Are We The Best Team In The B1G? Rank Em!

The best team in the B1G is the one that plays the least sh*ttiest on any given week. And yes I lump Nebraska in there when all they've done is in week one beat a team that just got smoked by Western Kentucky and in week three beat an Idaho high school team..

Ranking based on pure Win-Loss merit 4 games into the season is also silly. There's a lot more to be said for looking at talent, players at individual positions, stats, and general eye-testing (in other words, a pure power ranking) rather than saying, well Northwestern is 4-0 so they're clearly best!

 
One thing is certain; however you choose to rank the teams, the drop-off between the #7 and #8 team in this conference is gigantic.

Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State are all awful (don't let Minnesota fool you)

 
Being the best team in the B1G this year is sort of like bragging about being the tallest midget in the circus. But, yes, I think the Huskers are probably the best team in the conference right now, except for maybe Ohio State who are ineligible.

 
I think Nebraska needs to get their crap in order before we even consider them the top team in the conference.

In my opinion though, all the games are way more winnable than they were last year when the Huskers were favored to win the division. It's almost the opposite of last year. Underachieve when predicted high, overachieve when predicted mediocre.

Not one team in this conference *with the possible exception of Northwestern has their crap in order. And NW doesn't have the talent to beat us if we're healthy.

 
LOL. I just posted the "tallest midget" analogy in another thread that suggested Nebraska to the Rose Bowl.

Makes ya proud, doesn't it.

We may well be the best. If this is how we win the B1G, then so be it I guess.

Someone has to win. The good team is ineligible.

And, if we win it uncontested, we have one more trophy. Which is more than some of the teams in the league.

I hope next year the B1G is more respectable and we can actually brag about the wins. Presuming, of course, that we end up with anything to brag about this year. Egads.

Still, I'd prefer this over the Bevo League. This at least, is temporary. That disaster is forever, or until Texas tires of the mess and moves on.

I still think we could easily lose to Ohio St. Tough games against NU and Michigan.
