Around the Big Ten

But, Illinois fumbles at own 5! Chance for six!!!

And Danny DeVito is out. Iowa may pull this out.

Iowa converts first and goal at the 4 into a 27-yd FG. Bravo!

Illinois out-kicks Iowa 9-6

When Bert was interviewed following the game he asked the interview girl, "Do you have the cheeseburger I ordered?"

[iam416]

Illinois ran for 200 agains the vaunted Iowa offense and prevailed with their backup QB. Nice win for Bert.

After this week's action, HARBAUGH!!!! remains the elite team of the B10. What can you say? He's continued his long tradition of flawless coordinator hires with Minter, who is probably as good as there is in CFB. Meanwhile, he gets a ton of credit for turning the offense into arguably the best offense in the country -- certainly with Bryce Young sidelined. I expect that they'll get a small test from Penn State, but there's zero way HARBAUGH!!!! gets outcoached by anyone, let alone Franklin.

Ohio State and Penn State are following close behind. They both have talent, but both are anchored by inadequate coaching.

Iowa is still probably 4th. I mean, at least in Kinnick. They're almost impossible to beat in Kinnick.

Illinois and the Goofer are probably 5/6.

Indiana is obviously 7. It's always an huge challenge to go to Bloomington.

After that, meh...except Northwestern is probably now 14 despite beating #13 UNL. nFw is exceptionally terrible.

I'm glad Northwestern is truly trash because usually in years where they are unbearably god-awful against junk non-conference opponents, they turn it around and go 5-3 in conference or something. Not this year.

[iam416]

Some modestly interesting stats:

Iowa has scored 7 offensive TDs all season. Ohio State scored 7 offensive TDs yesterday.

In CJ Stroud's last 2 games against Sparty, he has thrown 12 TD passes and 8 incompletions.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Iowa's gotta have a tough talk with Ferentz to either fire his son or retire.

[lineygoblue]

Everyone named Ferentz needs to be purged from Iowa City. Their time is up.

[Hannibal]

How in God’s name was the MSU vs OSU spread only 27 points? OSU covered despite playing offense for only 45 minutes and suffering a freak accident pick six.

[lineygoblue]

Stroud is going to pass for 400 yards. At least.

And I think this week he establishes himself as .#1 in the Heisman race. If he's not already.

[iam416]

During a bye week?

[lineygoblue]

Yep. That's how good he is. Even when his team is not playing, he's piling up the stats.

Amazing, he is.

[WingsFan]

I think this would work, I like it, though it's hypothetical

How do you determine a conference champion?
