The Big 10?? WTH?
After 4 weeks of play, the Big 10 is sinking faster and faster.
The teams with the best records are Ohio State (can't play in bowls), Northwestern, and Minnesota.
Northwestern & Minnesota are the best teams in the Big 10? They are the only ones who are undefeated besides OSU.

No, they are not.Originally Posted by WinterBorn
Can't help but notice that Arkansas (who was supposedly #8 in the country) lost to Louisiana Monroe, who then took Auburn to the wire. The same Auburn team LSU could barely beat. LSU was supposedly number 2 in the country and after that embarrassing win... remain number 3. Talk about over rated.

Who in the Big 10 is a top 10 team? Yeah, Arkansas folded, and LSU had trouble with Auburn. Hell, Ohio State had trouble in the first half with UAB. But the SEC still have Bama, GA, and South Carolina looking tough. And if the Gators keep improving they might surprise some folks.

Face it, the SEC has Bama. That is it.
GA and South Carolina, like LSU are vastly over rated this year.

They haven't played anyone either. The Big 10 is big time weak this year. OSU looks like they might be the best team and their only a top 20 team at best. If even that.

SC looks like it could be pretty good. Their defense is solid, they have a good RB, and their QB is playing well even under pressure.

Nebraska will be the Big 10 champ this year. OSU is going down to Mich St this weekend.

I agree on their defense... though other than Misery, they haven't really played anyone and Misery's QB has been struggling... A LOT.
That said... I think they are a top 25 team, but a top 10??? Putting them and GA up there when their toughest opponent has been Misery (who again is playing weak right now) is a bit of a stretch. The only reason they are top ten is because of their conference initials.
