That take is straight up delusional and reeks of someone who hasn't looked at a 247 composite ranking in years. The Big Ten just added Oregon and Washington, two perennial playoff contenders with elite recruiting classes, and still has Ohio State and Michigan battling for national titles every single year. Look at the recruiting trail right now, the Big Ten is cleaning up in the midwest and going national, pulling five-stars away from the SEC. Our league's depth is insane now, from Penn State's defensive croots to USC's offensive firepower. The idea that it's the weakest conference is a joke, especially when you see the coaching hires and the NIL collectives being built. The future is completely in the Big Ten's favor, and any recruit with a crystal ball prediction knows it.
