I thought we were better than 12th but I'm not sure I'd have gone higher than 8th. I think we got a little help because several of the teams we play twice are toward the bottom of the conference - even though we lost a couple of them. But we've also had a couple really good wins and played a couple others tough. Color me impressed.
Yes and no tho-- We played Mich and OSU twice and had to play MSU and Iowa on the road.
Not impossible but the whole B1G is very deep. Northwestern//Purdue/PSU/Illinois arent slouches... I am shocked at how bad ILL has been lately.
I think the league is pretty deep and relatively even but the top isn't as good as it was last year. MSU is very solid but even current #2 Michigan is barely going to be ranked if they lose to MSU tomorrow. We did play Michigan twice but tOSU is only one slot above us in the conference. We will also play #12 PSU twice, #11 Illinois twice, #10 NW twice, #9 Indiana twice and #8 Purdue twice. We only play #1 MSU once (thankfully for them
), #3 Wisconsin once and #4 Iowa once. That's about as favorable schedule as you can get. But props to Miles and Co. for getting the job done.
