While the Big East and ACC have struggled a lot recently the B1G is so bad this year, and has been dominated in Bowl Game's recently. While Ohio State is undefeated they have struggled a lot this year and got lucky to beat both Indiana and Purdue. The B1G Leaders Division is a mess. This week's 6-3(3-2) Wisconsin @ 4-4(2-3) Indiana game will decide who is going to play for the B1G championship game as both Ohio St. and Penn St. are ineligible. Michigan got housed badly by Alabama, UCLA beat Nebraska, Syracuse dominated and should have beaten Northwestern, Michigan State and Iowa have struggled. The B1G honestly deserves more criticism than it is getting. The ACC may only have Florida State and Clemson but that is better than the Big East and Big Ten.
The B1G should take more heat than it does

With a bunch of weak teams at the bottom, the PAC12 is only a smidge better than the B1G and the ACC. The main story is that the SEC and B12 are head and shoulders better than the rest of the BCS.
NW returned a punt for TD, had a second PR down to SU 25 scored a 2nd TD, had a dumb Jerome Smith not go after a swing pass and returned that fumble for a TD that gave NW 21 points and SU had 2 first quarter drives stall inside the 10 yard and settled for 2 FGs. NW won the game legitimately, but SU dominated the field that day and if you don't feel they shut themselves in the foot then I disagree. Your entitled to your own opinion but I believe we dominated NW but our own mistakes lost that game for us.

Why do you think we made those mistakes and they didn't? There is a reason and it's not because we are snakebitten. If you make more mistakes than the other team on a consistent basis, NW, Rutgers, Cinci, then it's because you are not as good of a football player. You may be faster, you may be stronger, you may be alot of things, but in the end you are definitely not better.

OSU was not luck to beat IU.
The final score was very misleading.
But, you're right - the Big Ten is very weak this year and nobody really mentions it.

Nobody mentions that they are weak, but no one really mentions that they are strong either. No one mentions them at all.
Imagine the press Ohio State would be getting right now if they were eligible for anything. They are undefeated and have Urban Meyer as their coach. That would be a huge story. Does anyone ever hear about it?
They may never get the negative press and that may bother people. But don't think it doesn't eat away at the B1G powers that be, that no one is talking about their league at all.
