You share a lot of good info and seem pretty knowledgeable about recruiting. That said, I can't believe you just made that statement!
The Big East was 4-2 in bowl games last year, and the Big 10 was 1-6. The 2 Big East losses were by 3 and 13. The 6 Big Ten losses were by 3, 14, 12, 21, 7, and 29. The Big ten just didn't lose, they got hammered. The better defenses (statistically), are in the Big East as well as better team speed. Don't get me wrong, the Big East still sucks...
I don't think anyone would argue that the top 2 teams in the Big East are better than the top 2 teams in the Big 10. But, imo, after you get past the top 2 or 3 in the Big Ten, they are pathetic. They used to dominate on pure size and strength, but now they cannot compete with the speed of the South and on the coasts...
1. SEC
2. Big 12
3. Pac 10
4. ACC
5. Big East (barely)
6. Big 10
No way the Pac-10 and Big East are ahead of the Big 10. Focusing on bowl games to prove your point is laughable.
The Pac-10? Are you serious Sab? I'm gonna try to cover everything so you can't say I'm focusing on anything like you always do...

The Pac 10 was 5-1 last year against the Big 10...
The Pac 10 was 6-0 in bowl games while the Big Ten was 1-6 and were destroyed in most of them...
In the Coaches Poll at the end of the year, the Pac 10 had 2 teams in the top 10 and 4 in the top 25 while the Big ten had 1 in the top 10 and 3 in the top 25...
In the draft, the Pac 10 had 11 players drafted in the first 2 rounds while the Big 10 only had 6....
It is kinda close on defense. The Pac 10 had 4 of the top 25 defenses in the country while the big 10 had 3, but all 3 of them were in the top 14...
All your stats are skewed by one team, USC and they aren't even that much supportive of either conference. One team does not an entire conference make. I'm talking top-to-bottom. You're also focusing on one year. That only tells part of the story. Year in and year out, the Big Ten is better overall than the Pac-10. Almost anyone would tell you the same.
