B1G statement: Big Ten staking claim as best conference

The Big Ten has a playoff spot locked up as its title game functions as a national championship quarterfinal. It is the main event this championship weekend, the only matchup of top-5 teams. The SEC's undercard bout of Alabama and Florida, meanwhile, might be best stopped in the first round.


"It's the dreams of the players and the coaches to be in games like this," Delany told ESPN.com. "It's a high-energy, high-profile, high-impact game."

Big Ten teams occupy the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 spots in the CFP selection committee rankings. The Big Ten has five teams in the CFP's top 15; no other league has more than three. If certain things go batty in championship games elsewhere, the Big Ten could become the first league with multiple participants in the playoff. Ohio State, at No. 6, the defending national champion that finally looked the part against No. 15 Michigan, hopes for a chance to repeat.

"It's a statement for college football in this conference," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said.

I just saw and read this article and was wondering the same thing! It's a very good article too and actually talks about how the B1G is the best conference overall this year.

 
Paul Finebaum actually said out loud the Big Ten was the best league this year. He prefaced that sentiment with how much it pained him to say.

 
I think whoever plays MSU in the CFP will have a hard time scoring points. B1G defense = SEC > (all other conferences)
