The BBC Challenge – semi-finals have arrived!

So you REALLY wanna know which conference is the best?  We’ve got your answer.

Over the past 14 weeks, we’ve been running a little experiment involving the Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC and Big 12, and we’ve been putting the best NFL players from those conferences in a fantasy football league.  We call it The BBC Challenge.

The semi-finals are taking place this weekend, and the Super Bowl is next weekend.

This weekend, the best players from the Big Ten are battling it out with the Big 12, while the SEC and Pac-10 will settle the score to send a team to the Super Bowl.  Here’s the rosters;

Big 12

QB Vince Young, Ten QB » Sun 1:00
RB Cedric Benson, Cin RB » Sun 4:05
RB Correll Buckhalter, Den RB   » Sun 4:05
WR Michael Crabtree, SF WR » Sun 1:00
WR Wes Welker, NE WR » Sun 1:00
WR Mark Clayton, Bal WR » Sun 1:00
TE Daniel Graham, Den TE » Sun 4:05
K Kris Brown, Hou K » Sun 1:00

Big 10

QB Drew Brees, NO QB » Sat 8:20
RB Pierre Thomas, NO RB » Sat 8:20
RB Rashard Mendenhall, Pit RB » Sun 4:15
WR Derrick Mason, Bal WR » Sun 1:00

RB Knowshon Moreno, Den RB   » Sun 4:05
WR Percy Harvin, Min WR   » Sun 8:20

WR Sidney Rice, Min WR   » Sun 8:20
TE Jason Witten, Dal TE » Sat 8:20
K Ryan Succop, KC K » Sun 1:00

Pac-10

QB Aaron Rodgers, GB QB » Sun 4:15
RB Steven Jackson, StL RB   » Sun 1:00
RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac RB » L 31-35
WR DeSean Jackson, Phi WR » Sun 1:00
WR Chad Ochocinco, Cin WR   » Sun 4:05
WR Steve Smith, NYG WR » Mon 8:30
TE Tony Gonzalez, Atl TE » Sun 1:00
K Ryan Longwell, Min K » Sun 8:20

Some of the players this week have already had their say (Manning, Addai, Clark, Jones-Drew).  So far, the SEC leads the Pac-10 40-26, and the Big Ten leads the Big 12 21-0.  The Big 12’s lack of a quarterback has hurt them all season, but if Vince Young can rise to the challenge this week, they have a shot.

Whoever wins this weekend will play each other for the right to declare conference supremacy!
