Washington escapes.

The guy who dropped that TD needs to thank the defense for not letting that be why they don't get a CFP berth.

What a crap drive by Utah there. Oh well, I want to see a PAC-12 team make it to the CFP because the league actually deserves it this year. So unbeaten Washington vs. one-loss Oregon for the PAC-12 title would be ideal.

What if Kansas took that advice? Just got to get the right coach and some good players. Also leaving the east is going to help a bit
The Big 10 has always been the Big 2.... for nearly a century now. They NEEDED to raid other conferences for teams that have a pulse. The current Big 10 is thoroughly unwatchable.

Dude Michigan hasn’t don’t **** except for the last two years. I say that as an alum. These last two years were their first big 10 championships in 20 years.

Agree though that the current big ten with 5 new coaching staffs is beyond rough

If neither of those get in with one loss there really is a problem.

Both FSU and Washington end the games with fourth down interception, losing yards from line of scrimmage.

Maybe OU has just been returning to the mean after overachieving early.

I would say from a $$ standpoint, which is the driving factor for conferences, Michigan and Ohio State carried the conference for many decades (one could argue Penn State is up there too). Of course, it’s a moot point now with USCLA, Wash/Oregon joining. But one could think what would had happened to the big 10 if Michigan and Ohio State bolted to the SEC. The remaining 11-12 teams have been along for the ride. But that’s how most conferences function. There are a couple heavyweights that draw in much, much more $$ than the other schools in the conference. Hence why some schools (see Clemson and Florida State) want an uneven $$ distribution.

I mean you’re not wrong they have the highest evaluations. You could also flip that and say if Bama and Georgia went to the Big Ten. Neither will happen (regardless of how mad Michigan fans are right now) but sure in that work you’re probably right.
