The new logo is terrible IMO. The last one was creative, this one is not.

Welcome to the Bigger-Than-Life Ten.

Wow, that is outrageously hokey!!!

[GP1]

The Big Ten is obsessed with the past and this is an example of it. In terms of football, the best days are behind it and increasingly moving into the distance. This type of stunt strokes the egos of the blue hairs that remember those days.

Basically, the names of the divisions embody how the rest of the country views the Big Ten. The fans of the Big Ten see it as a great conference with great tradition (best days in the past). The rest of the country sees it as a joke. What I'm trying to say is the names they selected for the divisions are actually perfect.

You're right. 3 teams in the top 10 with 2 traditional powers being way down and it's over.

I am sure Nebraska will only add to the the downfall. After all, adding another traditionally top 20 team with a lot of history and tradition will only further the downfall.

Since you know how the rest of the county thinks of the B10, I think the B10 should just disband and the teams should all join either the MAC, WAC or be independents. Possibly join the Big East or ACC. All of those conferences are obviously superior to the B10.

That being said, the names do suck.

[ZachTheZip]

That's a really, really stupid naming choice. Wow.

Answer these questions:

1)How many times has the Big Ten had a winning bowl record in the last 7 years?

2)How many victories do the big 3 (Wisky, OSU, MSU) of the Big Ten have vs current top 25 teams other than each other?

3)What is the entirety of the Big Ten's record vs current top 25 teams (not including eachother)?

Read the answers below, or research yourself, and tell me the Big Ten isn't overrated simply because it's the Big Ten. Now I'll admit, I'm one of the biggest Buckeye haters out there, but the numbers don't lie. The media is so far up the Big Ten schools butts that they don't realize their playing style has become obsolete except vs each other.

That being said, a friend of mine summed it up perfect when I asked him what he thought of the new division names: "It's because, 'Going to Lose in the Sugar Bowl,' and 'Going to Lose in the Rose Bowl' wouldn't fit on the trophies."








Answers if you don't feel like looking it up....
A1) ONCE...last year (4-3). Previous 6 years? 15-28 (.349)
A2) ZERO
A3) 0-2 (Alabama over Penn State, Missouri over Illinois)

I failed your quiz cause you don't specify a time period for either question 2 or 3 and your answer to question 3 must be written in a code that I cannot decipher.

Well, good try.

Like I said, disband the B10. It sucks.

All of this conference smack talk derives from the BCS system. You have 3 undefeated teams from 3 different BCS conferences, people are forced to start comparing their strengths. The sooner they implement a playoff system, the better.

You forgot to mention that the medium ten beat up on the MAC in 2010, the medium ten's "signature" OOC victory was versus an 8-4 UCONN team and the SOS of the three medium ten schools were as follows:

MSU-65
tosu-68
Wisky-71

Memo to the medium ten- Play somebody!!

The Big Ten is already a second tier conference like the Big East and ACC. No reason to join them, they are already one of them.
