It is basically 1-3 and then the rest of the teams are pretty much exactly the same, except for their fan expecations.

Fans of USC, Michigan, PSU and Nebraska all demand more.

Then you have NW, MD and Rutgers, their fans don't even know they have a team.

Then the fans of the rest of those teams get off on making a bowl game.

I wouldn’t disregard USC, they get Oregon and Bucknuts at home.

Wisconsin, Washington and Iowa fans are pretty passionate about their football. I would put all three ahead of USC. But USC beats almost everyone in terms of having big money donors who care a lot. Just my take.

10th place is still bottom half. Are we the best bottom half team in B1G? We will see but I doubt it.

We're the best of the mediocre teams and we are perennially at the top of the league in false bravado! That counts for something, right?
