Wow Wisconsin up 21-10 with 5 minutes left in the half.

I really can’t get a read in the B1G right now, how good is Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and USC? It’s tough to have any idea how the B1G ranks up right now, especially compared to other conferences. Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon seem like the only teams capable of presenting any sort of threat in the playoffs.

Idk about even Penn State. They haven’t really played anyone and barely beat Bowling Green. They don’t look so hot against Illinois.

I think Ohio state is the best, and Oregon and Michigan are next tier. But because Michigan doesn’t have a quarterback, I expect Oregon to beat them.

But yeah Indiana, Illinois, USC, Wisconsin, etc. it’s hard to get a read if any of these teams can be playoff contenders. USC has such an easy schedule though…

My Big Ten tiers with some context would be...

1. Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State (Top 10 nationally)
2. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, USC (Top 25 nationally)
3. Rutgers, Nebraska, washington, Iowa (Just outside top 25)
4. Wisconsin, Michigan State, Maryland, Minnesota (Not Good)
5. UCLA, Northwestern, Purdue (Putrid)
