Disclaimer... This will be a poor thread. But I am bored and just waiting for football to start.
I'm wondering how people would rank the programs in the current BIG (so not including UCLA or USC). Number one through the rest, in order, from programs you like the least to maybe those you actually think are ok. Here are mine.
1) Wisconsin
2) Michigan
3) Iowa
4) Ohio State
5) Nebraska
6) Purdue
7) Michigan State
8) Penn State
9) Maryland
10) Rutgers
11) Illinois
12) Indiana
13) Northwestern
Mine goes like this:
1) Penn State... just don't like the university... can't get over the Sandusky/Paterno scandal
2) Wisconsin... Because it is Wisconsin
3) Nebraska ... Constantly overrated
4) Iowa... Because they are Iowa
5) Maryland... Are they really a Big Ten school?
6) Rutgers... Are they really a Big Ten school?
7) Michigan State
8) Indiana
9) Michigan
10) Illinois
11) Northwestern
12) Purdue - I always liked their colors and uniforms. Current coach makes it harder to cheer for them.
13) Ohio State - I only ranked them this low, or high, because they consistently give the Big Ten the best chance to beat an SEC team in the playoffs.
