Big Ten homer here. The Big Ten is down this year… oh, and the Pac-10 is better than the SEC this year. Truth be told, who gives a shit. I’m with #44, cheer for your team, screw everyone else. That is all.

Did you happen to see who’s #1 in Sagarin? Rock Chalk, baby! I love the ‘Hawks but I don’t think we’re the best team in the country by far. By the way, BTW, Orson, K-State can chuck it around with the best of ‘em (see OSU game) and KU picked Freeman off three times. That said KU hasn’t seen a team with Mizzou’s speed and athleticism yet. As much as I hate Mizzou, I hope they win out so Gameday will be at Arrowhead on Nov. 24. KCPD better have the riot squad ready cuz shit could get crazy

#11 – I’m with you. Vandy’s riding the Black Pearl into Gainesville this weekend. Still alive for the SEC title in November? Could be the first time in my lifetime.

Penn State is somehow 34 despite playing the juggernauts that are Buffalo, Florida International, Notre Dame, and perhaps Temple. I guess beating Wisconsin counts as something, UNLV and Citadel came close, but no cigar.

and the 20th team is feeding off of what? I guess beating Illinois and Penn State, considering they were crushed 32-7 at halftime (at home) to another one loss team, Oregon.

Forget about the SEC. Look how incredibly shitty the Big Ten is. It’s appalling, really. 3 in the top 30? Yikes. That’s almost WAC-like. No BCS conference should ever, ever, ever be this bad, under any circumstances, and I for one am sick of it.

Who the hell “Noone”?

Thanks for the info, but how the hell Arkansas is at 37 with that joke of a schedule and record is beyond words. Further, I would venture to say that MSU is feeding off of a heavy diet of SEC success (Auburn and Kentucky) because they were crushed by WVU 38-0 in the 2nd quarter.

Just something to chew on, while Washington doesn’t appear to help Ohio State’s SOS, it depends on how deep you look.

They have the hardest schedule in the country, Ohio State 9-0, BSU 7-1, UCLA 5-3, USC 6-2, ASU 8-0, Oregon 7-1, just to name a few. Does us beating them prove that we have been tested, judging by the their record no, but if you take into consideration that we played them right after the beat BSU and were 2-0 poised to upset us and we played them at home over 3,000 miles away.

So would we get more street cred for beating the snot out of Arkansas who is 5-3, but has beaten teams with a combined record of 12-37?

Of course I’m not arguing that the Big Ten is great this year or that our OOC SOS is great, it’s not. I am just poking holes in the argument that the SEC is this supernova conference who just dominates everything in its path. And more specifically, I was making fun of 2 clowns on local radio bragging about how deep the SEC is because 10-11 teams could be bowl eligible. Big deal, Arkansas will be bowl eligible…they have beaten NOONE!

“Every criticism of the Big10 begins with Michigan losing to Appy St. and ends with Minnesota losing to ND State.”

And that alone is not enough?

arkansas is a bad example…I even bitch about their scheduling every year. you are exactly right about them playing 4 cupcakes then average going 4-4 in conference and they are 8-4 every year. but that is not representative of the rest of the conference, most of whom have built in rivalry games every year with another BCS school…for instance Clemson with us…we are also trying to play North Carolina or NCState every year if they will man up and do it.

UConn is better than last year’s Wake team. I say this because UConn’s shitty 4-8 team should have beaten Wake.

That said…I am so f’in worried for the Rutgers game this weekend. Way too much pub, way too much press, and Rutgers has at least one player that can break your heart. oh boy…come on Mike Teel…four interceptions baby!

48, No, we cant all agree on that. Michigan was very bad at the beginning of this year. Otherwise the Big10 has been okay. Every criticism of the Big10 begins with Michigan losing to Appy St. and ends with Minnesota losing to ND State. Michigan got off to an awful start and Minnesota always sucks. Thats all you are going on. Otherwise its mostly been Big10 teams losing to eachother.
