futurecoach Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 By the looks test I'd say you're right. I still think they can play with anyone though. I have to disagree. I think we have seen that teams from the Big 10 usually cant play with many other top teams. Seems like the last 3 years or so Big 10 teams look better than they really are by beating other overranked teams in their conference. Iowa I believe barely beat two division 2A schools this year, and took them to literally the last second to beat a 4 and 4 team. I give them credit because they keep finding ways to win. However you really think they would play with these other teams who are faster, better offenses, and quicker defenses? I just don't see it.

That team wasn't as talented and wasn't anywhere close to being at the athletic level of the Miami team they played, but the Bucks still "won". Yes, what team would just destroy them? UF or Bama might, but they beat or at least play with everyone else IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot I don't think they even beat this years OSU team. Playing in the Big 10 makes teams look better than they really are. We have seen that for the last few years, and I dont see this year being any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama Larry Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Bama is off, but have LSU at home on the 7th. We win that one and we are in the SEC Championship Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
