What's your take on all the college conference changes?
Fri Jun 11, 2010 11:01 PM EDT
Nebraska to the Big Ten, Colorado to the Pac-10, Boise State to the Mountain West, and on and on ... College sports, namely football and basketball, soon won't look the same as they do now as expansion is now the name of the game. After making your vote on the moves, back it up in the discussion below.

Which is the best conference in college football?
Tue Nov 10, 2009 12:14 PM EST
It's one argument that stirs passion across college football -- what's the best conference? Michael Ventre argues in Trash Talk that it's not the SEC ... even though SEC teams have won the past three national titles. So what's your take?

Top to bottom match SEC teams with opponents from other conferences then you decide. I say the SEC wins the majority of match-ups.

When you have to play each other, yeah, you're going to knock some of your own conference rivals out of the top 25. Learn anything ventre?

The SEC votes to "keep the money in the family." The only other conference as overrated is the Big Ten.

What an idiotic column. Big 10 is a joke. No "D" in Big 12. Mountain West? Please. Only in SEC do you see a "complete" game.

When 6 of the best teams in the nation play someone has to come away a loser. What other conference has two undefeated teams ranked #1 & 2
