re: Top 25 by Conference

That's my point. The big ten has yet to cannibalize itself like other conferences have.

Agreed, but I still wonder why the Big 12 is getting such a pass. They didn't start cannibalizing themselves til 2 weeks or so ago, when they already had 6 teams ranked. Then when they beat these "ranked" teams it is a good win even when those teams are no longer ranked.

I know it's hard to really know who is top 25 and you have to do rankings every week, but this season has told us that if you put WVU and Maryland on a neutral field the game is close (WVU won @ home by 3). WVU played both TCU and Baylor close at home (beat Baylor and lost on last second FG to TCU), while OSU absolutely crushed Maryland at Maryland.

I didn't watch the unveiling last night, but was stuff like this brought up?
