More stats, for those intersted.

Interested to see who has done the best or worst in the BIG10 against top 25 and top 10 teams over the last 10 years.

Mich St surprised me that they were that high in both categories. Michigan surprised me they were that low. Talk about a team that under performs their recruiting rankings the last 10 years wow.

Nice work, and most recruits see this too.
It shows we are out recruiting our coaching, which isn't a surprise.

I had the same thought. If our coaching could match or better our recruiting we would be pretty salty. Coach Frost is starting to remedy this though.

His record at ucf showed he can, and ucf is still a very good team.
Credit their new staff for not rocking the boat, but reality will soon step in for them , and on the Big for us.

Michigan is surprising on both lists, but them going 1-17 versus the Top 10 is hard to believe.

I thought so too. I checked it 3 or 4 times. Its accurate.

 

[HominidHusker]

This also kind of debunks myths about the West being so inferior to the East.
Have to give props to Mich St, Wisky, Iowa, NW for all putting legit teams out there despite pretty low recruiting levels.
Time for Frosty to start moving us up these rankings.

Never looked at it that way but, yes it really does.

I believe it. Been a tough decade.

Go Blue!

I’d guess people say that because the west never wins the conference..

I’d guess people say that because the west never wins the conference..

Probably, However, it has been 5 straight years. Ohio St has won 3 of them. As we know teams, division, conf go in cycles. 5 years is too small of time frame to suggest one division is far superior. Short term yes the East has had better success. Long term I have a feeling it will even out.

That’s it. Plenty of examples during the season that show there really isn’t a difference in divisions aside from names. Iowa/OSU, Purdue/OSU, NW almost beat Michigan last year. Iowa/Michigan three seasons ago. Nebraska/MSU last year.
