Colin Cowherd says the Big Ten has better coaches than the SEC

FOX Sports analyst Colin Cowherd aired a segment sure to cause some controversy during Thursday’s “The Herd” show.
In the above video, Cowherd ranks the top-10 Big Ten and SEC coaches, naming seven Big Ten coaches and only three SEC coaches.
Alabama’s Nick Saban checks in at No. 2 on Cowherd’s list, behind Ohio State coach Urban Meyer. Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin makes the list at No. 6 and Arkansas’ Bret Bielema at No. 8.
“Nick Saban is Nick Saban,” he said. “He will get the No. 1 coach all-time in college football, but I’ve always felt Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer has rebuilt four programs.”
With Les Miles’ getting fired and Steve Spurrier and Gary Pinkel stepping down, it’s certainly a down year for coaching in the SEC. But to have seven of the top 10 coaches between the two conferences coming from the Big Ten seems a little skewed.
What do you think? Who from the SEC got snubbed?
