How Did the Old Big West Teams Fare This Year in the 18 Team Big Ten?

[ChosenChildren]

I thought it would be somewhat interesting to see how the Big West teams did this year against each other, and then against the rest of the conference. First, their records when playing each other:

Iowa 4-0
ILL 3-1
Gophers 2-1
Huskers 2-2
Badgers 2-3
Wildcats 1-3
Boilers 0-4

Hawkeyes win the "mythical" title when counting division games only.

How did the teams fare outside of their "division" games? Not very well!!!

ILL 3-2
MN 3-3
IA 2-3
Wisc 1-3
NW 1-4
PU 0-5

The Big West teams were a combined 10-20 against the rest of the league.

Overall Big Ten records:

IA 6-3
ILL 6-3
MN 5-4
Wisc 3-6
Neb 3-6
NW 2-7
Purdue 0-9

Hawkeyes were co-champs with Illinois when you count all conference games.

But the tie goes to us since we did not play head to head with Bert's squad and we have a better division record. Suck it Illinois.

I guess we would play Penn State in this mythical world since there are no expansion teams in Westlandville.

Can someone mock up a BIG10 West Trophy and send it to KF with a sign that says, "Try to Keep Penn State Within 5 Touchdowns"? We need to keep filling that trophy case.
