SI - Big Ten is back!
Todays SI.com cover page is loaded with Big Ten references. SI.COM

Here are the Top 10 players (accroding to SI):
1. Drew Tate
2. Teddy Ginn
3. Laurence Maroney
4. AJ Hawk
5. Steve Breaston
6. Michael Hart
7. Chad Greenway
8. Greg Eslinger (Minnesota)
9. Chad Henne
10. Ray Edwards (Purdue)

Stewart Mandel on the finishes:
1. OSU 7-1 (10-1) : If the running game improves as expected, this team will have it all. Ginn is one of the game's most dangerous weapons and Santonio Holmes is an elite receiver. The defensive line is not without questions, but A.J. Hawk anchors a premier linebacking corps and CB Ashton Youboty leads a deep secondary. Perhaps the biggest question is whether kicker Josh Huston can live up to Mike Nugent's considerable legacy.
2. Iowa 6-2 (9-2)
3. Michigan 6-2 (9-2)
4. Purdue 6-2 (8-3)
5. Penn St. 4-4 (7-4)
6. Minnesota 4-4 (7-4)
7. MSU 4-4 (6-5)
8. Wisky 3-5 (6-6)
9. Northwestern 3-5 (5-6)
10. Illinois 1-7 (3-8)
11. Indiana 0-8 (2-9)

Toughest schedule - Iowa? Only if he means the conference schedule only.

Let's compare Iowa's to tOSU's.

In conference. Iowa misses Penn State and MSU, 2 teams in the middle.
In conference, tOSU misses Purdue (4th best team) and Wisconsin, a middle team. Iowa's may be a little tougher.

Non-conference, Iowa plays @Iowa St., and hosts Ball St. and Northern Iowa, which I don't believe has Kurt Warner anymore. That doesn't compare to Miami Univ., Texas, and S.D. St.

I don't want to see any Big 10 team on the decline. I want them all ranked in the top 10 -- makes for better competition.

Agreed, I don't want to start getting hammered for an easy SOS, I'd rather have a tough one like this year and see our team have to give it all every game

and yes he had to be referring to big 10 schedule
