I’m glad someone finally said it. A lot of average to below average in the B1G West. The league has done a great job of rebranding mediocrity as “toughness.” Really a shame Neb hasn’t had their s*** together these last few years. The division has been up for grabs for years, hard not to think we left some on the table.

The west is obviously not comparable to the east, but it's been a strong division. It's just down this year specifically. Last year you had Iowa through Purdue all with 9 wins or better, during the COVID year NW and Iowa finished #10 and #15, and the year before it was #11 Wisconsin, #10 Minnesota and #15 Iowa.

Definitely agree with this.  I have threads around here somewhere where I was tracking the East/West matchups each year.  Most years were MUCH closer than the prevailing opinion warranted.

 

This year I would say is a different story.

It’s early in the season to really judge division strengths.  Lets see how the next 3 weeks play out at least.  The west vs East may turn out like it has been.  I think the west is a tad under appreciated while east maybe overrated.  Some of it is scheduling imbalance.  MI and OSU tend to overshadow imo but there is a good deal of parity across the middle 8-10 teams in both sides.  
 

The expansion may really screw things up.  They drop divisions could really hurt the conference perception as league will beat itself up.  It’s a gauntlet that will get even tougher imo.

Aren't they just stealing that strategy from every team in the SEC not named Bama???
