It's what makes watching even a good SEC game difficult. ESPN/ABC employees just throating the conference for about 3 hours. 

The bias in the rankings is what really annoys me. Why in the world is this mid Tennessee team ranked 14th and Oklahoma ranked 18th when Iowa isn’t ranked at all? They ranked basically every SEC team at the start of the season and then leave them ranked unless the bottom completely falls out.

Aren’t the CFP rankings supposed to be from complete scratch?

Technically, its an improvement

We’ll find out how real that is on Tuesday, because we should be #1 at this point.

Toiletmakers holding their own against Michigan.  7-7 with 5 min. left in the 1st half.

Man if Michigan runs the table and we face them in the big ten title game this is going to be glorious

I keep thinking USC is playing Northwestern. It’s driving me crazy.

Ohio State's schedule is a joke! Every game they have played against a competitive opponent has been at home, except Illinois and they have proven not to be a very good football team! The only game left on their schedule that should give them any concern is at Michigan, and watching them tonight, I see clear sailing into the B1G Championship for them!

Without a doubt we have two wins better than them.

Yes but beating ranked teams carries some weight and since every 1 and 2 loss SEC team gets ranked they play in a lot of “ranked” games.

The fact that IU winning at Iowa was not a ranked victory is a joke when you see, as an example, a team like TN ranked 14th (their 3 SEC wins were against teams 0-13 in the conference prior to today).  

It is what it is but the positive is that while the 1/2 loss BT teams get little respect IU doesn’t really have any (so far) complaints.

Nah, according to the human megaphones in SEC country, no B1G 10 team has any good wins. Heck, even IU’s win over Oregon pales in comparison to A&M’s stirring victory over the wagon that is Notre Dame, at least according to those “experts.”

The B1G schedule is what it is.  And we were on the other end of the "schedule is a joke" last year.

[RoadRage 3,355]

Purdue gets a huge break, Michigan fumbles through the end zone for a touchback.....score remains 14-10 Michigan!

You are correct, we had a very similar schedule last  season....

Raiola in the tent. Not looking good even with a lead
