    Touche. Just think about Sam Richardson, the greatest QB ever to walk the face of the earth, and the Heisman Trophy winner until he decides to give someone else a shot at it.

    The 10 teams not on probation in the Big Ten might be the worst of the six biggest conferences.

    If you count the two non bowl eligible good teams they're probably fourth best and closer to the Pac 12 for third best than people think.

    The ACC suuuuuuuuuuucks though. The computers have the two ranked ACC teams 8 spots worse than the voters, it's not a fluke. Crappy, crappy, football conference. Big East is stronger this year even before they get their boost with Boise State.

    As ISU fans, when referencing our team we like to say "we" since we graduated from ISU. Its our team and alma mater.

    Can you polish a turd? The Big Ten is weak and Iowa has shown nothing this year.

    If you take out Ohio State and Penn State due to their issues, then yes, the big 10 is the worst BCS conference. However, if you include those two, they are not

    And yes, I did graduate from ISU. I wonder if SplitIdentity graduated from Iowa? None of my Hawkeye friends graduated from Iowa.

    Oh... and I play the position of "Monday Morning QB" for ISU. It's a blast. I have 20/20 hindsight AND I never risk getting injured either.

    i think you can, you would be best served to freeze it first though. then i bet you could burnish the surface with a smooth rock. best served to do this in a walk in freezer too so you don't get chocolate hands.

    Those conference rankings are really interesting. They have the Big 10 being about the same distance from the PAC as the ACC is from the sun belt. Also, Missouri valley is apparently better than conference USA
