LSU/Wisconsin
maybe, IMO both schools could wildly fluctuate before the end of the year.
but we were talking about the big 12 matchups mostly anyway. I do wish we could have seen more real opponents for teams like TCU and Baylor this year

As much as people say the SEC shouldn't have do much conference pride, if you take the B1G for instance then you have Michigan State losing to Oregon, and Wisconsin losing to LSU.
If those two schools win, an Ohio State win over Michigan State basically assures Ohio State a top four spot if they win the conference with one loss.

absolutely. i'm not a big fan of transitional football logic because when the teams are in the same conference you can see it often, if not typically, falls apart.
but the big ten hurt itself badly this year with pretty much everyone losing their noteworthy games out of conference. about the only exception i can think of is Indiana beating Missouri or maybe Nebraska beating Miami. tOSU lost to Va Tech, MSU lost to Oregon, Wisconsin lost to LSU. Collectively that hurts the top of the conference, and the larger conference prestige, more than the lower tier teams getting beaten up ooc
I suppose Nebraska could win out and still lay a legitimate claim to deserving a shot, MSU can play with anyone but if Oregon is a serious at large contender that becomes very arguable as well.

Someone on Big Ten Network just said Marshall should be ranked ahead of Ohio State right now, since Ohio State hasn't played a ranked team yet.
I see the point he's trying to make.

Marshall hasn't played a FBS team.
So there's that.

Well, that's not true.
