You know, if the B16 TEN expands, our football competition won't be that bad. (Actually, they WILL look bad...)
Nebraska (not what they used to be)
Notre Dame (not what they used to be)
Missouri (how many conference championships do they have?)
Rutgers (they play football?)
Maryland (used to be good)
Georgia Tech (took care of them last year)
...B16 TEN suddenly doesn't look as good as the SEC and PAC 16, but at least the Hawkeyes have a better chance to make a good bowl game.
