Chubb at GA
-
Why is Vandy even a member of the SEC?
Just to up the collective GPA of the SEC... like Northwestern for the Big Ten.

I live in a tri- state area. The Georgia state line is 11 miles from the house. As the bird flies, Alabama is maybe 20 miles over Lookout Mountain. As such, you see a lot of different hats when in a sports bar, thus, I was very aware of Nick.
You see a lot of different games, but you are always going to see the Vols, Bulldogs, and the Tide.

SEC territory. That's the big boys' conference.

Yeah... I'm not sure what Bill saw in Sony Michel.. Nice back.. But Chubb is the best back in the biz right now.. Zeke Elliott is pretty good but can't stay on the field or he's too doped up like Ricky Williams..
Chubb came off a nasty knee injury. I never actually saw it before researching it now. It’s not for the feint of heart to see, while coming after the play AND out of bounds.
Probably the main reason he wasn’t a 1st rounder. What a selection by Dorsey, anyhow.

Not many backs go in the 1st round these days. A lot of very good backs go in the 2nd and 3rd. Only 1 back went in the 1st round this year, with the last pick in the 1st. And only one RB went in the 1st in 2019.

Except that the Big Ten Conference academic wise is considered quite long way ahead of the SEC, though the Pac 12 has a good Academic Reputation. Just for shits and giggles, I looked up where the schools in each of those 3 conferences rated on a World Wide basis of respected academic institutions, and here are those world wide rankings, color coded based on conference. Blue for Pac 12, Red for Big Ten, Green for SEC
4. Stanford
13. Cal-Berkely
17. UCLA
21. Michigan
22. Northwestern
48. Illinois
51. Wisconsin
62. USC
70. Ohio State
78. Penn St.
79. Minnesota
84. Michigan St.
88. Purdue
91. Maryland
104. Arizona
116. Vanderbilt
124. Colorado
130. Washington
134. Indiana
155. Arizona St.
168. Rutgers
175. Florida
178. Texas A&M
Between 201 and 250: Iowa, Utah
Between 251-300: Oregon
Between 301 and 250: Tennessee
Between 351 and 400: Oregon St. and Washington St.
Between 401 and 500: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Nebraska
Not rated in the top 500: Auburn, Mississippi, Miss. St., LSU, Arkansas,

Well....the Big 12 didn't fare any better, honestly. Here are the rankings for those schools:
38. Texas
351-400 Iowa St.
401-500: Kansas, OK Stl
Over 500: Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, West Va. Kansas St.
The Final P-5 Conference, the ACC does much better:
20. Duke
38. Georgia Tech
54. North Carolina
107. Virginia
115. Pitt
201-250: Miami, Wake Forest, Va. Tech
251-300: Florida St. Syracuse;
301-350: Boston College, NC St.
Over 500: Clemson, Louisville
Honestly though, I have to take this ranking with a grain of salt. It seems very Eurocentric, and I don't know if they have a clue about American schools.

I've seen various ratings like this in the past no big surprise and. GO BIG TEN !
Now I wouldn't want to make a run against the IVY LEAGUE on the books.
Nice too that Ohio State is up there with Alabama in football talent on the field.

Ok, cool. If I am looking for a MD, I am probably looking towards Duke, Stanford, or one of the Ivey's. If I am looking for a football player, I am checking the SEC first.
This takes a genius to figure out?
I graduated from Florida Law. It has a good reputation. To be honest, I am not sure I like your tone.
Just saying
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Yea but the SEC grades well in caving northern conferences faces in playing football.

The question had to do with Vanderbilt being in the SEC where Dutch said that it was there to "bring up the GPA" of the conference, just as Northwestern is in the Big Ten to bring up its "GPA".....so I started checking out the data......and the above is what I found. I did not know what the result of the data was going to be, (though honestly I did suspect that the Big 10 would rank out higher overall). But I did just give the data. So don't blame me....blame the data. (note I also said that you may have to take these rankings...and all rankings of this sort... with a grain of salt).
And I am aware that FLA. law has a good rep. (almost as good as Cleveland-Marshall...
(actually....US News and World Report ranks Fla. at #48, CSU at #106)

(as for a Doctor...I would reccommend Johns Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine.

Northern conferences? You mean like the MAC or the Missouri Valley conference? You are probably right there.
OK, the top SEC team is playing the top big 10 team, what are the odds SEC tops them?

I believe that the SEC has a different set of standards when it comes to grades and football players than most other conferences.
Top SEC versus B10 I'd go with the B10 over the SEC and most P5 schools.

The Top Team in the Big Ten is THE Ohio State University. I would give them a 50/50 chance against any team in the nation, SEC or otherwise.
You asked what I thought would happen if the Top Big Ten Team would play the Top SEC team....not what did happen in the past. (If that is what you wanted, you should have framed your question differently) I asumed you were talking going forward. I will take my chances on Ohio State at 50/50 any time.

Recent history says you are wrong. OSU losses to top SEC teams is the the norm. OSU beats the weak big 10 teams and what happens when they face the Alabamas of the world? They get their chicklets knocked out. Frame that question.

Except of course they beat Alabama the last two times they played them including in the CFP
