Nick Saban is right :
A decade is certainly a proper period to compare two now so-called BCS Conferences :
Three (3) of the Top 10 football programs over the last entire decade are SEC programs and only two (2) are Big Ten (11) as anyone might have guessed without studying the facts.
Directly behind those programs over the last decade are yet two (2) more SEC programs in the Top 25 to again only one (1) more Big Ten (11) program :

Number 1 for the Big Ten is # 3 overall Ohio State at 97-28.
Number 1 for The SEC is # 4 overall Georgia at 96-30.
How it breaks down :
Tied for 2nd and 3rd Ohio State with 97 wins.
Tied for 4th through 6th are Georgia and Michigan with 96 wins.
Tied for 8th through 11th are both Tennessee and Florida with 94 wins.
That’s the Top 10 programs over the last decade.
3 SEC led by Georgia BuLLdawgs 96 wins.
2 Big Ten (11) led by Ohio State 97 wins.
Clearly, The SEC leads the way with three (3) Top 10 programs over the last entire decade compared to only two (2) Big Ten (11) programs.
In the Top 25 over the last entire decade :
SEC 5 : UGA (#4) vols (#8) Florida (#8) LSU ((#17-86 wins) Auburn (#18-84 wins)
So, of the Top 18 football winningest football programs over the last entire decade, five (5) are SEC football programs, as everyone including Nick Saban already knew without study.
Only Wisconsin (#13-89 wins) is in the Top 25 besides Ohio State (#3-97 wins) and Michigan (#4-96 wins) for the Big 10 by direct comparison thereto the 5 SEC programs in the Top 18.
Big Ten (11) has therefore 3 programs in the Top 25 programs in America over the last entire decade while The SEC has five (5) in the Top 18 over the last entire decade of winningest football programs.
Last time I looked 3 Big Ten compared to 5 SEC, is the Big Ten (11) has 60% of The SEC’s 5 with the Big 10’s three of The SEC’s five Top 25 football programs.
You can continue on, however, as Nick Saban’s statements as a former Head Coach of Michigan State before seeing The Light and joining the rest of us down here in the Sun Belt (Bible Belt), are deeper than just that five of The SEC are in the Top 18 football programs in America over the last entire decade compared directly thereto only forty percent less of three of the Big 10 in the Top 25.
5 of the Top 19 SEC over the last decade of winningest football programs.
3 of the Top 25 Big 10 over the last decade of winningest football programs.
(We don’t need to discuss that The Top Football Program in the Top Football Conference, Georgia, has not lost to the Big 10 in Fifty (50) Years.)
(Undefeated BuLLdawgs 7-0 over Big 10 since October 5, 1957 in Ann Arbor.)
(Nor do we have to discuss that only UGA has been ranked in every one of the Final AP Polls over this entire full complete decade to-date and counting, of all football programs period.)
All we have to say in The SEC to defend the statements of Les Miles and Nick Saban, is that there are one-third fewer Big 10 winningest football programs in the Top 10 over the last entire decade than there are SEC programs. And, there are forty percent fewer Big 10 winningest football programs in the Top 25 over the last entire decade than there are SEC programs.
That is a significant difference of the Top Football Winningest Programs over the Last Entire Decade that The SEC enjoys over the Big 10 today. Never mind the dominance of The SEC over The Big 10 head-to-head.
So, if Les Miles (Michigan Big 10 graduate and served a decade on Michigan’s football coaching staff) and Nick Saban (former head coach at Michigan State Big 10) both want to state that they now coach in The SEC because The SEC has more of the best football programs in America today, well by God, they are both correct.
The SEC leads the nation in BCS National Championships period.
In addition :
The SEC leads the nation in Ranked Teams every year in the Final AP Poll.
The SEC leads the nation in NFL football players and always has.
The SEC leads the nation in attendance every year for the last 26 consecutive years.
The SEC leads the nation in football recruiting rankings every single year too.
There is no comparison between the Big 10 and The SEC in football, unless of course both former Big 10 coaches, now in The SEC are both wrong that all these facts are self-evident.
Now, one area the North does have an advantage on one would think is that in the Megalopolis there are far more people (fewer in number who go to Big 10 games than SEC attendance) who should have therefore far more football recruits and therefore more in the NFL – only it ain’t so. And, as a direct result thereof, there are always more SEC football programs ranked in the Final AP Poll than the Big Ten (11). And, over the last entire decade, more SEC BCS National Championships than every other single Conference.
Unless of course, 40 percent fewer Top 10 winningest Big 10 football programs over the last entire decade than The SEC or 33 percent fewer Top 25 winningest Big 10 football programs can be argued somehow unknown by me to be somehow therefore better ?
I’ll await that answer ?
So, where does this leave the Industrial North better than The Rural South ?
