Big Ten Football 2024

[Spartacus1987]

Another FOX Big Noon snoozer upcoming with UCLA at Penn State. That’s three straight weeks of low-rent Big Ten garbage matchups on alleged premium program Big Noon Saturday.

It’s hard when the Big Ten doesn’t have many good teams. It’s OSU, Oregon, and then Penn State? Pickings are slim.

And two of the only good teams (USC, Oregon) can’t have their home games at noon.

Right.

 

[nwwarrior09]

The Big Nooner pretty much has to broadcast an Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State game in that slot every week from a ratings standpoint.

There is a very high ratings floor for those teams, regardless of how trash the opponent might be. For game quality in that time slot, it hurts a lot that Oregon and USC are out west.

UCLA needs to get its shiit together

How’s that Jeremiah Smith needs to prove himself comment working?

Minney got screwed.

They were not off sides

Oregon is somewhere between 3-5 in conference. USC is further down.

Didn't Michigan beat USC?

At home. On a defensive breakdown. Michigan is not good this year.

Agree, but USC lost to them and they continue to demonstrate an inability to tackle. I'm not sold on SC.

Just fine

 

[Costa]

Agree. People might find it difficult to say, but teams like Indiana, Illinois and Rutgers just might be better than USC and Michigan this season.

None of those teams is better than USC. Maybe Michigan since they aren’t good this year.

*Are better. Grammar, like football, has never been your strength.

It’s “is.” None is a singular noun. When you attack grammar, how about actually being correct?

Lol, you are describing multiple teams not being better. Either way, your statement that none of those teams is/are better than USC is/are nonsense.

Ducks are taking the Spartans to the cleaners 21 - 0 Half

 

[Spartacus1987]

Oregon looks better than Ohio State tbh

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Ducks looked like a BIG team last night. Gabriel in the 1st half though was a bit shaky.

What does a B1G team look like? Slow and boring seems to be the norm.

 

[AEW Champion]

Everyone applaud Michigan for finally leaving Ann Arbor for the first time this year. It’s October.

By the way, has there ever been a less relevant, less anticipated national title game rematch than Michigan vs. Washington?

[Cedar_Point]

If Oregon plays like they did last night in the first half against Ohio St if will be a long night for the Ducks

That would be ND. Ducks were physical and had a good running game.

Go Huskies

Geez. Probably not.

For as many eyeballs the games get, the Big Ten is pretty horrible.

They should have their own relegation system and make the bottom half participate with the MAC.

Doesn’t make sense that a conference with this much money would be so bad on the field.

Sure it does. The talent concentration in the south is a massive advantage. The game is more national (hell, global in fact) than ever but kids still want their families be able to watch in person. Then with it being easier than ever to transfer, you get guys like Scourton who was overlooked in HS, goes to Purdue, blow ups and transfer back home to ATM.

 

[Orin Swift]

James Franklin’s ability to play down to the talent level of his opponents’ might be what he is best at. Not a great skill to have.

 

[Spartacus1987]

Penn State should be absolutely ashamed of their field

At least their press box isn’t missing half its ceiling tiles.
