After the first five games of the 2021 season have been played, Danny Kanell talked about who has the best division in all of college football.

Kanell believes that the best division goes to the Big Ten East.

The east side of the Big Ten currently has three teams inside the Top 10 of the AP Top 25: No. 4 Penn State (5-0), No. 7 Ohio State (4-1), and No. 9 Michigan (5-0) are all inside the Top 10. No.11 Michigan State (5-0) is the only ranked team from the division is not currently in the Top 10.

For the SEC, it seems like the West is going to be the better division in 2021. However, the teams in it when compared aren’t ranked quite as high as the Big Ten East. The SEC West has four ranked teams inside the Top 25, with No. 1 Alabama being the only team inside the Top 10. The other ranked teams include No.13 Arkansas (4-1), No.17 Ole Miss (3-1), and No. 18 Auburn (4-1).
