Has the Big Ten officially passed the SEC?

Athlon Sports ranks the SEC as the nation's top conference entering the 2026 college football season, but longtime national columnist Dennis Dodd makes a compelling case that the Big Ten has already taken the throne.

In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we examine:

🏈 Three straight Big Ten national championships 🏈 Ohio State's dominance in the NFL Draft 🏈 Why Indiana's title run changed the national narrative 🏈 How NIL and the transfer portal shifted the balance of power 🏈 Why Athlon's own rankings support the Big Ten's rise 🏈 Whether the SEC is chasing its own legacy

Is the Big Ten now the strongest conference in college football?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
