Iowa is also useless without Drew Tate. OSU might pretty much have the best team, but it doesn't mean their conference is actually up to par. The ACC and BIG 12 have always been overrated.

Did anyone watch Florida State, Miami, Clemson, or BC in the last couple games? The Big XII is bad. Texas is good. Oklahoma is pure crap (playing UAB and Washington close -- what kind of powerhouse defense gives up 20 points to Washington?). Texas Tech is far worse than the last couple years. The Big 10 is mediocre. Ohio State is worthy of competing for the national title. Michigan is just setting itself up to fall. Iowa played a terrible game against Syracuse. Penn State is ok -- but Anthony Morelli is not. Minnesota is bad. The SEC is mostly very good. The Pac is mediocre. USC is good. Cal and Oregon have potential to be good. UCLA is ok. Oregon State, Washington State, and Arizona have potential for some upsets. The Big East is bad. WVU and Louisville (even without Bush) are good. Pitt is ok. Rutgers is ok. That's my take.

Did you even watch the game? How did the secondary give up two touchdowns? Minnesota only had one offensive touchdown in the game. Secondly, Daymeion Hughes was unbelievable, he had 2 ints, and 1 pass defended. Syd quan played much better and the only big play of the game faked the whole team. Also, Minnesota is projected to be in the bottom half of the Big Ten. And the Pac 10, second best conference? Stanford loses to SJSU, and LSU beats Arizona 45-3. Not to mention Tennessee whooping us. Leave the football talk to someone who at least was paying attention in the game. Your analysis is way off. Did you even watch the game? How did the secondary give up two touchdowns?

Still not as great as losing to UC Davis. Stanford losing to SJSU…wow.

Right now, the Big 12 has three teams that compete: Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma - all in the South. The Pac-10 has seven teams, at least, that have a legitimate shot at winning this year. Is anyone really arguing that there's another league out there with the same parity and average quality as the Pac-10? I said up-and-down.

The Pac 10 is the second best league? More like the second worst BCS conference (next to the big east). There's definitely no way that the Pac10 is anywehre near as good as the Big 10 or ACC, and it's doubtful the Pac 10 is even on par with the Big 12. Ben, seriously, put down the crack pipe.

Minnesota's record in conference games in the last six seasons (from most recent to least recent) is: 4-4, 3-5, 5-3, 3-5, 2-6, 4-4. Also, Minnesota hasn't been in the Rose Bowl since 1962. You might need to check your definition of 'powerhouse'. “perennial Big 10 powerhouse”???
