The BBC Challenge – Big Ten wins Week #1

Our fantasy football experiment is now officially in full swing.  We drafted eight teams into our NFL fantasy football league, consisting of nothing but players from the Big Ten, SEC, Pac-10 and Big 12.  After one week of action, the Big Ten is the winner.

Big Ten team #1 78
Big Ten team #2 69
Total Big Ten points 147
Pac 10 team #1 61
Pac 10 team #2 82
Total Pac 10 points 143
Big 12 team #1 86
Big 12 team #2 48
Total Big 12 points 134
SEC team #1 62
SEC team #2 70
Total SEC points 132

Quarterback play is what gave the Big Ten their big first week.  Drew Brees scored 48 points all by himself, and Tom Brady added 25.

Individually, the Big 12 team #1 scored the most points, thanks to a 37-point outburst by Adrian Peterson.

Thus far, only a few roster changes are evident.  Antwaan Randle El scored 9 points, but they don’t count because he was benched.  Next week, he might get the start over Ted Ginn (2 points) of Lee Evans (2 points).

We got a good first look at every team, and the most obvious hole is clear – the Big 12 has no quarterbacks that will get any playing time in the NFL.  If any B-12 QBs were playing, that conference would be a force.
