OVERRATED: SEC vs. Big Ten Debate HEATS UP in S&P+ Rankings REVEAL. Indiana, Ohio State make B1G #1

The SEC is rated as the top conference in college football going into the 2026 season in the S&P+ rankings. The Big 10 should be given the benefit of the doubt. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On Sun Devils' host Philip Mulford discuss the biggest questions in Tempe. Is Kentucky QB transfer Cutter Boley the only thing looming over Kenny Dillingham's program? Duke was a surprise winner of the ACC in 2025 and Manny Diaz has to navigate not having Darian Mensah or WR Cooper Barkate to drive the offense. The Blue Devils are likely to regress in 2026. 00:00 Evaluating teams with analytics 05:29 Comparing SEC and Big Ten teams 08:04 Debating SEC conference depth 18:15 ASU Spring practice standout players 20:55 Discussing Duke's regression 27:13 Tough road-heavy game stretch JOIN THE LOCKED ON EVERYDAYER CLUB (Ad-Free Audio) https://lockedoncollegefootball.supercast.com/  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGY  Have your cake & drink it too. Birthday cake-flavor is back, no fork needed.
