Yea, Im starting a SEC/Big 10 Fight, but worth it

I just wanted to shed some light on the old argument given to SEC schools that academics dont matter at their schools.  SEC setting the standard now, apparently in academics as well.

ACC-7 in top 50

SEC-8

Pac-10-6

Big 10-7

Big 12-7

Big East-1 (congrats Pitt)

To be honest I am surprised that Purdue is number 53. They are very well respected for their engineering programs.

Interesting list though....surprised Bama is in the top 15.

Well, for starters, it's a list of public schools, which leaves Northwestern (we only leave 'em in for the academics) off the list.  Of course, the SEC can say the same about Vanderbilt.

If you bump the list to top 54 schools, however, the Big 10 gets 2 more (Purdue and Minnesota . . . vastly underrated on this list), while the SEC gets none.

That accounts for every Big 10 school except Penn State, which belongs in the Big East anyway.

No offense ng but these lists are all a bunch of hogwash.  It's all about what you decide to major in and how you apply yourself.  It really doesn't matter where you go.

The man I work for who is sitting to my left as we speak makes well over $350,000.00 per year and he is a graduate of Mississippi State.

Jes' Sayin'.

Oh.....I posted too quick.

I didn't see that was just public universities. That changes things a bit here.
