Second consecutive game Iowa embarrasses the conference.

Ehh...I seem to recall Northern Iowa almost beating us the year we scored 63 points in 38 minutes against the Huskers.

BIG is the only major conference W/out an OC loss so far. Hopefully we don't ruin it.

So far, the B1G is 10-0 with four games to go. Northwestern could be in trouble. Nebraska's defensive coordinator is not very coordinated.

My Top 5 B1G games in Week 1

1. Florida vs Michigan - Florida is playing a regular season OOC game outside of Florida! But it is one of the better games in the country. I see both teams in their conference title race, but neither are being considered the favorite.

2. Utah at Wisconsin - Utah has become a dangerous team in the Pac 12. Wisconsin is favored to win the B1G West. It could set up a good game. Utah has been good in big games vs OOC opponents.

3. Maryland at Texas - Both programs have been struggling the last few seasons. Both have new coaches. Both are expected to have better seasons than last few seasons.

4. Ohio State at Indiana - This will probably be a blowout, but this is probably the most meaningful game in week 1 for the B1G. Could be a trap game as well.

5. Wyoming at Iowa - There is a lot of hype with Wyoming's QB. If they can block Iowa's pass rush, Iowa could be the embarrassing B1G team of week 1 and would not look good going into a pass happy Cyclone team.

Honorable Mention

Louisville vs Purdue - This might not be a great game, but Purdue does have a team that is built around the passing game and a coach who has had great success with it at MTSU.

Nevada at Northwestern - I think Northwestern will be in the B1G West race this year heading into November. They have a strong defense and one of the best RBs in the country.
