We always play one or two outstanding programs compared to other major football programs. I also find it to be messed up that TCU pulled out of the first game of the year against Ohio State. If they wanted to play for the national title they should have taken the money like Navy and seen if they could beat a real team. Way to think that one through TCU......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-89040016096681125032009-10-19T08:00:29.759-04:002009-10-19T08:00:29.759-04:00People who use sagarin ranking and stats are peopl...People who use sagarin ranking and stats are people that don't know how to argue and don't actually know anything about football themselves.<br /><br />THIS DECADE, the Big Ten has a WINNING RECORD AGAINST EVERY CONFERENCE IN THE FBS INCLUDING ALL BCS CONFERENCES.<br /><br />The Big Ten has been 2nd fastest in all NFL combines for the past 11 years running, only behind the ACC who has been the fastest at NFL combines for the past 15 years. So there's falsifying the "fat and slow".<br /><br />Oregon would have finished with 3 guaranteed losses to Ohio State, Penn State, and Iowa last year in the Big Ten, get over yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-81377300321450164202009-10-13T11:45:43.839-04:002009-10-13T11:45:43.839-04:00Oregon would have won the Big 10 last year and pro...Oregon would have won the Big 10 last year and probably would this year as well.<br /><br />Go look at the Sagarin conference ratings - top to bottom - for this decade. The Big 10 has been the 5th or 6th best conference over the past 3-4 years.<br /><br />Big and physical translates to fat and slow vs the Pac 10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-37324598400659273952009-10-13T08:01:05.515-04:002009-10-13T08:01:05.515-04:00The fact of the matter is the Pac-10 has 1 good te...The fact of the matter is the Pac-10 has 1 good team, that's USC. Penn State vs. Oregon or Cal I would take Penn State anyday. Same with Iowa over Oregon or Cal. Then who's next best in the Pac-10? Oregon State? Stanford (so far)? I'd take Michigan over them any day of the week. <br /><br />Then it's a toss up the rest of the way. After Michigan gets things rolling in the next few years or maybe even next year the Big Ten will have four good teams in the conference. 2 elite being Ohio State and Michigan, and Penn State will continue their being elite once every few years.<br /><br />The Pac-10 will only still have 1 elite team, that being USC. The rest of the way down at best will be average.<br /><br />Ohio State is an elite team, what you just said was foolish and you are misinformed. Ohio State is second in the country in NFL caliber talent only next to USC. Look at the Draft numbers from Florida, they don't produce much NFL talent at all.<br /><br />The Pac-10 had by far the weakest bowl schedule last year of the BCS conference, they play 9 conference games in their own weak ass conference and they only play 1 good team (with the exception of the elite OOC team some play every year) and that's USC.<br /><br />So it's not hard to understand why people would think the Pac-10 is better than the Big Ten.<br /><br />The Big Ten on the other hand you have to play Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, and Iowa is always a sleeper to be a great team.<br /><br />So why don't you take your misinformed ass and leave this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-45655165045313147932009-10-12T11:55:20.503-04:002009-10-12T11:55:20.503-04:00Ohio lives off of the MAC and YSU...the Pac 10 has...Ohio lives off of the MAC and YSU...the Pac 10 has been rated better than the Big 10, top to bottom, almost annually this decade - check out the Sagarin ratings. Better yet, count the bowl wins over the years for the Big 10.<br /><br />I would rather win games on a big stage and slip up once in a while than continually lose in primetime. How many 'game of the century' contests on national TV can be wasted with Ohio St?<br /><br />Ohio St is a good team...not a great team and certainly not an elite team.<br /><br />Remember, quantity does exceed quality...and Ohio St has 0 quality wins in the past few seasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-82765902636378486552009-10-10T23:45:24.388-04:002009-10-10T23:45:24.388-04:00That is what I love about Ohio State.
