Big East Proves Three Times Tougher Than Big Ten
Despite disparaging Big Least claims by critics, the Big East is proving to be the toughest conference in Division 1A NCAA football. That shouldn't prove surprising following commanding performances by league members Louisville, West Virginia, Rutgers, South Florida and others.
Before you argue with the claim that the Big East is the toughest conference in college football, consider the facts. Big East teams claim a 1.000 winning percentage in 2007 bowl games, while (remove hats please) Southeastern Conference members can claim only a .625 (5-3) record.
The Big Ten? Members of the once-vaunted football conference have managed to win only two of six games, giving the league a paltry .333 winning percentage.
No other league, in fact, even comes close. Atlantic Coast Conference teams boast only a .500 winning record (4-4), the same goes for Pac 10 teams. As for the Big 12, don't even think about it. The conference owns only a 3-5 record (.375 winning percentage).
However you wish to slice it, the Big East has proven to be 2007's premier football conference.
