And, of course, 3 B10 teams sit just outside top 25. And coaches' poll, the one that actually counts, has yet to come out.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Correcting the record? Last night you said "wildly inaccurate", does that no longer apply at 12:07 this afternoon?Atlanta, GA

No, it still does. The B10 has at least 3 ranked teams, assuming UNL isn't dropped by the coaches.

Rocky I've seen two Iowa games and two Indiana games in their entirety. Neither of these teams are great maybe not even good but they have an identity and play a consistent game. I think that's the difference. M is both a bad football team and has no identity other than it is massively inconsistent and suffers from unimaginative coaching. I'd even give Ferentz an edge here over Hoke but certainly cut from the same cloth.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Rocky and Jeff - You both ranked Indiana below Penn State, but yet they beat Penn State?
Here's how I'd rank them
OlieO - By default. Nobody else wants to be better than them
Wisc - Again by default. Nobody other than OlieO seems to have their number
Neb - Quietly improving, probably the favorite for the 2nd seed in the CCG
MSU - Even Dumbtonio managed to find an effective offense.
NW - OlieO loss took a lot of starch out of them.
Iowa - They're better than Indiana, but that's not saying much
Indiana - Who would have ever thought they'd learn to play football in Bloomington?
Penn State - They edge out Michigan for this spot because they won the playoff.
Michigan - They "Sybil" of college football. Nobody knows what to expect.
Illinois - Below this, who cares?
Minny - See above
Purdue - DittoLast edited by lineygoblue; October 13, 2013, 01:04 PM."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"

Besides Obrien just coached the game of his life with 65 scholarship players. That puts him and his team clearly up there, IMO.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

I think OSU and Wisconsin are legitimately good teams.
Nebraska and MSU are getting there.
Michigan and NW have the potential to show up and beat a top team.
Iowa, IU and PSU are basically NW/M with the possible upside.
Illinois and Goofers are bad and Purdue is horrific.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

4 different B10 teams ranked. For some reason that I can't discern, the coaches keep M in the top 25 with Wisky sitting at 26.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Next week:
Auburn @ Texas A&M
Florida @ Missouri
Wisconsin @ Illinois
Indiana @ Michigan
Purdue @ MSU
Minnesota @ Northwestern
Nebraska = BYE
Auburn, who barely deserves their AP ranking, will be back amongst the great unwashed. Missouri will have a big drop or Florida will fall out completely.
Meanwhile the 4 favored Big10 teams will all win, IMO.

If the rest of the coaches would stop f'ing things up and get their collective heads out of their asses, team 134 does have potential.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.
