I was taking a peak at the b10 standings today and there are some odd number right now.
MSU is leading the legends division at 4-1 right now despite only outscoring B10 opponents 109-100. Contrast that to Iowa who is 3-2 but outscoring their opponents 134 to 106.
Iowa is currently 6th in B10 defense allowing 106 points, however they are within spitting distance of 3rd with MSU and fOSU 100 having allowed 100 points and Illannoy 103.
PSU is undefeated and leading the Leaders division right now despite scoring the 2nd fewest points in the league (96). Only the Goophers have scored less (77). They've gotten to where they are by having the best D in the conference allowing only 62 points. That is four TD's and 4 XP better than the 2nd best defense in the conference (scUM 90 points allowed).
Wisky is 3-2 in conference play despite having the best offense in the conference by a wide margain (63 points better than 2nd place scUM) and outscoring conference opponents by 118 points on the season (229 to 111). Their scoring differential alone (118 points) is better 5 other B10 teams total scoring output. When they win, they win big, outscoring opponents by an average of 42 points a game, but if the opposition can hang in there they are winless with their two losses coming by a combined 10 points.
And finally Iowa... Iowa scored more points against (24) scUM and the 2nd best D in the B10 than they did against the Goophers (21) who have given up over twice as many points on the year.
As the late great Johnny Carson would say, “that’s some wild, wild stuffâ€.
