Why does Big Ten football suck?

Don't forget Wiscy getting proper fucked by the refs in the ASU game, they would have had a chance at the winning FG.
I agree they got fucked but the QB got too cute, the refs didn't see him take a knee, he did it too fast, created confusion. Next time be precise, put the knee down, stay down and then either hand the ball to the ref or make sure the play is blown dead. Although the refs did handle this badly I put the blame squarely on his back.

Here are the losses by B1G teams to non-B1G teams this season:

Illinois: Lost to Washington 34-24
Indiana: Lost to Navy 41-35, lost to Missouri 45-28
Iowa: Lost to Northern Illinois 30-27
Michigan State: Lost to Notre Dame 17-13
Nebraska: Lost to UCLA 41-21
Penn State: Lost to UCF 34-31
Purdue: Lost to Cincinnati 42-7, lost to Notre Dame 31-24, lost to Northern Illinois 55-24
Wisconsin: Lost to Arizona State 32-30

Only Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Ohio State won all their OOC games.
Some of the non-conference loses aren't bad, but Nebraska getting trucked at home by UCLA, Indiana losing to Navy, both Iowa and Purdue losing to Northern Illinois, and Ped State losing to UCF is embarrassing to the conference. And you can throw in Michigan's close calls with Akron and Connecticut for good measure.


I believe both No. Illinois and UCF are ranked in the top 20 of the BCS so I am not sure those L's are that embarrassing. But the fact remains that scum does suck!
