The big 10 was kind of down when we joined though, and we had just come off two seasons of nearly winning the big 12. All the publications were picking us to win the conference, and we had no reason to think we would be worse in 2011 than 2010. Ultimately that staff just couldn’t stop basic power running- it was the main reason we didn’t get a conference title in the Pelini years. Not that it was the only problem but looking back if we could have just done that one basic thing we don’t have the Wisconsin results and have a title or two. I agree about OSU though- the only real down year I can remember is when the tresses thing happened. It’s the type of place that would have to get serious sanctions and hire someone colossally inept to really bad. But I would be surprised if things don’t drop off a bit without Meyer, maybe just meaning not beating Michigan every year
