    Worst in Big Ten? Hardly

    Naive, and intellectually dishonest. It wasn't a hostile takeover, or a crusade with an occupying army. No one forced Rutgers or Maryland to join the B1G either. If they didn't like the terms, they were welcome to stay in the AAC and ACC. It was a cash grab by the conference, yes. Don't...

    Big Ten Realignment

    Except they you're opening up to playing back-to-back weeks. No one wants that (except maybe the TV guys).

    Worst in Big Ten? Hardly

    I don't think it's about fans of programs think they're royalty. I think it's more about history and objection to change. As I mentioned, a significant number of B1G fans didn't want teams 13 and 14, no matter who they were. A significant number didn't want Penn State or Nebraska. It's about...

    Worst in Big Ten? Hardly

    I'm not saying Rutgers is bad or uncompetitive in all sports. But they also haven't yet won a conference title. Maryland has 20. Combine that with the 9 conference wins the basketball team had before last year and Ash era in football and it doesn't paint a pretty picture. Let's take them one...

    Football Rutgers opens as -50.5 point underdogs to OSU

    You never know what may happen when the young guys get in. Though the limited travel roster also limits how far down the depth chart they can go.

    Worst in Big Ten? Hardly

    At present, they have 7 wins. That's a winning record. But yes, they've struggled to get over the hump to a winning record or bowl game. Rutgers gets a lot of crap for a combination of things. I don't know that the current Rutgers run is as bad or worse than some of the names you mentioned...

    Football Rutgers opens as -50.5 point underdogs to OSU

    Hard to say lay 50+ points, but I'd put the mortgage, the college fund, the rainy day fund, and anything else you can get your hands on on over 55.

    Big Ten Realignment

    I automatically dislike any proposal that splits up Ohio State and Michigan :Laughing. Personally, I'd like to see an "Inside" and "Outside" split. Relatively balanced and keeps all major rivalries in tact without any permanent crossover games. Only issue would be travel for the "Outside"...

    Worst in Big Ten? Hardly

    Assume here you meant before this season? Because at present Indiana is ranked and has guaranteed a winning season.

    Can we do better than Maryland?

    What to the LSU and Bama DBs have to do with a game against Ohio State?

    Recommended B1G 10 Conference Realignment

    @Plum Street is mostly right...except the league does want Ohio Stste and Michigan playing for the title, hence the original split in the "Leaders" and "Legends" divisions. The schools and fans however, want none of it. And with good cause. If they have to play again the very next week, the...

    Can’t wait for Schiano to make us #1

    In 2018 Ohio State spent $944k. Rutgers spent $824k. Michigan and Penn State were both pushing $1.4 million.

    LSU the new #1.

    Minnesota and Ohio State win out. One loses close in the title game, winner is 13-0, loser is 12-1. More likely, but still A longshot: Ohio St dominates everyone except a close win at home against Penn State. PSU wins the rest of their games. Bama loses to LSU and Auburn, LSU wins the SEC...

    UPDATE: Rutgers-Illinois Line For Next Week Is Out: Illinois -21pts.

    I don't think they covered against FAU, but have covered the rest fairly easily. This was from a Vegas oddsmaker about a week ago:

    Urban Meyer November 6th 1869.... FSU

    I won't say Urban will never coach again, because he wouldn't even say that...but I've got a mortgage payment I'll bet that he won't be the coach of Rutgers, Florida State, or anywhere in the NFL. FWIW (which is nothing, obviously) I do happen to believe he's done coaching. Would I be...
