The B1G Absolutely Blows This Year
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
If we are as good as we’ve seemed so far, this season could be special.
Rhule won’t say it publicly but he fully expects us to be in the playoffs.
Their fans say we haven’t played anyone - at least we are dominating bad teams.
A lot of turnover in the conference with newish coaches at so many places...liked Fickle but forget how terrible he was his first stint at OSU with basically national title talent. I guess there are certain guys better suited for non-power 5 football...ie...Frost.
We play the two best teams in the conference this year. Ohio state and usc are good. Have a good shot vs everyone else
Sleepy Saturday schedule wise. Always dangerous. I hope the boys are locked in tonight.
there will be multiple 2-loss teams in the playoffs this year (and every year)
we will get the benefit of the doubt from the B1G loving media, too
4 conference champs
One G5 champ
That leaves 7 spots. We would likely be 4th or 5th in big 10 pecking order. I don’t think that gets us in. Nebraska at usc is a de facto play in game if we beat who we should.
Auto: Georgia, Ohio State, Miami, and Utah?
G5: unlv vs Memphis?
At large: tenn, bama, ole miss, Penn state, Oregon, Texas, usc, mizzou, Nebraska? Clemson? Oklahoma? Kansas state? Oklahoma state?
Lots of competition. 10-2 with a weak resume is out
Purdue and Wisconsin getting shelled, but to me that’s like judging the SEC by Mississippi State and Florida
Can't wait for your next thread about how the pac12 and wac have fun games to watch.
Thank you. I was going to say Michigan and Wisconsin getting boatraced by Texas and Bama respectively is like the teams you mentioned getting blown up by OSU and USC.
Oregon finally came alive today and NU looks like they may be for real.
Coupled with Illinois which will now be ranked, and Indiana which looks pretty good, along with the top teams in the conference, makes the B1G a pretty solid league.
Sounds like something we used to say when we were back in the Big 8 and Big 12. We were comparable to Ohio State back then. We’ve shit the bed for so many years, we have no room to talk about how bad the B1G is. Hopefully, this is the year we pull our own weight since entering the conference!

Apparently Oregon found themselves yesterday, they looked like the Oregon team that was advertised at the start of the season.
"Sounds like something we used to say when we were back in the Big 8..."
At one time known as "Oklahoma and the 7 dwarfs."

The Big Ten has always been a conference of bad teams. Just look at the history of Purdue, Indiana, NW, Wisconsin, MSU and so on. They have never been impressive. Purdue has 1 ten win season, my guess is Indiana has zero. Wisconsin was a joke for 50 years...
Most of those teams are worse now because there are no divisions to hide in and they are becoming farm teams.
He will be here shortly letting us know how if it wasn't for the 9 TD's that the Irish scored, it would be been a really close game and he still likes the direction of the program.
And that stadium was beyond empty.
That was before Devaney arrived dude..
Which is why Nebraska was brought in, to help make the B1G more competitive.
And then Nebraska promptly became ass as well. So NU fit right in.
