The Big Ten has turned it up a notch over the last few years. After a dominant run by the SEC, the Big Ten has won the last three College Football Playoff championships. When matched up against other top conferences, the Big Ten has handled them. It is the right time for USC to join the party.
In a recent article, Phil Harrison puts on display Urban Meyer’s thoughts on where the Big Ten is now in comparison to the SEC. Here is what he had to say:
“You have to give Penn State credit. They got real serious. The Wolverines got real serious. Other teams in that conference got real serious,” Meyer continued. “You go in there now with Big Noon, and some of these environments are fantastic. Go ask how the boys are doing in Bloomington, Indiana. They got real serious about the game of football. Illinois, they got real serious. They hired the right guy. They got really good players and they’re beating SEC teams in a bowl game. I think the Big Ten, and there’s a lot of credit to go around to the ADs, the administrators, etc. the Big Ten got real serious about the game of football.”
More than ever, the Big Ten has etched itself as the superior conference in college football. The competition is as tough as it has ever been in the conference. If USC can get as serious as their counterparts, they could have the same results very soon. If USC can win in the Big Ten, there is no doubt they can win a national title.
