Big Ten’s Delany: ‘Top teams competing at very high level’

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany stuck up for his league a week after another lopsided loss in a big game by Ohio State.

The Buckeyes may have flopped last week against top-ranked Southern California, but that doesn’t mean the Big Ten is down, Delany said. He cited conference victories in other high-profile games, such as Big Ten wins over Southeastern Conference squads in non-BCS bowl games.
“I feel like our top teams are competing at a very high level. We play the SEC year in and year out and more than hold our own,” Delany said before No. 16 Penn State’s game Saturday against Temple.
