If Michigan goes down, the B1G will have one top 15 team.

[Chicago-Bama]

Alabama has more rose bowl wins than Wisconson?

ok looked it up yes thy do Bama is 4-1-1 in the RB

Also found this that was intresting:




After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and a series of attacks on West Coast shipping beginning on December 18, 1941 [13] there were concerns about a possible Japanese attack on the West Coast. The Rose Parade, with a million watchers, and the Rose Bowl, with 90,000 spectators, were presumed to be ideal targets for the Japanese. Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt recommended that the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl festivities be canceled.[14][15][16] The Rose Bowl committee originally planned to cancel the game. On December 16, 1941, Duke University invited the game and Oregon State to Duke's home stadium in Durham, North Carolina

I don't know, teams like Va Tech, Mizzou, Texas Tech, Fresno State, Northern Illinois, and Oklahoma St, will move ahead of Michigan. Nebraska may as well, and maybe Wisconsin. I'd also have Utah ahead of them too but that's JMO, I doubt they will be. Also Auburn and Michigan St have the potential to as well.

Okie State belongs nowhere near the top 25. West Virginia is abysmal. Penn State is at least a respectable team.

I think people should take a look at the conference records.

The B1G has all of 2 teams .500 or less. Every other major conference has almost half their teams under .500. Will likely have 9 teams bowling, 10 if PSU were eligible.

By the end of the season, we'll see Ohio State undefeated, MSU, Wisky, Nebraska, NW, and scum ranked, maybe even PSU.

The B1G's OOC schedule was HORRIBLE and they didn't even finish that well. There are almost zero impressive OOC wins for the whole conference. No one cares if you beat some FCS or MAC teams.

That could be said of any of the conferences. There were so many damn FCS games everywhere. I wasn't impressed really with any of the OOC games. A few select teams, scattered around, played pretty good schedules, but for conferences as a whole, nobody was special.

So you really said nothing, and I'm still right.

No. You're still wrong. It isn't the same for all conferences. B1G scheduling is NOTICEABLY worse than other conferences. And you really have zero marquee wins. No one is going to be impressed when you only have 2 teams under .500 when this is how you schedule. Please highlight the wins that are impressive. There are single teams in other conferences that have more impressive OOC wins than the entire B1G conference.

They aren't ranked in MY top 25, but they will be ahead of Michigan when the polls come out IMO.

You may be right just because of the timing of Michigan's loss, but their overall resume is definitely better.

 

[ckhokie]

So the B1G's best OOC win is maybe Michigan over a bad ND team?

Yet we need to 'look at conference records.'

Come on man.

Let's be honest, neither has a good resume. I don't think either should be ranked IMO.

Agreed, they did perform poorly OOC.

The problem is there's not really anyone else more deserving really. This season has a very 2007-ish feel to it.
