I just can't believe we're in the same conference as Michigan and Ohio State. It's like playing a few Bowl Games every year. 

Surreal.

Every D1 team has a few creampuff games

Sure, but the quality of our first three opponents is disappointing. Bucks should have scheduled one legit non-conference team.

(Welcome to the B1G, USC....)

It is.

All 4 former PAC 12 teams added are very good programs. Add in Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State. Wisconsin and Iowa are no pushovers. Rutgers and Maryland were weak teams until joining the B1G conf. Now they're teams you can't overlook or you'll get upset. Michigan State has had many competitive years, though trending lower recently. Even the 'lesser' teams can be dangerous - teams like Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota. One or more of those teams pull off a shocker it seems each season.

The Big-10, Big-12, or The SEC conferences talent levels are just ridiculous. 

They are going to have to expand the playoffs. Just no getting around it now.

Yup.

If they keep stacking more talent, some of those conference championships may produce even better games than some of the playoff games.

It's a 12 team playoff now.

It's a 12 team playoff now.

It's probably going to need to be 16 honestly...

Maybe. 12 is good for now. I like the 12 team format because, for one, it gives the top 4 ranked teams a 1st round bye. I think a team earns that if they are a top 4 team.

You guys are just jealous because Michigan State is atop the Big 10 standings

lol they and Maryland are the only ones to play a conference game, I'm shocked they won.
Remind me, where are they ranked nationally?

Let me ask this; so the teams that have played conference games understandibly have a conference ranking....the teams that do not... does it go alphabetically?

If they are tied in conference record, then it goes to the national record as the tiebreaker.

[Jeff]

The Dawgs didn't look good at all against Kentucky and dropped a point in the rankings, rightfully so.
Oooof.

Texas looking unstoppable.

[Jeff]

Michigan's O-line still can't block, and our qb Warren was 11-14 with 3 picks. 2 of them were entirely his fault. Stupid throws. How this man got the starting job is beyond me.
I think we'll see Tuttle against USC this coming Saturday, he's got experience and has proven he can be a leader. Is he the savior we need? Time will tell. But it sure as fuck isn't Warren.

3-0, baby! Hey, it's not our fault that there was only one conference game; you gotta play who you play, and you gotta beat who you play, even if they are high school teams like Prairie View A&M. If we win one of the next two I'll be shocked, and we will have matched out total from last year.

As far as national rankings go, we are off the charts
