The Big Ten is not on the same level as the SEC - on the field.
You just have to look at playoff record.
16-5  SEC
8-8   ACC
3-7   B1G
1-5   XII
1-2   PAC
0-1   ND
0-1   AAC
.
And 2 of the SEC losses were to fellow SEC teams.  
SEC's record is from 3 teams, each of which has a NC.
B1G's record is from 3 teams, but 2 of them are winless in the playoff.

my opinion is that the SEC is some better at the top

Georgia/Bama better than OSU/MU

and some better overall, top to bottom

but not as much as many others seem to think
That's about where I'm at too.  Some folks, not us, like to dramaticize what probably are smaller differences.  And of course UGA/Bama could fall off at some point, probably not that soon because of 'crootin'.

Saban of course will retire at some point in the not too distant.  I don't expect Bama to fall off a cliff, but they could become more ordinary, still probably quite good at times.

I'm still a bit surprised how long Texas/USC/Nebraska have been down, though the first two at least get ranked pretty high in the preseason stuff.

We typically get Hebrew National, solely because they have them for cheap at Costco. But Nathan's makes the best I've had. The specialty ones have always been lackluster for me, but not sure which brands I've had.

I think, for me, a "good hot dog" is really about the toppings.  Maybe some horrible turkey dog would overshadow them.  I used to get the hot dog and Coke at Costco for $1,50  but my wife doesn't like their fast food so we usually don't stop though she tells me to go ahead, I don't.

I figure they likely aren't good for me anyway.

It's amazing how much salt is in nearly all processed food.  My five major food groups are:

salt
fat
alcohol
caffeine
sugar

sips coffee ...

A ranking of "best hotdogs" would be among the most useless of that ilk I think.

I can live with restaurant rankings as I may glance at them and think "Never heard of this place, menu sounds decent, maybe we'll try it."

"Best fast foods" would be silly IMHO, nearly all of us have tried them and have some sort of preference.  Best chain restaurants?  Nearly the same thing.

A lot of things are rightly dominated by personal preference.  

Preseason football rankings can be sort of "OK" in the sense they may have some sleeper team identified like say Texas.
