I'm Back: Pac-10 Football Is Better Than SEC Football, Part 12

Now let me read your mind, SEC fans—you’re going to tell me, “Well, this is only at the skill positions, and what really kills teams is that speed on defense, especially at defensive end.  That’s what killed Ohio State.”

Well, I have some poison for your eyes.  Here are the results for the 40 times out of high school for starting defensive ends in both the Pac-10 and the SEC.

RE	40 Time	LE	40 Time
Bequette	4.85	Davis	4.50
Goggans	4.63	Coleman	4.88
Dunlap	4.60	Cunningham	4.90
Deaderick	5.00	Greenwood	4.80
Jarmon	4.85	Jenkins	4.70
Battle	4.70	Lomax	4.65
Matthews	4.70	Lindsey	4.70
Tillman	4.65	Lockett	4.80
Brown	4.85	Ayers	4.68
Stewart	4.69	Stone	4.80
Jackson	4.80	Pittman	4.60
Cooper	4.80	Bailey	4.90
AVERAGE	4.76	AVERAGE	4.74
RE	Time	LE	40 Time
Davis	4.90	Vasquez	4.89
Davis	4.70	Alualu	4.70
Bosworth	4.75	Blake	4.80
Griffen	4.56	Moore	4.73

Mattingly	4.90	Mullennix	4.65
Udofia	4.75	Egboh	4.80
Butler	4.60	Norris	4.53
Elmore	4.70	Reed	4.75
Reed	4.60	Tukuafu	4.85
AVERAGE	4.72	AVERAGE	4.74

Both SEC left ends and right ends are slower than Pac-10 in terms of average for the entire conference.  When it comes down to it, the Pac-10 is simply a faster league.

Go ahead, SEC fans, shower me with opinions and bias—but I just presented you with the facts.

The truth is that your league is inferior to the Pac-10 in every way.  I’ve heard it all, but hopefully I have shut all of you up once and for all.

I would appreciate if you wrote an article as a response.  I do not want to read some comment that took you five seconds to write with no facts in response to this article.

This is the best article that will ever be written on Bleacher Report: Treat it that way.
