This was a good weekend for scouting opponents and getting excited to possibly beat opponents before remembering we have Darrell Hazell to screw it up. Nevada, Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, and Northwestern all looked beatable if we had any kind of coaching staff. Even Wisconsin, the highest ranked team left on our schedule, almost lost at home to Georgia State in a game they slept through. If it wasn’t for Michigan State doing the Lord’s work and both Ohio State and Nebraska getting big wins it would not have been a good weekend for the conference.
Basically, the top is really strong, but after the Big three in the East the conference looks bad.
