At least according to Massey's Composite Poll page:

Scroll to bottom of page.

I believe the Big Ten was something like 6-11 against teams from the other Power 5 conferences (including Notre Dame)...

Maybe beating Michigan State and Wisconsin is not as strong as you think.

Michigan State and Wisconsin are both very average football teams.

The ACC went 4-0 against the SEC last weekend. But they didn't play at least the top 3 SEC teams, maybe top 5. Matchups matter, no?

They were awful. They keep pumping Minnesota yet all these teams beat Minnesota lol. Wisconsin has no true win over anyone of relevance. They had a huge jump after beating Nebraska down.. Nebraska who fired their coach

I hate HATE lobbying for Ohio State. But, they are the best team out of the three.

Take a look at out of conference schedules...
-@ 6-5 Navy (W 34-17)
-6-6 Virginia Tech (L 35-21...you must remember that Va Tech had a pick 6 w/ 40 seconds left to play).
-2-7 Kent State (W 66-0)
-9-3 Cincinnati (W 50-28).
_____________________________________

-vs FCS Samford (48-14)
-vs 8-4 Minnesota (30-7)
-@ 1-11 SMU (56-0)

_____________________________________

-vs 1-11 SMU (45-0)
-vs FCS Northwestern State (70-6)
-@ Buffalo (63-21)


Ohio State actually played 3 pretty good teams. Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, and Navy aren't cake walks. They are bowl team with traditionally some good players and coaches. Tommy Tuberville and Frank Beamer are good coaches. They've won BCS games. Ken Niumatalo consistently has Navy at a high level. These schools most certainly aren't FCS schools or 1-11 SMU. Minnesota had a good year, but 1 game at home against Minnesota doesn't add up to Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, and Navy.
