Margin of defeat by the top teams in the Big Ten

[HaydenHawk56]

Something I put in Deace's thread, but I find it interesting:

Wisconsin losses by 10 at MSU
MSU losses at Iowa by 31
Iowa loses at home to Wisconsin by 1
Ohio St losses at Wisconsin by 13

Other things to consider:

-Ohio St has really played nobody except Wisconsin (Miami included).
-Outside of Iowa and Wisco, MSU's resume does not look impressive
-Iowa trounces a conference leader, stubs its own toes against Wisco at home and Arizona on the road.
-Wisconsin came to play against OSU and Iowa. Was not able to keep up at MSU.

Who looks more impressive to you?

Good point, IMO mich state hasn't looked very impressive all year. Im sure they had said the same about iowa last year. I've seen limited amount of ohio state but from what I hear, they look just as bad. I think KF will have the hawkeyes very focussed for the rest of the season!! Definitely Ohio State!

Yep. I think the difference between MSU this year and Iowa last year (in comparison time) is that I believe Iowa had a better resume (winning at Penn St, at Wisconsin, at Michigan, Arizona at home). Iowa also was not blown out at any point last year.

From what we've seen, Wisconsin's resume looks much better at this point. However, if we play for the rest of the season the way we did yesterday, nobody will beat us, OSU included.

Don't count on the Christmas presents from OSU.
