It's rivalry week in the Big Ten and after today, it's all over for the conference until Bowl season.

How satisfying! No absurd, money-at-all cost conference championship game to look forward to next weekend like the B12, SEC, ACC. No thought of the Big Ten's best team being knocked off by a weaker team with a weaker record and maybe even a weaker schedule.

If Texas were our champion, we wouldn't be putting it through a meaningless game vs. Colorado, Iowa State, and Missouri.....a gave UT should win in a rout and if it by some chance loses, the conference gets egg all over its face and no showdown with USC.

I'm a traditonalist. I like the B10 system. A lot. I just wished we played a ten team round robin schedule.

Not really, I'm an IU fan (kinda, mostly for basketball), I thought that this is the year that we finally went to a bowl game. OSU and Michigan were expected to be top ten (OSU is at nine, too bad they didn't beat Texas). Purdue and Iowa were big disappointments. However, Penn State was a pleasant suprise. If MSU wins today, that means that eight Big Ten teams should be going to a bowl game.

I'm a Notre Dame fan for football, and I hope that this is their year for the BCS.

Naptown, I was referring to the lack of championship game as opposed to how the season went. In many ways, it was a bummer....certainly from a top tier (Mich, OSU, Iowa) perspective)
