    I'm not one who degrades any team or conference, nor do I try to make a case about the SEC being the strongest. I'll just go with Sports Illustrated rating us as the nation's strongest.

    I lived in Big Ten country (Chicago) for 16 years after going to Alabama and became a Midwesterner in the process. Although I battled Big Ten fans about which conference and teams were the strongest, the Big Ten is still my second favorite conference, primarily because I blended in with the people in Big Ten Country better than anywhere I've ever lived.

    I have a U of A professor buddy who got his doctorate at Iowa, before being hired by Alabama. He soon became as much of a Tide fine as I always have been and hopes that AL and Iowa never play each other. When he saw his first Bama game, he understood why the SEC claimed to be the strongest.

    You're coming across as a Big Ten fan that hasn't yet come to terms with the strength of the SEC, that took many years for the rest of the nation to ever recognize. What I would like you to surprise me with, in a well written article and not just you opinion, is explaining why the SEC is not the nation's strongest conference.
