per ESPN:
Kevin Wilson served as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 2008 when the Big 12 South Division was the toast of college football.
That season, the Sooners finished in a three-way tie for first place with Texas and Texas Tech, and all three were ranked in the top seven of the final BCS standings. A fourth team, Oklahoma State, was ranked No. 14.
Now the head coach at Indiana, Wilson can see a similar group of super powers forming in the Big Ten's East Division.
"It's comparable," Wilson said of the current Big Ten East vs. the old Big 12 South. "It's a tough bracket, a tough division. You've got to learn to bring it."
The current Big Ten division format is only entering its second year. But the East already has staked its claim as a beast.
"I think our side of the conference is kind of ridiculous right now, as far as the quality of teams in it," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. "You can see how they did in bowl games and the future, too. I see a lot of good recruiting going on our side of the conference as well."
