I once again got into an intense Twitter argument with an Alabama fan on the subject of which conference was superior. (I tell myself every day that I will no longer allow trolls on social media to get to me. They end up getting to me every time.) Obviously for the past decade the SEC on the field, from top to bottom has been the best conference (The Pac 12 was the best conference imo this year) so there is no disputing that. This guy though could not admit that #B1GNation is larger than #SECNation by about 2 million fans according to an in depth NYTimes study. Said "fan" was also unable to admit that the B1G makes more money than the SEC or any other conference. The SEC is actually tied for 4th with the Big 12. So, if you guys need any sources to prove to our uneducated SEC counterparts, here you go.
