Yes way worse, a big 10 team hasn’t won a national championship in a quarter century.
I don’t have an explanation but the Big 10 consistently puts a lot of teams in the tourney that don’t go on deep runs or win the championship. I hate the SEC, but they’re definitely the strongest conference by a ways. They sent 14 teams in 24 & won the title last year. The ACC was also better than the big 10 until NIL came, cause all the schools are poor. The ACC still has the most championships in the past decade.
