Kiyoat Husker Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Division overall winning percentage past two decades (East in Blue...for obvious reasons) Ohio State 0.796 (elite group) Nebraska 0.704 (contenders group) Penn State 0.692 Michigan 0.691 Wisconsin 0.690 Iowa 0.568 (always bowl-elligible group) Michigan State 0.553 Purdue 0.504 (middling group) Northwestern 0.494 Maryland 0.478 Rutgers 0.435 (punching bag group) Minnesota 0.433 Illinois 0.389 (doormat group) Indiana 0.338 Nice analysis. I put in spaces that represent about .05, or 5% jumps to help separate groups... over a 20 year span the balance is not too bad. Ohio State is obviously the one that tips the balance, but that would be the case no matter where you put them. We just need to do our part and win a few more games, and then the balance will be restored with us as an "elite" in the conference. I would love to see NU-Wisc be the de-facto West title game, and NU-tOSU be the frequent B1G title game in most years! Would really foster some meaningful rivalries with those teams.
