There has always been a debate about which college football conference is the best in the nation.
The truth is that there are several Powerhouse programs that live in each one, but a sec -quarterback devised completely the Big Ten -the conference that has produced the last two national title.
Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia appeared on the “Bussin ‘with the Boys” podcast with Co-Hosts, Compton and Taylor Lewan, where he decided to leave the Big Ten Conference while discussing offers he received from other programs after this last season.

Compton, a Nebraska -Alun, and Lewan, who played for Michigan, both know the big ten very good from their college days.
“You want to play with the best – you won’t play with the big ten,” Pavia told them. “… you ignore these calls. You know.”

Lewan’s Wolverines were the national titely titles two years ago, while the Ohio State just took the trophy home in February. However, Pavia claims that Big Ten’s strength in the schedule is very different from the SECs.
“But you also have to think about this,” he said. “Sec is like nothing. Like, OK, Big Ten, you have Ohio State, Oregon – Sec, It’s week after week. You’re going to turn on. The Big Ten, you won’t be beaten with Purdue, Nebraskas.”
When he was a quarterback, Pavia immediately backed up his argument with players in defense, specifically the defensive lines between the two conferences.

However, he recognized the Penn State’s Abdul Carter, who just went third to the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL draft.
“The best passport Rushers are from SEC, except, like Abdul Carter,” he said. “You find one. You have one or two.”
Pavia’s College -Football Journey began at the New Mexico Military Institute, a Junior College (Juco) school. He struggled with his legal team for another year with eligibility after playing two years there before moving on to New Mexico State for two seasons.
Then he transferred to the Vanderbilt last season, broke out with 2,133 yards and 17 passers -by touchdowns to go with 716 rushing yards and six touchdowns with his legs.

Pavia said he got offers again after this last season, claiming a SEC school made a zero offer of more than $ 4 million. But he remained true to Commodores and wants to play his last college season with them.
