Yes, the Big Ten QBs aren't great this year. Don't you think it's somewhat cyclical? All those QB "stars" in the Big 12 have been starting for 2+ years and play in spread offenses geared towards passing. What is the point?

It may very well be cyclical.
So what has happened?

Take a look at the Big 12 rosters of the top teams.
The best players on the teams are from Texas.
Half of the Oklahoma team is Texas.

Oklahoma
OK. St.
Texas Tech
Texas
Texas ATM
Baylor

The entire Big 12 south is Texas.
Missouri, Neb, Kansas, Top players Texas.

Ohio St. is supposed to own Ohio... right?
And they pull Pryor from Penn. and snack on Michigan players.
How does Ohio ST. not win the National Championship every year with all the good HS players in Ohio?

Do other States snag all those good HS players from Cinc. and Clev.?
I have heard they have the best HS football teams in the country.
Just wondering....
