B1G 1-5 vs. Big5 conference members and ND, B1G likely to finish with 5 or less wins

[JTLA]

B1G is 1-5 vs. Big5 and ND. That one win might be over the weakest member of the Big5 not in the B1G.
B1G will be heavy underdogs in 3/4 matchups this week and will only be a decided favorite in 1/5 matchups on 9/20. I'd be surprised if their record is better than 5-10 vs. Big5 opponents this year. So 5 wins from a conference of 14 teams. I'll bet there are at least that many losses to mid-majors. There are two already.

That's it folks. Jim Delaney is out trying to put spin on a sh!t sandwich, but the big drawback of the B1G expansion and B1G network has meant little room or incentive to play Big5 opponents.

Rutgers beat Washington State 41-38
Wisconsin lost to LSU 28-24
Northwestern lost to Cal 31-24
Michigan lost to Notre Dame 31-0
Michigan State lost to Oregon 46-27
Ohio State lost to Virginia Tech 35-21
(also - further embarrassments)
Northwestern lost to Northern Illinois 23-15
Purdue lost to Central Michigan 38-17

On 9/13
Maryland -3 vs. West Virginia
Illinois +14.5 at Washington
Minnesota +8 at TCU
Purdue +27.5 at Notre Dame

On 9/20
Maryland at Syracuse, close
Indiana at Missouri, heavy underdog
Iowa at Pittsburgh, close
Michigan vs. Utah, favorite
Nebraska vs. Miami, close

I mean, I knew they sucked, but that's some crazy data.

I heard the ACC went 11-0 this weekend not counting the ND game too. Looks like we bet on the right horse for the foreseeable future.

B1G is worse than you might think!

B1G is worse than you might think!

B1G is 1-10 vs. Big5 and ND. Again, that one win might be over the weakest member of the Big5 not in the B1G.

There are only 5 out of conference games remaining this season vs. Big5 opponents.

I wonder why PSU was granted bowl eligibility this year?

I could see the Big Ten losing all of those games. 1-15 would be amazing.
