Gameday is so hard to watch. Pollack says the big 10 is the toughest conference top to bottom in the country right now. I understand they may have some good teams at the top, but have they heard of Rutgers, Indiana, Maryland, Illinois, etc?? Good god, they don't even hide the bias. Big 12 may not be the best conference, but top to bottom, it's the most competitive.
Idk what the heck you were watching. He said the big 12 is the most competitive top to bottom and said a 1 loss Big 12 team should absolutely be in the playoff. Never heard him say that about the Big 10.

That was exactly the opposite of what he said, actually

Also they spent some good time on ISU. Herbie's stuff a few weeks ago was stupid, but he gave them props today, and wasn't wrong in saying that the way ISU plays, they could either win or lose the next 4. Bad omen that he picked ISU today though...

I always get a kick out of Desmond Howard losing it during Lee Corso's stuff.

Who would watch that? Must be counting on a lot of desperate cheeseheads.

I am. Interesting game so far.

Flipping back and forth between that and KSU-Tech. I can't recall what it looked like for ISU, but Tech's fans didn't show up today.

Don't know the contractual stuff at all, but Fox Sports must be really gaining steam with picking up as much of the Big 10 as they have and are.

Doesn’t Fox own 51% and controlling interest of the BTN?

No idea...I just know this season, and into basketball season, they're covering the Big Ten.

FSN and such used to feel kind of low brow compared to the production/coverage of ESPN and it's interesting how that tide has shifted.

Cyclones may not be surprising anybody anymore this season but WVU is favored to win this one. Kempt plays better on the road. I think Montgomery needs to have 25 carries and 100 yards on the ground. Keep that Mountaineer offense off the field. Grier throws a lot of picks. I think Cyclones get 2 ints and turn one of them into 7 which is the difference in the game. ISU 34 WVU 28
