If Indiana was a unit during the east west days then the divisions would’ve been REALLY imbalanced

Interesting breakdowns. Issue with the East/West setup was always that the heavy hitters were in the East. Once you got past the big 3 of OSU/Mich/PSU the rest were very comparable.

Agree....but Indiana has benefitted from having an annual matchup against Purdue. Their record before they became a power was higher than it should have been.
