I think it should be
Bruce,
The entire Big Ten West is garbage outside Iowa’s defense and special teams. Maryland, Rutgers, Indiana and MSU are all trash too. Michigan played one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country. They beat a very good Ohio State team and a Penn State team with a quarterback that was very poor on the day. Pretty much the same as the last two years and both times Michigan has been bounced in the semifinals of the playoffs. Not sure the current Big Ten is helping the top teams for the postseason. Penn State played West Virginia but the other two non conference games were jokes. Credit to OSU for beating the Irish on the road but that was the conferences only quality nonconference win.
Top to bottom Pac12 was better, at the top I’d say even, with Ohio State and Oregon. B1G kind of falls off the cliff after Penn State, and Penn State not that great anyway.
You’re kidding right. Not a big enough venue. You need more seating. Love Wrigley, being a Cub fan but come on if you’re a college football fan you know it isn’t big enough for a big bowl game.
I know you guys hate me but no I'm not joking. I know there was a hang up about what conferences would be playing in the bowl game
Crazylegs777 Love your monitcur, 😊 its just not big enough. Maybe for NAIA Championship, Division 3 but not D1. It would be great don’t get me wrong, but it just doesn’t have enough seating.
I'm passionate about HS Football. I don't have a filter so that gets me in trouble. I'd rather hurt you with the truth then devastate you with a lie. And even though i might get on your nerves(not just you) or make people mad on here I'd take a knife or bullet for you guys
MCHS,
Corey for a middling bowl I think it works from a seating standpoint, from a field standpoint and having to kick in only one end zone and having both teams on a single sideline, I agree that hosting a bowl would be a challenge at best.
Hahahaha
This is most likely correct. I think if this was next year with the 12 team playoff, they might have slotted them as low as 8 below Georgia, OSU and Oregon.
Both FSU and Georgia will be plenty motivated but also missing lots of players that opt out to prepare for the draft.
Thats the thing, between the portal and the players getting ready for potential draft/pro career, bowl games lose a lot of players. I’m sure the teams out there are trying, but a lot of the talent we’ve watched all season isn’t there.
9 out of 10 years I'd agree B1G is stronger, but this isn't the year. The B1G West is horrifying and after Penn State, there isn't a team in the B1G East that makes me nervous. Agree to disagree here, it's just a really down year in the B1G overall.
