No.

But they manipulated their schedules right, so that 4 of them could be 10-win teams.

There are 10-12 teams in the country in which Wisconsin and PSU would be underdogs on a neutral field.

But kudos to Delaney... he knows how to work the system.

Delaney runs the system and everybogy does what he wants.

Nope, they have 4 of the best teams in the Big Ten only, it is back to the Big Pretend until 8 teams go to the Playoffs!

Conference Champs go count and 3 at large can fight for the last 3 spots.

Nope, but they want OSU in because of Urban Meyer. He sells tickets and air time better than Chryst and Franklin.

Well to be fair, a Nick Saban-Dabo Swinney Match Up from last year, was a close game, and everyone would love to see a Urban Meyers-Nick Saban Match Up as well?

I just want a better system for all to enjoy and that is at least 8 Teams!

So this vegas insider has Them as having 4 of the top 10. Some others I have seen in the past have PSU a little lower(12 to 14). Thing is the big 10 doesn't have anyone else ranked in the top 25 in any of the vegas sights I have seen. For instance in this ranking the b10 has 4 ranked teams. ACC has 5. pac has 6. SEC has 4 and b12 3. I think this list is a lot closer to what I would have the teams ranked than the Committee's. Basically Like always the B10 is really top heavy. They have another group in the 26 to 40 range of two or 3 teams then nothing till you get really low.
