The Big Ten is once again embarrassing itself weekly.
The top teams simply miss the "it" that it takes .... to be elite.
There's always something missing on every good squad.
Not trying to sound like an expert, but 99% of the time, just by looking at the rosters and the athletes ... I'd rarely take the B10 team.
I grew up and have faithfully watched it my entire life. My Dad pointed it out in the '70s to me. Theres Big Ten speed, and then theres "top tams in the country" speed.
Obvious differences.

Perfect example last week UW/LSU. LSU, and most SEC teams, are three deep with athletes at every position.

Just think, the Gophers are not yet even Big Ten contenders. The distance between that and National Champs is large.

George Jetson stuff.
You are literally feet away form the play when it happens.
AMAZING technology.

The Big Ten is officially burnt toast.

MSU put up a fight for 3 qtrs but the game has a 4th qtr and Oregon stepped on their throat. Mariotta is something.

OSU  and Mich lose. I cant think of which team barely beat McNeese St. Getting bad when you can't even beat up the cupcakes on your schedule

Hey....

how can you forget Nebraska?

[;)]

the McNeese brothers (inside joke based on their team name on the back of their jerseys...ha) probably should have beaten Nebraska if not for Abdullah's heroics...

so in a way, they fared as well as any of the B1G's

but definitely the B1G is a joke and none of them will sniff the playoff

Oregon is more physical this year, but I'm not sure if that translates to them being better other then that they'll match up better with Stanford...

My boys could contend for the B10 title this year if they could find a QB that could throw in the ocean from the end of a peer. [:o]

Nebraska remains in the title hunt.

Once again Pelini shows why Nebraska will never win anything under his guidance. The guy is a complete joke of a coach but the fans and everyone else up there love him.

I guess it's because he's "better than Calahan". Nebraska has some talent on this roster but Pelini will drive it right into the ground like normal. I hope I'm wrong. [;)]

Great running game, ok ST's and a much improved D. Although, they let me down in the 2nd half yesterday. Still, that team put up 61 last week and we shut em out in the first half.

I gave up on Gopher football long ago. Are they any good at all this season?

Until proven otherwise I would consider them a middle of the pack Big Ten team. Does that mean any good? I don't know but it probably does mean they don't suck.

Starting out this year, middle of the pack. Given that the B10 looks like shit, we can win it if Leidner gets it together. Kill is a hell of a coach. And, I don't say this as a homer. I've never said my boys can win it all...ever.
