| This is a no. Illinois had their best season last year. Now they have to build up the program again. Wisconisn and Ohio St. will always be good and then Michigan will be coming back soon. Then you have Penn. St. | ||

| Yep. Id bet they never have a 10 win regular season. Last year as their best year and they went 9-3 in the regular season | ||

| No. Zook always loses games he shouldn't lose, and that will keep him out of the title race. | ||

| I think you contradict yourself here. 9-3 could be enough in a given year to win the Big Ten title. I see it as a possibility because I think it is going to take Michigan awhile to rebuild and Ohio St. was supposed to be great this year with so many returning players after the debacle against LSU, but they have showed that they are only good at best. | ||

| I think we'll see in the next few weeks what the general sentiment will be concerning LSU. If they blitz through the rest of their games and beat UGA in the Bayou, they'll be the real deal. If they fall apart like Clemson did, then all of the focus will be on Bama in the west. | ||

Wow, where do I start. I'll just let bowl season prove that the Big 10 isnt all that good. And how can you say that Ohio St. can look like Penn St. when they are firing on all cylinders? If thats the case then tOSU hasnt fired on all cylinders a single time this year...hell they apparently havent even turned the engine on. The Big 12 is WAY ahead of the Big 10. Penn St. could possibly match up with Texas, but thats where it ends. Who would match up with Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Mizzou, or OK. St.? And you can toss out the defense thing because Penn St. has been lighting up every Big 10 team. And Mizzou blew up Illinois' D. UF didnt blow out LSU worse than they did tOSU. LSU didnt gain most of their yards on the opening kick off. And its funny how you go back two years but fail to mention that LSU also beat Ohio St. last year. | ||

As far as class of the SEC, though, I'd still go with Bama at this point. Right now, I'd bet that 'Bama wins the west pretty comfortably and awaits the winner of the WLOCP to play for the conference title. How do you feel about Pryor against PSU? College Football Now had one of tOSU's analysts on to talk about the MSU game, and he said there were struggles in a number of offensive areas...Robiskie dropping balls, Pryor without a 100-yard passing game, etc. How do you feel about PSU? I know your loyalties will prevent you from annointing the Lions as the conference champs, but how do you see the conferece shaking out? In a way, PSU's win over Wisconsin is like our win over LSU. How good is Wisconsin? I've been disappointed with Belema's team this season....so, if that isn't such a great win as it seemed like it might have been in August, there may be some questions as to who Penn State has really played this year.... | ||

Florida, IMHO is one of the most wickedest teams in the country when everything is going right. Tebow is the best QB in the country IMHO, forget the imitations like McCoy, Bradford, or Daniels. Tebow is much better than they are and is rightfully deserving of being the second two time Heisman winner to tOSU's Archie Griffin. Oklahoma, Texas, or Missouri would get beat by UF, LSU, USC, UGA, tOSU, PSU, or Bama with no question. The Big 12 is kind of like the pre-madonna the Big 10 was a few years ago with a few teams looking statistically good but falling up short against good OOC competition. I would like to see either of the following teams in the NC game this year. Here are my dream matchups. Bama vs. PSU Florida vs. USC Bama vs. USC PSU vs. USC Florida vs. PSU If you can't tell I want someone to beat USC. We play them in Columbus next year and I am officially declaring right now that OHIO STATE WILL BEAT SOUTHERN CAL NEXT YEAR IN COLUMBUS!!!! | ||

| Illinois, Penn State, Ohio State, Northwestern, and Iowa all had their offenses in high gear yesterday. Nice to see the Big 10 starting to break out these new spread offenses. | ||
