Indiana seems to be holding
Absolutely... if we go to the playoffs and get routed good luck ever getting the benefit of the doubt again.
If we cant win it I'd rather sit it out too
We've all watched the same games this season. MD is not a good team and we squeaked by. Purdue, also not a good team, and we didn't. 10-1, and that's good, but one has to be a blind homer to like this season.
Further, the overall Big Ten quality... from us, to the Peds, to Sparty, to that other team.... just doesn't feel right. Yeah, the SEC games the schedule to pad their stats, but measure this year's B1G vs itself historically and I see discipline, execution, fight, and fire issues.
If we want the conference to get the benefit of the doubt, we need to be the Big Ten of a decade or two ago and play quality football.
For example, just now, IU loses a fumble..... 2 plays later, *ichigan throws an interception. It's exciting football, but it's not good football.
