cm husker Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Nicely done. As maligned as the standard is, consistently achieving that standard is quite impressive. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Impressive, but without a conference title since 1999 really is misleading. 1 Quote Link to comment

cm husker Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Impressive, but without a conference title since 1999 really is misleading. Reality is, with an 6 team division, winning that is similar to what winning the old conference is like. The difference being that you may get lucky with your cross-division schedule in a way that allows you to "back into" a division title. Meaning, a team can lose head-to-head against a div foe, but still win the division if that foe had a harder cross-div schedule. Winning a conference champ isn't the same as it used to be simply due to the nature of larger conferences. 3 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Wait...where is Michigan State? Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wait...where is Michigan State? They are a recent phenom, and were very mediocre before Dantonio resurrected them. 9-3 was a huge season for them before he came along. Quote Link to comment

They were garbage for 50 years before Dantonio with the notable exception of the one year Saban did well with them and he parlayed that into the LSU job. Quote Link to comment

We have 7 teams in our division alone, 1 less team than the entire Big 8 conference. 1 Quote Link to comment
