Great tactile examples of something that is 100% obvious to anyone remotely informed about college football as a whole.
After watching the bowl games, I think it's fair for even a big10 fan to say that the big 10 is the 4th best conference this year. OSU being down absolutely kills the big 10.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I summed this up in a conversation yesterday:
The B1G is a perceived elite conference, whether they are or not. Most times not, especially recently.

Iowa city community college fans are truly the reason I hate the big 10. Ferentz is classy - even the announcers for ICCC are respectable. The fans are a**e*. The funny part is its not the fans that went to school there that are the issue.... It's the ones that went to Walmart and bought a hat.
Okay, you got me. I'll cop to my over-obsession with the B1G. You've got to understand, though, it is because I'm hopelessly jealous of everything the conference has accomplished, in the exact same way that I'm jealous of my socially awkward neighbor who got a $1 million insurance settlement for shooting himself in the groin with a defective air-soft gun.
The Big Ten Conference: Dumber than the Ivy League, Less Athletic than the ACC, more money than the G-O-D.
So there you have it. I hope this clears up your confusion.

First of all, that list has the Big Ten in 5th. And I'd take the Big Ten over the ACC in pretty much any year, including this one. I won't bother making a case for any better than 4th, though.
Agreed. They didn't deserve the bid, and IMO it's a game they can win. And that only serves to work against Iowa. Michigan is going to be "back" eventually, and in the very near future. But if they win tonight, the program gets a serious jump start.
You forgot the end of that sentence which is "but they would eviscerate anyone from the Big Ten".
I don't know. It's not like LSU completely crushed Oregon and Wisconsin had a great chance to win that game. Bama didn't completely demolish PSU who is not a good team at all. Those two would likely win but like i have said, the truth is somewhere in the middle. The SEC isn't all everyone makes it to be and the Big Ten probably isn't as bad as it's made out to be.
Iowa did average 19 points (in regulation) vs Big 12 teams. Pretty awesome.
Minnesota did win more Big 10 games than non conference games.
7 Big 10 teams finished with 6+ losses.
Anymore fun stats?
bunt. b-u-n-t, in perfect cursive. Any more brain busters?
P.S. The Rizzuto z's Billy used are not good. Much like the big 10 as a conference.
that's 5th.
and i would say tied for third with the pac. after Stanford and Oregon, that conference is total junk.
sec is first.
Yeah USC is junk.........
There are 3 teams this year that are as good or better than the Big 10's best team in Wisconsin (I really like their team). After that both conferences are pretty much junk.
I promise to everyone on CycloneFanatic, I will never type "B1G" unless I am making fun of it in some way, shape, or form, or using it as an example (like I'm doing now).
I will never refer to their divisions as "Legends" or "Leaders" unless I am making fun of it in some way, shape, or form, or using it as an example (like I'm doing now).

Wrong.
Horrible Big Ten losses this year (teams ranked below 85 in Sagarin):
-New Mexico State
-Army
-Minnesota
-Rice
-Minnesota
-Ball State
-North Texas
-North Dakota State (ranked 48 in Sagarin but an FCS team)
Horrible Pac 12 losses this year (teams ranked below 85 by Sagarin):
-Sacramento State
-Colorado
-Colorado
And just for fun horrible losses by Big 12 this year (teams ranked below 85 by Sagarin):
ZERO
Call this "hate" if you want to, I call it simple truth that certain people conveniently ignore.

Beautiful!
Hard to argue those facts.
And Colorado is in the Pac 12 so the Pac 12 really only has 1 horrible loss
