The thing no one at ESPN wants to talk about is that no one knows how good any of these Big 10 teams really are.

They literally have no out of conference big wins. The top part of the Big 10 has lost every single big out of conference game they have played this year. They just beat up on each other and bad out of conference teams and then in turn get ranked higher for beating other Big 10 teams. It's really a joke.

I mean the biggest OOC win is probably Michigan beating Florida. And Florida sucks and fired there coach.

You can't make this stuff up. Northwestern who is a top 20 team, there OOC schedule is Bowling Green, Nevada and Duke. They lost to Duke BTW.

Northwestern's big win is Michigan State who's best OOC result is a loss to Notre Dame. Other than that they played Bowling Green and Western Michigan.

Ohio State is getting a lot of credit for beating Michigan State and Penn State as well and Ohio State's big OOC result is getting curb stomped by Oklahoma. Other than OKLA, they played Army and UNLV.

Penn State should be kicked out of the top 25 for there pathetic OOC schedule as they played Pitt, Akron and Georgia State.

Wisconsin is in the same boat playing Utah State, BYU and FAU. They scheduled a bunch of Mormon's basically. And Michigan played Florida, Air Force and Cinci.

They have beat up on a bunch of Mormon's and service academies.

ESPN wont mention this though. In fact if you listen to any big network covering college football they want OSU in if they win the Big 10 with 2 losses. I would say about 75% of these pundits think they should jump Miami if we lose to Clemson which is a total joke. OSU was boat raced twice once by Iowa who lost to Purdue.

If the committee is taking scheduling into account and OOC wins why are we even still talking about the Big 10? The only thing we can say about the conference is that they are not competitive nationally.

There is no way to judge what beating another ranked Big 10 team means. It's fools gold.
