Sports debates can bring out the passion in a fanbase, especially college fans. Is the SEC or Big Ten better at football? Is Duke or UNC the better basketball program in the state of North Carolina?

Debate me if you want, but numbers don’t lie.

The higher the score, the more likely it is that it is a football school. Without further ado, here are the verdicts.
