Ohio St blown out by a Big10 West team for the 2 year in a row.

Michigan is really the only team of note still really, mostly because of their OOC loss to Notre Dame and victory over Wisconsin.

But 4 teams in the Big10 west have only 1 conference loss:

Northwestern: 4-1 - with wins over east opp Michigan St and Rutgers
Iowa - 3-1 - with wins over east opp Indiana and shutout Maryland today
Purdue - 3-1 - with wins over east opp Ohio St, no east losses, conference loss to NW
Wisconsin - 3-1 - lost to Michigan, no other east games.

On the east side:

Michigan: 5-0 - wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern - only legit Big10 East team
Ohio St: 4-1 -losses to Purdue, struggle win over Minnesota basically everyone
Penn St: 2-2 - losing to east teams, win over Illinois
Michgan St: 2-2 lost to NW and Michigan - no east wins
Maryland 2-2 - yes, Maryland is equal conference records with these teams...win over Minn, loss to Iowa.

Not looking too good for the Big10 East so far.

West and East split in 14 and 15. West won in 16. East won in 17. This year I think it's even ( West may be up 1 ). It's been close since they implemented the divisions . East is generally slightly better at the top while the West is usually deeper

yeah, there's a pretty big dropoff from OSU/MSU/UM/PSU to Indiana/Maryland... and then Rutgers. Illinois has the only real pushover in the West, especially now that Purdue's returned to being a respectable program.

The West gets beat up because the east keeps winning the title game but the reality is 3 of the 4 title games ( 15, 16, 17 ) could've easily gone the other way and the West wins their fair share vs the top of the East in the regular season . The divisions are actually pretty close for being a straight geographical split

Kinda hope Iowa makes it to the CCG, I think they might could beat Michigan.

Might not get the chance since they lost to Wisconsin though.

They will get a chance, they just need to win out because Wisconsin won't.

How I would look at it is

Who is Top 3?
Who is the next 3?
Who is the next 3?
Who is the bottom 3?

How I would do it is

Top 3 - East wins
Next 3 - West wins
Next 3 - East wins
Bottom 3 - West wins

So, I would say East is still the better division.

Clemson maybe before it's all said and done.

Texas vs A&M would be a good one this year.
