I think the Pac12 already has the best set of coaches

Better then the SEC? Saban, Miles, and Chizik in the West along with Richt and Spurrier in the east is salty. Those 5 alone are enough to make anyone blush. And if we are talking about density of good coaches then the SEC West is by far the best division for coaches in football. And it was untouchable when Petrino was there.

did the big ten have anyone like OK State or OU? baylor could have won that conference, plus west virginia and tcu are coming?
below the top teams the B1G has the edge, but who cares at that point?

I love all this talk of population shift yet the Midwest still produces a ton of athletes in many different sports

Until the Big Ten turns a blind eye to academics the Big 12 will have an edge. The kids from PA that now play in the NFL but did not play in the Big Ten (or SEC) is pretty impressive
Lesean McCoy, Larry Fitzgerald, Darell Reavis all academic risks that landed at Pitt

The SEC has more proven coaches but the Pac12 coaches are going to be better going forward

i hate pitt with every fiber in my body but this statement is beyond ridiculous
Pitt is one of the best universities in the country
Teams backed off Shady b/c he got hurt and only Pitt would still give him a scolly
Revis a home town guy
Fitz did go to prep school but still made good grades

Depends on who Arkansas gets. Pinkel has some wins under his belt as well. Mullen and Muschamp are fairly similar in ability and I would put them right with Leach and co.

Fitz went to 13th grade as did McCoy
Another kid bound for JUCO was Steve Slaton who landed at WVU
Both Pitt & WVU are famous for athlete majoring in eligibilty
In fact McCoy was so bad he could not get into a then rogue Miami

WTF are you talking about Slaton had offers from WVU and Maryland and when he told Maryland he didn't want to play DB they pulled his offer. Maryland is also one of the best schools in the country

Blue Chip Paul Jones who has not seen the feild at Penn State because of grades should have gone to WVU. The Combined SAT scores of Slaton and Devine fell below the average WVU enrollee.

stop making shite up
also note that BE stopped taking no qualifiers a while ago while the SEC still does
And with Both schools moving conferences they will still not be able to take them

Not sure if he is serious, not sure why he would think a native Philadelphian is bashing the rust belt states by mentioning the obivious.

Not sure about the coaches. Meyer is obviously going to raise the bar, but how much more than Tressel? Hoke is a recruiting demon somehow, but x's and o's really have yet to be seen. Dantonio is doing a great job. The bloom has faded from Ferentz. Bielema's track record looks great so far, but I see a lot of signs he's a blockhead and they are headed for a fall. Panini - headed for a fall IMO. Everyone just loves Fitz. Hope - record incomplete. PSU - record incomplete. Kill - record incomplete. Can't name anyone else. I would put Stoops, Mack, Patterson, Snyder, Gundy, Dana, even fatso up against that lot.

In addition to Penn State the dopes that seem to be able to make the grade @ WVU would help the other 11 squads in the Big Ten if they turned a blind eye to academics however if you want to deflect using Sandusky
