How many Big Ten coaches would prefer to see Indiana on their schedule rather than Michigan?
I’d bet zero…
Big 12 vs Big Ten Debate
- Thread starter ForeverIowan
- Start date
I’d bet zero…
So one year where they beat OSU and bama in a down year, a season after they won a natty is enough to just dismiss them as not belonging?
Again, what a wild and shortsighted take. They just brought in the best QB in the class and a whole cadre of 4/5 stars. Give the new staff more then a year to rebuild
I bet every single one, epically on the road. The talent at Indiana just isn’t there yet.
Man I have never seen anyone stump so hard for Indiana football. Who knew one good year in an entire programs history catapults you to world beater status
It sounds like you grew up worshipping Michigan. Time to face reality in 2025.
yeah if they truly restructured the "P2" to include the top 24 to 32 brands.....there would be some very unhappy SEC and Big Ten schools who currently ride their conference juggernaut coattails.
I'd say those from the Big Ten who would be included for sure are
Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Oregon, Nebraska, UCLA
from the SEC your haves are
Bama, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, LSU, Texas, OU, A&M, Tennessee
Then there are some secondary tiers but programs who would be in danger would be Vandy, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue, Rutgers, and Northwestern.

something else I notice is that there's almost no Big 12 alumni who are in sports media. Everyone in sports media seems to have graduated from either an SEC or Big Ten school.
I think based on brand alone they get the benefit of the doubt.....why else would they be in the Big Ten?
Weird how Utah was a top tier team in the Pac 12 for years and years with now Big Ten USC, Oregon, UCLA and Washington and go 2-7 in their first year in the Big 12. Weird how that happens.
Not really. Nebraska was playing for Big 12 conference titles nearly every year then joined the B1G and fell off a cliff.
Nebraska??? Are we turning the clock back to the mid 1990s? Wow!
Weird how Utah transitioned to the Big 12 and goes 2-7. Weird how their first game following that 2-7 year is against a Big Ten opponent (in their house) and they win by 50. All of it is strange.
My biggest gripe against the Big 10 is that there is a perception of being defensive powers, in reality it is because the Big 10 West has played against next to 0 NFL caliber quarterbacks in the last decade. Of course your PPG and YPG allowed is going to look good against QB's from Iowa, Wisconsin, etc.
Weird how ASU was a Pac12 format for years but won the Big12 their first year. Weird how that happens
Sounds like you just made the case why the Big 10 should be a one bid conference.
Now this I agree with, it’s more bad offense than a bunch of elite differences. Only reason that rep still exists is due to the nfl draft and even then it’s not realistic
Elite coaches turn programs around. Happened in Indiana and Illinois of all places. Let's hear your analysis and pick for the Iowa/Iowa State game.
Dillingham was there the year before when they went 3-9 in the PAC. Lol.
ISU 30
Iowa 13
