6 in the top 30 for the Big Ten.

6 in the top 30 for the Big Ten.

B1G was the best conference top to bottom last year. Only 1 bowl loss as a conference (thanks to ttun lol).

I see another very decisive edge to the B1G as the strongest conference again this year. Maybe not the top team in the country when all the smoke clears, but the best conference overall.

5 big ten teams in the top 15 is awesome in my eyes.

I agree. Definitely the best conference top to bottom.
