That is why I brought up Rutgers, Maryland, and Indiana. Every year they have to play Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, and Ohio State and to win their division they basically have to beat all those teams. Quote Link to comment

Understand, but we are also talking about Maryland...not in the same class. Wisconsin has done more than Michigan or Penn St the last 5+ years Quote Link to comment

If Nebraska had their **** together this schedule would still be manageable. Quote Link to comment

I doubt you want Maryland's schedule next year. Just next year, maybe not every year. Although I’d like to hope we get to a point where schedules don’t scare me. Quote Link to comment

I don't understand your argument. Wisconsin has been the 2nd best B10 team since we have joined. I understand the East is better, but you are talking about Maryland who wouldn't even have a shot in the West Quote Link to comment

I understand the East is better, but you are talking about Maryland who wouldn't even have a shot in the West Ok, let's say they are the second best team in the B1G since Nebraska joined. Everyone else in the west is basically behind Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State. Iowa has a good year every 5 or so years so Ferentz can get a nice raise. What I am saying has nothing do do with Maryland other than they have to play against these team every year no matter what. Nebraska and other teams in west don't have to play against all these teams every year and they have an easier road to the championship game. As an Ohio State fan, I am fine with the way it is, but it is funny to me when you complain about crossover games. Quote Link to comment

My post never complained though, specifically stated I was just curious so I looked up the info and posted. If you take away the name, NW has done as much as Michigan has since we joined as well. Michigan lost to Iowa the last 2 times and lost to Wisconsin last year. NW just won 10 games again, but no one seemed to notice. Ohio State has nothing to worry about regardless so I doubt you care. Hopefully we can get that way with Frost in the near future Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Iowa looked good last year curb stomping Nebraska....and Ohio State. Iowa has been tough about every other year. That is Nebraska's fault, we need to put them into their place. Crossover games have been unfairly biased against Nebraska. I wish we could go back to the divisions that were leaders and legends with better names. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) I'm not arguing that the East isn't the tougher division. But I don't think it's as much tougher as people like to claim. The inter-division records are pretty even most years. Edited April 10, 2018 by Mavric Corrected grammar 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I would like to be in the East.

They need to be smacked into 1920. Quote Link to comment
