The B1G has 6 teams with at least 10 wins this season. How many teams in your conference have at least 10 wins?
In the era of playing FCS level teams so often in OOC? It's going to happen more and more.

10 wins doesn't mean what it used to back in the 80's and 90's.

We all know now that the B1G championship between MSU and Iowa was the overrated as fuck game.

My argument? I'm saying Stanford is playing a 12-1 team that lost by 3 to the eventual conference champion. That's not debatable. Those are facts. And they are completely dominating them. This is all we know. Your complete speculation on where Iowa ranks against teams they haven't played is clearly something you need to make yourself feel better about your conference and it's funny. I'll stick to just dealing in facts. You can have all the fantasy you need. Sleep well bro.

Nothing I have said about my ranking of Iowa is speculation.

Their two crossover games were against teams with a 3-13 record in conference. That's a fact.

Iowa was outgained by more than 40% against Wisconsin. That's a fact.

Wisconsin lost the ball on the Iowa 1 yard line after their QB tripped on his O-Lineman. That's also a fact.

Hell, even ignoring context, surely it matters that 6-2 Wisconsin beat 6-3 USC and 3-5 Nebraska beat 5-4 UCLA, no? Or that 8-1 Stanford previously lost to 6-2 Northwestern?

Obviously the B1G needs to look hard at it's model then. If you can't get a real champion out of the conference schedule model you are currently using then fix it. There is zero excuse for not having the actual top two teams go to the CCG for any of the 12 team plus conferences, more or less those claiming that neither belonged there. That's a major business model failure.

IOWA WAS 12-1 WITH THEIR ONLY LOSS IN THE CCG AGAINST THE EVENTUAL B1G CHAMPION.

Your BS is just shit you created to make yourself feel better. Your conference gave us their champion (before Bama sent them home crying) and their runner up. This is fact. Take up the disparity with your conference commissioner.

So you thought the B1G was the best conference in America last year? Or did your "the champ is everything" point of view only develop this year.

Also, the PAC 12 gave us their runner-up. The refs took away a Wisconsin TD against them and they still lost. If all you care about is champ and runner-up, we got:

PAC Champ beats B1G RU
B1G Non-Champ or RU beats PAC RU

So even using your absurd, archaic system, the B1G still looks better than the PAC. If someone wants to say the SEC is best, that's completely defensible. The PAC? No way in hell.

Meh, Alabama was better than Auburn in 2013 but Auburn had the kick six and went to play for the National Championship.

You lost, get over it. Just because these other teams lose doesn't mean you for some reason got screwed by not being in their place. You had your chance, just like Alabama did, and you blew it.

Deal with it.

If you want to fix your conference formula to something better, then here it is - same thing I want to see the SEC do:

Get rid of divisions because it's dumb. Keep a few rival games permanent every year. Ohio St vs Michigan etc. Every team will have 2 or 3. Rotate the rest of the teams on a home and home basis, and stagger them to the best chance for equal schedules across the conference as best as possible. IE: Don't pretend you don't know a team traditionally sucks and spread them out. In the SEC for example, don't give people Vandy and Kentucky in the same year. Some years they will move around and produce good teams and traditionally good will have bad, but overall it will be fine.

Then at the end of the year take your 2 best teams and play them for the Championship. In 2011 that would have been Alabama vs LSU. As for the Big10, with the current schedules you are still getting Iowa and Michigan St, but if you had more equal schedules Iowa probably isn't there to start with.

Either way, this year you lost, quit crying.
