What happens when a team from a tough conference meets one from a much weaker conference?

Wisconsin beat Arkansas
Penn State beat Tennessee
Originally posted by whirlpoolThank you. The Big Ten is 2-1 against the SEC this year. Penn State wasn't even ranked, and smashed Tennessee. Wisconsin had almost no offense at all during their game with Arkansas and still won.

not sure what your point is ...
Originally posted by Falco LombardiPenn St. hardly "smashed" Tennessee; if you had watched the game you would have known that the game was tied in the 4th quarter with the Vols about to take the lead when they fumbled and Penn St. ran it back 88 yards for a touchdown. It was a tough, evenly played game that turned on that one play.

Originally posted by Red NightIf they had been bitch-slapped I would've said it, like it did about Michigan and OSU. It's not conference biased. An ass-whippin' is an ass-whippin'.
The typical RHP response would be:
"Talk about making excuses. Stop whining and face the fact that your beloved SEC heroes got bitch-slapped by a weak Big 10 team."
Originally posted by WulebgrAs much as I hate to admit it, you are correct. After much travail I have come to the conclusion that the Big Ten is simply an inferior conference and here is why.

USC beat Arkansas by a huge margin. Arkansas beat Tennessee convincingly. Wisconsin did not play Ohio State (making both schedules weaker). Penn State's losses were to the top Big Ten teams, and represent the most impressive wins for two of the three.
Nearly all of Florida's oppo ...[text shortened]... itle game.
OSU gets a final #2 ranking as a courtesy, but they should be no higher than #5.
Originally posted by Red NightNo excuse at all, jerk. Just a correction; Tennessee was beaten, OSU and Michigan were smashed.

Imagine if you will, a high school football star being actively recruited and sought after by all the top schools in the country.

Originally posted by WulebgrExactly. And we can see how many national championships they have. I would say this will be the best year they will ever have in the history of their program. I would tell them to enjoy it while they can. After all, its not the natural order of things in college football. There are only a select few teams who should do well year after year after year after year, after year.

Originally posted by whodeyWell, they can hardly have a better year then one where they were undefeated. However since 2002, Boise State's record is 58-7, with 3 one loss seasons. http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/coaching/alltime_coach_year_by_year.php?coachid=1012
