Sounds like something ESPN would do. ESPN is a joke.

"Nebraska with 4 piddly-sh*t votes"
Drew misses old badass Nebraska.
Other guy thinks Nebraska and other old powers were hurt due to realignment.
Drew hates the spread and misses old Nebraska run game/option football.
Also mentioned Riley taking the team to Kendrick Lamar, Harbaugh taking the team to Rome, etc. "Who pays for this?" :lol:

Dienhart: My top candidates for end-of-the-year Big Ten individual honors
QUARTERBACK OF THE YEAR
1. Trace McSorley, Penn State. The perfect fit for OC Joe Moorhead’s offense, McSorley is the ultimate weapon and leader under center.
2. J.T. Barrett, Ohio State. The arrival of new OC Kevin Wilson may help Barrett become an even better weapon, especially in the passing game.
3. Clayton Thorson, Northwestern. He tweaked his mechanics after 2015 and really developed last year. Can he take his game to an even higher level?
RUNNING BACK OF THE YEAR
1. Saquon Barkley, Penn State. The junior is poised for perhaps a 2,000-yard rushing season.
2. Justin Jackson, Northwestern. He is looking for a fourth 1,000-yard season in a row and to become NU’s all-time leading rusher.
3. L.J. Scott, Michigan State. The physical back could be a lynchpin for the Spartans if the line develops.
WIDE RECEIVER OF THE YEAR
1. DaeSean Hamilton, Penn State. He is poised to become the school’s all-time leader in receptions.
2. Nick Westbrook, Indiana. A rangy target who emerged last year, Westbrook is a tough red zone matchup.
3. D.J. Moore, Maryland. He is one of the Big Ten’s most underrated wideouts. Can the Terps deliver him the ball?
TIGHT END OF THE YEAR
1. Troy Fumagalli, Wisconsin. The 6-6 Fumagalli has soft hands and the grit to excel as a blocker, too.
2. Mike Gesicki, Penn State. When it comes to moving the chains, the 6-6 Gesicki has few peers. Not many linebackers can cover him.
3. Garrett Dickerson, Northwestern. NU’s “superback” is a terrific athlete who works the middle of the field like few others.
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE YEAR
1. Sean Welsh, Iowa. The tough, physical guard is the lead man on a Hawkeye front.
2. Michael Deiter, Wisconsin. Big, tough and strong, Deiter is a classic Madison mauler for a top o-line.
3. Mason Cole, Michigan. The versatile Cole is a classic combination of smarts, strength and technique.
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE YEAR
1. Rashan Gary, Michigan. The ballyhooed Gary looks primed to emerge as the Big Ten’s top force off the edge.
2. Tyquan Lewis, Ohio State. The reigning Big Ten d-lineman of the year is an anchor of what may be the top defensive front in the nation.
3. Steven Richardson, Minnesota. The 6-0, 300-pound Richardson is almost impossible to wedge out from the interior of the line.

So, Florida now up to 10 players suspended for the Michigan game, if UM looses this one it's going to be a long season.
It's a sad day when the team loses the fans. You might enjoy this link, Mich, I know I did.
