Nick Chubb silences the Big Ten's "cold weather" argument

There have been countless arguments and discussions centered around the College Football Playoff this year. One of the biggest arguments however has come from the Big Ten and its fans up north, and is something they have said for many years now.

The Big Ten has always talked about how the SEC wouldn't stand a chance if they had to come play a game in their stadiums in the middle of November when the temperatures fall below freezing every night. They even said that to the four former PAC 12 schools that joined the Big Ten this season (but we all know how that is going with Oregon dominating the conference this year).

But this year the Big Ten is going to get their wish as at least one southern team will likley have to head north in mid-December to play a true road game in the cold weather during the first round of the playoffs. In fact, if the season ended today, Georgia, Ole Miss and Alabama would all be heading north for a road game against a Big Ten team or Notre Dame.

So it will be very interesting next month to see how these SEC schools handle the harsh climate up north, but what if the weather won't impact anything at all? What if all this talk about SEC teams struggling to play up north in the cold all these years was for nothing?

Well, former Georgia football running back Nick Chubb may already be proving that the weather should not be a concern for SEC teams.

Nick Chubb scores two touchdowns in the snow

Chubb and the Cleveland Browns played host to the Pittsburgh Steelers last night in a snowy Thursday Night Football contest. And what did Chubb do in this game? He rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns in a blizzard en route to a 24-19 victory.

But Big Ten fans said SEC players would struggle in the cold and snow? They said the SEC would stand no chance when they have to play up north in these conditions? So how is it possible for Chubb to come north and dominate on one of the NFL's biggest stages in the worst weather imaginable?

Maybe, just maybe all this talk from the past decade about the cold weather mattering has been meaningless. Maybe the weather won't impact SEC schools at all.

While it would be ideal for Georgia to earn a first round bye or get a home game in the first round, it sure would be fun to head north and destroy a Big Ten team in their stadium in the cold weather after all this talk from the past decade.
