I think we found out how good the Big Ten really was this year in football. Iowa's 6-3 conference record was an accomplishment.

How I'd rank the B1G

1. Ohio State
2. Oregon
3. Penn State
4. Indiana
5. Illinois

6-11 the order isn't clear
Iowa
USC
Nebraska
Minnesota
Washington
UCLA



...and the rest.
