no iowa?

[mj4cy]

Rutgers was around the top 30 this year. They quietly had a very nice year.

[Judoka]

Oklahoma State got screwed. Bigtime.

[ISUFan22]

Oklahoma State got screwed. Bigtime.

Oklahoma State screwed themselves by losing to us.

[chuckd4735]

Oklahoma State got screwed. Bigtime.

They lost as a 29 point favorite. You can say they got screwed, but I wouldn't call it big time.

[crash_zone]

how is that block of big 10 teams ranked higher than the block of big 12 teams????

[Acylum]

no iowa?

They won the pre-season NC all the way back in June or July I believe it was. This automatically disqualifies them from the final rankings. Do you not follow college football?

[Alswelk]

Also, how on earth did Nebraska stay in there?

[Tre4ISU]

Our national champion didn't play in their conference championship.

[greatshu]

SEC may had the best team in college football, but Big 12 has the deepest conference from top to bottom.

I'm proud of our team for going 6-6 in this tough schedule. We may not be ranked, but we def played one of the toughest schedules of all time.

[LegendofRodA]

After Clemson getting embarassed in their bowl game, I would think some of the writers would have to cringe putting their name down as a top 25 team. That or they almost completely dicsount the bowl games as glorified exhibitions.

[HFCS]

how is that block of big 10 teams ranked higher than the block of big 12 teams????

They aren't by a dozen computer rankings.

The people who still criticize the fact that 1/3 of the BCS rankings are computerized by now are morons, they're they only ones that make a bit of sense.

Those Big Ten teams are generally 5-20 spots lower in every unbiased poll out there.

[joefrog]

Does anybody really honestly believe that Michigan is a top 10 team? Really?

Pathetic. And people wonder why we hate the B1G. Garbage.

[ManofCyience]

SEC may had the best team in college football, but Big 12 has the deepest conference from top to bottom.

I'm proud of our team for going 6-6 in this tough schedule. We may not be ranked, but we def played one of the toughest schedules of all time.

The Big XII had the highest final Sagarin ranking, the highest win percentage of a major conference in bowl games and the highest non-conference winning percentage. 6-6 in that is a good season.
