That's what happens when you're a commuter school with a low graduation rate

So, yeah the Big Ten is not doing itself any favors today in changing the national perception.

McNesse St had 2 great chances to take the lead... one a touchdown run negated by a penalty... then a dude was wide open but the QB didn't lob the ball over a lineman and it was batted down. 24-24 with under 5 to go. Would be awesome to see an upset.

Me too but after the 3 missed the tackle....#8 or #9 (couldn't tell) blocked the waiting guy in the back.....IMO a definite violation but no call.

That will be determined starting at 630.

Western is much better than Central, but Purdue handled Western and got crushed by Central. Basically, it means Purdue sucks and that projections on most teams not in the top 40 or so, are worthless.

Western has sucked ass the past 2 years, I don't think I would say they're better than Central right now

I guess it depends where you looked. I saw both projected in the middle of the pack, but saw CMU usually below them. Neither are "good", but the results were hugely different.

Well, Iowa isn't helping right now.
Northern Illi is also beating Northwestern and Maryland is also losing.

The B1G looks like a joke right now.

Lol the B1G is such a joke. Even 3 wins tonight from OSU, Sparty, and UM can't save it.

It is a joke, and has been for years. But if they go 3-0 tonight the top of the conference retains enough credibility for playoff purposes.

Nobody is going to care that Iowa and Nebraska looked bad if the cream rises. They won't go 3-0, so the point will be moot.
