...... they even got a guy like Terrell Prior that every college football and basketball program in the US wanted.... and turned him into a boring dissapointment

[Mr. Peepers]

John Clay wisco RB would be top 3 RBs in the SEC....fo sho

[jaytee20]

John Kelly does radio shows in Las Vegas. He graduated from Northwestern. His 'rule': if Northwestern is any good, the Big 10 stinks that year. Since Nwstrn is in one of these crummy bowls, we have a study.

Because Northwestern and Penn State have been traditional basketball powers?

[Kustac]

I don't follow the comments in this thread and others about the SEC being over rated, the majority of years the SEC is the strongest conference top to bottom, look at bowl game records and then look at what place that team is in the SEC vs the other conference, for example I think the Chick Fil Peach Bowl turns out to be the 5th SEC team vs. the 3rd ACC team right? and the SEC still wins at least half of these match ups even playing higher placed teams in other conferences

[BoiseBlue]

The SEC is overrated the Pac10 is better. Also I would love for Boise State to join the Big10 but I doubt it happens. Big10 will probable get Boston College or Rutgers

(Buzzer Sound) Sorry Boise but that's incorrect and you provided not a single piece of evidence to support your opinion. Take a look at what I'm saying, in the bottom bowls for the SEC teams who placed 6 - 10 in the SEC they will be playing bowl games against teams who placed 1-5 in their conferences and the SEC still comes out ahead, I think this makes my point. The Pac10 would lose this year or even the last several years if you lined the conferences SEC vs. PAC10 up and played head to head from top to bottom.

[jram68]

moron

how is the big ten ever gonna compete?

would a big-ten all conference team beat Alabama?

least informative thread this week
