"With big-time playmaker James Hardy, and Kellen Lewis playing very well at quarterback, Indiana will be sure to make a strong push to send the Nittany Lions back to Happy Valley with three losses."

Thank you for recognizing. Should be a fun game.

Big Ten Not Worthy (#6)
by Flemish American on Sun Oct 21 2007 at 7:46 PM EST

Barring a major slip-up of their own, Ohio State is going to finish this year undefeated, but anyone who believes the Big Ten is as good as the SEC or even the Big 12 is näive. This brings to question the validity of Ohio State being a championship contender and would lead any careful analyst to believe they are getting set up for another shellacking like Florida gave 'em last year.

I'm a Big Ten man. Some of you know I'm a Michigan (Yeah, Appalachian State, I know) Wolverine fan. I'm also a realist. We're not just beating up on each other. Any winning record we have out of conference is misleading if you don't take into consideration who we're playing.

We can try to make a big deal out of the successes our teams might have, but at the end of the day, we are not really that good right now.

the pac-10 is just as good as the SEC. i don't think the big 12 provides anything very impressive, just like the big 10. that's my thoughts on 2007.

: "or even the Big 12" (#9)
by Flemish American on Thu Oct 25 2007 at 9:34 AM EST

If you read my comment carefully, I do not say the Big 12 is as good as the SEC, but that the Big Ten is not even as good as the Big 12.
The SEC is clearly a step ahead of the rest with the Big East possibly second right now, although I question their ability to sustain this level of play throughout the conference for a long time, say, a decade. After that come the Pac Ten, the Big 12 and the ACC (not necessarily in that order). The Big Ten is a weakened conference and certainly follows those named above in total quality. However, I am hopeful they will rebound within about two years.

As the site's #1 Big 12 hater, I must state the Big 12, and especially the North Division, is much improved. But having watched Texas A&M-Texas Tech (or some matchup like that) and Florida-LSU on side-by-side televisions at the same time, the speed difference between the teams is astonishing. It's like watching frame-by-frame. The SEC players are just so much faster than those from the Big 12.

Penn State + Officials 26 - Purdue 19 (#10)
by Flemish American on Sat Nov 03 2007 at 5:21 PM EST

Penn State probably still wins, but the officiating was definitely working in favour of PSU. I still don't understand why no one gave Purdue their time out back after that botched call on the Boilermaker catch where the clock was left running. That was a major mistake that could have been rectified by giving the time-out back and adding a few ticks back on the clock. It was just weird.
