4 of the top 10 rated teams are from the Big 10.
2 definitely should be.
1 certainly deserves consideration.
1 hasn't convinced me yet.

IMO, there is Alabama and about 20 other teams in the country playing for second place. Michigan experienced what USC and Oregon have experienced in the past. When your conference is a bit deeper, you can't afford to take a weekend off.

Winning in the Pac 12 every week is brutal because the quarterbacks are so good. Take one week off and a program like Washington State, Utah or ASU can clip you. The SEC has horrendous quarterbacks. If one ends up good, they win it all. Auburn won with Newton. Florida with Tebow. Bama with a couple of decent guys. Outside of that, the conference hasn't produced a ton of talent at quarterback. Dak Prescott had Mississippi State competitive for the first time in decades. They went back to being Mississippi State as soon as he left. A&M was fun when Manziel was there. He left and gonzo went the Aggies. Chase Daniel at Missouri, same thing.

If you don't have the guy slinging it, you have no chance.

The Pac 12 has five of the top 16 teams in the country according to the Sagarin Rankings. They will be lucky to get one team into the four-team playoff, which means it is a shameful system.

That is because too much emphasis is placed no not having a loss and not enough on quality of opponent

Louisville shows they are a fraud

The Michigan and OSU losses have been HUGE. If Penn State wins out, then neither OSU nor Michigan would make it into the B1G Championship Game. Talk about throwing a monkey wrench into the playoffs. The only team IMO who is a lock for the playoff is Alabama, and damn if they don't look scary good. True Freshman QB is a STUD!

The Big Ten is now experiencing what the Pac 12 has for over a decade. The deeper the conference, the harder it is to get them into the playoff or title picture.

I would argue that USC is playing as good of football as anyone outside of Alabama at this point.

I would argue the Big 10 is one of the top 2 conferences in football.


I would argue that 4 Big 10 teams would have run the table in conference play if they were in the Pac XX

No quarterbacks in the Big Ten. The Pac 12 would beat the daylights out of them. I would argue that Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State are all vastly overrated. Whomever gets to the final four from that conference will get rolled.

The Pac XX only looks like it has QBs, because of bottom feeder defenses across the board, year after year.

Agree with this in general. Never trust a Pac 12 skill position player (offense) until tested against non-Pac 12 competition. On the other hand, if a defender stands out it can mean they're elite, as we've seen in our LBs.

Hey Mark. Yeah, about 10 miles outside of campus.

Thanks for asking. Have several friends that work there, but no one I know involved.

From what I heard, guy had a knife, and cut several people, one seriously. I guess he had a gun too.

I'm going to assume he killed himself

Defenses always look worse when the league has quarterbacks. Defenses always look great when there is none. The Big Ten West is a mediocre conference (at-best) right now. The Sagarin Conference Ratings say it all. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/2016/conference/

I guarantee you this, none of those sloppy-ass Big Ten offenses want anything to do with USC right now.

I agree. Doesn't mean it isn't true.

However, if USC gets into the Rose Bowl and faces a Big Ten program, it is going to be an embarrassing day for the Big Ten.

It doesn't mean a thing. Just Like you saying Carolina was the best in the NFL.

I'm sure the Big 10 will be real concerned about their 3rd or 4th best team in the Rose Bowl.

The Michigan and OSU losses have been HUGE. If Penn State wins out, then neither OSU nor Michigan would make it into the B1G Championship Game. Talk about throwing a monkey wrench into the playoffs. The only team IMO who is a lock for the playoff is Alabama, and damn if they don't look scary good. True Freshman QB is a STUD!

The Big Ten is now experiencing what the Pac 12 has for over a decade. The deeper the conference, the harder it is to get them into the playoff or title picture.

I would argue that USC is playing as good of football as anyone outside of Alabama at this point.

I would argue the Big 10 is one of the top 2 conferences in football.


I would argue that 4 Big 10 teams would have run the table in conference play if they were in the Pac XX

No quarterbacks in the Big Ten. The Pac 12 would beat the daylights out of them. I would argue that Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State are all vastly overrated. Whomever gets to the final four from that conference will get rolled.


The Pac XX only looks like it has QBs, because of bottom feeder defenses across the board, year after year.

Defenses always look worse when the league has quarterbacks. Defenses always look great when there is none. The Big Ten West is a mediocre conference (at-best) right now. The Sagarin Conference Ratings say it all. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/2016/conference/

I guarantee you this, none of those sloppy-ass Big Ten offenses want anything to do with USC right now.

I guarantee you USC isn't going to get a chance. The BIG 10 has a better chance of getting 2 teams in the playoffs than USC has of making it.

I agree. Doesn't mean it isn't true.

However, if USC gets into the Rose Bowl and faces a Big Ten program, it is going to be an embarrassing day for the Big Ten.


It doesn't mean a thing. Just Like you saying Carolina was the best in the NFL.

I'm sure the Big 10 will be real concerned about their 3rd or 4th best team in the Rose Bowl.

Hoping for USC versus Wisconsin. I may even buy a ticket to watch that beat down.

The truth is, everybody should be pushing for an 8-team playoff. A lot of teams are stacked up behind Alabama this season and most are going to be pissed that they did not get in. USC fans have no vision of getting into the playoff. They know the dream was gone after four weeks.

The biggest fraud has to be Penn State. They had one good Saturday against Ohio State, and played a bunch of bums outside of that game. The next biggest fraud is Wisconsin. The Gophers had them over a barrel until Mitch Leidner showed up in the 4th quarter. What a sham that those two teams are playing for the Big Ten championship. They should cancel the event.

Nebraska ranked #16 going into last week? Haven't beaten a team with a pulse all season. Sagarin has them ranked #34.
