Fully agree that winning the Big Ten in football will be next to impossible with the way the top talent in college football is consolidated at a handful of schools some of whom are in the Big Ten.There are a lot of delirious people in here....We are not good, and now that we added the Pac 10 teams we will be perennial bottom feeders. The only reason they stay in the Big 10 is to get TV money. It defiantly not because we will ever have shot winning in the Big 10
But doesn't mean we are going to be relegated to bottom feeder status. We can and should be able to compete with the vast majority of the conference on a year to year basis.
It will be tough/nearly impossible to crack the Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Oregon, Penn State tier.....but that still leaves 12 teams we should realistically be able to compete with. Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana, Rutgers, UCLA, Washington, Nebraska, Michigan State and Maryland.
But hey....if our being delirious and thinking we can compete bothers you so much don't let the door hit you on the way out.
