So did Michigan lose or did the Big 10 East lose? Just trying to clarify if conferences are individual entities who play sports against each other or if they are one entity divided into 10-14 groups who play against each other.

 

You lost.

You lost.

Exactly. OSU lost. That's all anyone should care about. If Bama loses to Clemson it's not an indictment on the SEC it's an indictment on Bama. The same with every other school.

I didn't mean OSU.

 

And it's an indictment on the entire conference when the division goes 0-5.

What do you mean I lost? The only team I rooted for that lost was OSU. I don't care about the entire conference. I care about OSU. Those top 10 wins in conference were nice this year, but if OSU takes care of business every year they are in the playoff so I have nothing to worry about.

As someone who roots for a team in neither conference I do find this thread funny. Mainly because when the SEC had a bad bowl record last year I remeber calls of the SEC being dead on this board.

The SEC actually had a good bowl record last year.

Two years ago then I mean. Whenever all the top teams lost.

If you don't care about conferences why did you spend half the year trying to convince everyone the SEC was garbage and the Big 10 was on top.

This thread should go into the classic forum. We can all look back on it next season when it pops up again lol.

I wasn't for the 10 billionth time. The Big 10 had more good teams in it than any other conference. That's not an opinion. They basically had 4 teams in the top 10 for the entire year all I was doing was stating what the committee was already telling you. That in no way means I care about conferences or how the Big 10 matches up to the SEC or ACC or whatever. I don't care. The bottom half of the Big 10 was trash. The top half was pretty good. All I care about is Ohio State and how they are perceived relative to other teams across the country.

You can say you weren't until you blew in the face, your posts say different. And just because the committee overrated them doesn't make them good. Penn St is the probably the only one that was ranked correctly, the rest were not top ten teams.

Im SEC thru and thru, but I did buy the Big 10 koolaide when I should have been buying the ACC off brand. The ACC has kicked my butt:isurrender:

I think I know what I said and didn't say. But come on OSU and Michigan weren't top 10 teams? Get out of here with that.

Honestly, the bolded is in fact an opinion. Whether it be yours, the pollsters, etc, its all based on someone's opinion. People get things wrong sometimes and in this case, I think most would agree that the BiG wasn't as good as advertised.

You lost.

 

By my count both of your teams lost.
