After losing to the Goophers, Purdue shouldn't be ranked even after dominating TOE.
Minnesota always seems to bend over for Iowa. Also, Ohio State will be in the championship.
Bucky fans have to be getting worried with the slow slide they see under Chryst. Even with the injuries, it's amazing Running Back U started a 17 year old kid.
We'll see what happens now that Barry's gone. Can't help.
Yeah there is zero excitement in this town for badger football which is pretty incredible.
Iowa has won the last 6 vs the gophers and 8 of 9. ESPN match-up predictor only gives Minnesota a 23% chance of winning at Iowa in 3 weeks.
However Minnesota has a pretty weak schedule with ILL, Northwestern, Indiana, and Wisconsin left.
if Minnesota can pull off the upset over Iowa, they have a pretty good chance of representing the west in the Big 10 title game.
Today helped.
They looked more like Wisconsin today from what I saw.
Except for the turnovers. That's only recent WI.
If the West is historically low this year then the rest of ACC, Pac 12, and Big 12 are low also. No way to prove it but thinking Big 10 bottom half would beat all. I
I’m going to assume you don’t know how fractions work, but 1/7 West teams are ranked. 4/10 Big 12 teams are ranked.
I will agree with you though that the West is not historically bad this year. It is bad, but it has been one of the worst two P5 divisions consistently for almost a decade, so it really is just bad in a typical way.
Honestly college football in general has been down this season but it's starting to get some traction as we get closer to November.
Still looks like Georgia and everyone else although Ohio State's starting to look like themselves.

I would never classify the entirety of CFB as down, bad or good in a given year, but I think this year there are two things that jump out:
- Last year CFB was loaded with NFL QB talent that was experienced and at a lot of the top programs. This year the QBs at the top schools are less experienced. Not to mention two of the most anticipated QBs - DJ and Rattler have really fallen short of expectations
- Parity in general seems to be theme for the year. Most conferences aren't feeling nearly as dominant at the top and at this point each conference seems to have a few teams that are competitive and in the mix.
Hutchinson isn’t even close to as good as David Bell.
