Looks like a pile of shit.
I recall getting slaughtered by Wiscy in a title game.
Legends and leaders is different than the west. We haven't ever won the west.
Assuming MN loses again….Nebraska essentially controls its own destiny.
Yea get anopther beat down by MI in the Championship game. Yay.
utah and colorado replace them. it's not like northwestern and minnesota.
You never know maybe Michigan has an off day and PSU wins the east and then Nebraska makes it competitive in a championship game. Might as well dream since it’s not happening either way. Rather win the division still though.
think of what that means. beating Wisconsin & Iowa in the same season would be huge for Rhule's first year.
Colorado is like Northwestern. They both only had 1 win last season. Colorado vs Northwestern in the toilet bowl.
texas hasn't won a b12 championship in a decade. with them, you're all in on 'name,' not performance. it's illogical but fact, their name means more than their results. utah would have curb-stomped them throughout that period.
In 2019, Texas beat Utah 38-10 in the Alamo Bowl. Utah was the one who got curb stomped.
Whatever, my point still stands. Utah's success in recent years was mainly due to the fact that USC and Oregon have been down recently. Utah tends to lose against good competition. They might win the Big 12 their 1st year, but the main reason for that is because none of the rest of the teams in the Big 12 are good.
Texas has to contend with Oklahoma year in and year out and most of the time Oklahoma wins that matchup.
Not only that, but Utah's success has come at the expense of a bunch of bad teams, all of which suddenly became good when they agreed to join the Big Ten.
exactly. the way most of the people around here act, you would think we were adding Alabama and Georgia to our conference.
Utah lost back to back Rose Bowls. Last year, they lost to the 3rd best team in the B1G, Penn State. The year before that, they lost to the 2nd best team in the B1G, Ohio State. Even in Utah's best years, they would only be the 3rd or 4th best team in the B1G.
I don't really have a dog in these fights but non-playoff bowl games are a joke. Good players don't play more than half the time
They are kind of like the NIT and the CBI tournaments in college basketball.
And yet the Utes are the two-time defending champion of the conference that's supposedly bringing an entirely new level of greatness to the Blowhard Ten. If Utah was joining the B1G instead of one of the other four, you would be shouting from the highest mountaintop about how great they are.
I think this year the B1G has the best teams but I could be wrong
USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington are not easy wins like Rutgers, Northwestern, and Indiana. I would say that they are a step above teams like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Purdue. I don't think the new teams will dominate the B1G but they certainly won't be pushovers either.
