It is a toss up I grew up in the Midwest so I have been to Bloomington, Ann Arbor and Columbus OH but I like the SEC hometowns the best.

Not sure about what you are asking.

The Pac12 is in the LA metro, the SFBay metro, the Seattle metro, Phoenix metro, Salt Lake metro, Denver metro.

The Big10 is in the Chicago metro,(sort of), and Indy, (sort of), and Columbus and...Madison???.

Hmm. Use your own judgement here.

I'm not classifying Chicago, L.A or Seattle as college towns. Columbu maybe just because of how big OSU is.

You didn't specify that "town" was a requirement. The term "college town" is often used for any place with a university including big cities.

Pac 12, no contest.

I kind of assumed it was a given that L.A and Chicago where by no means part of this.

probably makes more sense to compare individual college towns rather than as a conference.

I would say Oregon State is my favorite one in Pac-12 based on looking at google maps street view. MSU is my favorite in traditional big 10, tied with Maryland overall.

Big 10 is the void of college life.

I don't understand how people can exist in those states. Most of those states are Donald Trump places, LoL.

Chicago sort of?????????????????????????????????Evanston, Chicago's neighbor to the north, is smack in the heart of Chicagoland. Where on earth does the "sort of" come from.

please tell me this is a joke. Can you seriously imagine that places like Ann Arbor, Evanston, Madison, Iowa City, Minneapolis, and Bloomington are "Trump Country" If anything, quite the opposite.
