You beat a 6-6 ACC team on the road that lost to Duke, Miami, Pitt, and ECU, nothing to brag about.
You beat a 3-10 MW team at home.
You beat an 8-5 MAC team at home by 7.
You beat another 7-5 MAC team.
You beat INDIANA by 7.
You beat a 3-9 Maryland, a cupcake.
The Penn State win is impressive, I’ll give you that.
You beat Rutgers, a cupcake.
You beat a 5-7 Minnesota.
You beat a 5-7 Illinois.
You lost to Michigan State, a very good team, but it was at home, and just in case you already forgot, they played their back up quarterback.
Your prize win was over a THREE LOSS Michigan, sound familiar?
You had two tough games all year, and you went 1-1 in them. You lost at home to a backup quarterback. The other thing is your loss came in November, not September, it matters how you’ve played recently, that’s why you were in last year. You finished your year on a high, but the week before you lost at home to a backup quarterback. You lost your second last game of the year, you didn’t win your conference, you didn’t win your division, your most difficult non-conference game was at a 6-6 ACC team that didn’t play FSU or Clemson. You’re right where you belong. If you want to make a case for two B1G teams in the playoff, you should be making you argument for Iowa.
