Friggin idiots. I don't know why anyone would take them seriously. Using their own rankings, I'm hard pressed to find the "MUCH" here... I could live with "Georgia plays a tougher schedule than Ohio State" because at least the remark is internally consistent. Instead, we're left to assume spots 16 - 25 of the poll are far and away worse than 10 - 15. Is Auburn better than Penn State? Sure. But, I'm not sure they're all that much better than Illinois...
I digress... my real problem with this "poll" is that having Penn State ranked at all is proof positive they're just mailing this one in.

That has a lot to do with the outside world's perception of the Big 10.
