There is absolutely no way NIU could be middle-of-the-pack in this conference. There is just no way. The gap is too large. |

Out of the 4 wins the Big Ten has against BCS Automatic Qualifying Schools, Northwestern has 3 of em. No cupcakes for the Wildcats! |

THe NU once being a cupcake and the fact you always want me to wear purple now makes sense. My brother said it well. If you had told him in the 80s there'd be a time when 6 wins would be considered a letdown season he would have called you crazy. |

Yeah that is a completely deceiving record there.I am a fan of Northwestern but since Illinois is our state school I root for them as well except when they play NU. |

No reason UCF and Cal should've been close games when playing at the Horseshoe. The defense was supposed to be a strength with so many returning starters but has sucked shit. |

They are still the best two teams in the conference. |

It's certainly not a data point in NIU's favor. |

I think I've been on record as saying the Big Ten sucks pretty hard this season. If I'm not, I'll establish the record here: the Big Ten sucks pretty hard this season. That being said, NIU is 2-6 in their past eight teams in the Big Ten, and they haven't exactly been playing the meat of the conference. Assuming Indiana and Penn State don't win seven wins, which I feel pretty safe assuming, this is going to be season number nine in a row since a MAC team has beaten a Big Ten team that finishes better than .500. So yes, even in this crappy conference, NIU would finish near the bottom. |

I'll take this as another data point in NIU's favor in this discussion. NIU would be a middle of the pack team in the Big 10 year in and year out. |
