Big Ten weakness in NCAA 2005

[Mr.FuzzyPants]

I don't know if this has been posted before but as I just started a new dynasty i cant help but notcing the weakness of good teams in the big ten such as wisky, Iowa, Purdue, etc. Going into week 7 Wisconsin is 3-2, Iowa is 3-2, and Purdue is 2-2. My Ohio State team is the only undefeated team in the Big Ten and the only Big Ten team in the top 15. Meanwhile the big 12 has 4 teams in the top 15, the acc has 4, and the sec has 4 in the top 15. This seems like a classic bias that the Big 12, SEC, and just recently the ACC are more of power conferences than the Big Ten used by the developers.

In my tOSU dynasty, scUM is usually a 1-2 loss team including the game I play against them. I think it rotates as to which conferences are strong/weak. Mostly a random thing.

I've done a few dynasties for a year or so just for the heck of it and every time the Big10 as whole is pretty sad. Usually, only 3-4 are ranked and 1-2 are ranked in the top 15..Now, I just got done playing every game of the first dynasty season and beat an undefeated Michigan 23-3 on all-american. OSU and Michigan were #3 and #4 in the BCS rankings. Minnesota was #10 and Wisconsin was something like 20.

By the way, took Oklahoma 17-0 for the title. Underwood, Sims, and Schlegel were 1st team all-americans. Schlegel had 22 sacks. Ross led the country in TD's...ok, so I used certain guys alot.

in my first dynasty, iowa rose to #2 before getting beat the week before the NC game against me. im now on my 3rd restarted dynasty because i keep wanting to do things a little differently.

i am now doing a 3 team dynasty with OSU, Syracuse, and Miami (fl.). OSU for obvious reasons, Syracuse to build up a bad team, and Miami to ignore all the discipline warnings to see how badly they can get on probation

i was confused as hell in my first year of dynasty iowa played me tough but managed to lose like 7 games on the season.. but yea, im running an 18 game winning streak into mich st tonight. although for the conference thing im disgusted that right now the sec has i believe 5 top ten teams, georgia, lsu, florida, south carolina, and i believe tennesee.. sickening.. im gonna have to start scheduling them to knock em back down to earth.

I wonder if Lemming did some consulting on the game because in every dyanasty I play for 2-3 years, Noter Dame usually turns into a top 5 team by 2007. Penn State was up to #3 the last time I played them, and Iowa, Purdue, and Michigan are always tough. Michigan just can never get through the pre-conference schedule unscathed. Meanwhile, in the most recent one I did, I noticed that both Oklahoma and Florida State started out 1-5.

I love how someone from the MAC, usually Toledo, makes the top 10 every year.
