Not smart enough to understand how, but hard to not think SP+ is systematically overrating the entire Big 10 based on the results of OSU, Iowa, and PSU. I mean OSU and PSU were #3 and #4 and got handled by the #12 and #14 teams.

OSU at least has a bit of an excuse but yeah… SP+ clearly flawed this year by over-stating how good Big Ten defenses were on account of playing a ton of really, really one-dimensional and bad Big Ten offenses.

Iowa anywhere near the top 25 is a complete joke. They played zero top 25 teams until the Big Ten championship game and lost 0-26. Then 0-35 to a mediocre UT team!!

Iowa native here. Fitting end to Iowa’s season. They have been frauds for years. Can’t stand the nepotism of the coaching staff and Iowa fans’s belief that they are a great program.

Have they hired a new OC yet?

Nope. They were too focused on scoring 0 points in the bowl game to hire anyone. Ferentz is absolutely pouting because his son got fired. Ferentz has been living off of great d coordinators for years. Bunch of rumors about Paul chryst but no idea.

I guess we can’t be shocked Tanner Mordechai decided to be Tanner Mordechai the last 3 plays of the game.

I kept waiting for the inevitable pick but instead he just imploded on the last three drop backs. Had a helluva game vs a horrible defense prior to that. Dare I say Graham Mertz-esque

Joe Philbin is rumored. Of course they want a young hip new 62 year old

I’d say it’s a coin flip on Saban taking Timmy Reese’s keys at halftime and driving the car home.

Bama is eventually gonna fold if they can’t figure out how to block Michigan up front. They are getting whipped every single down. They keep trying to pass because they don’t think they can run it against their front and it’s having the opposite effect where they are just taking huge negative plays.

It makes no sense. Granted it was on a short field but their best drive was run-heavy

This. They have to do designed runs to set up scramble third downs.
