And OK looking like they are just going to roll all over UConn...other than the Rose Bowl and the Penn St/Fla game...pretty lame day of games.

A pretty bad day for the Big Ten, but to be fair the Michigan schools made it look a lot worse than it should have been. Alabama played like the team they could have been all year, absolutely dominant, I think they could have beaten anyone easily with the performance they put in today. Michigan isn't a good team, and their D is so horrendously bad that not giving up 50 would have been a shock. Penn State was a drive away from pulling it out and Wisco lost a real battle. 0-5 is still brutal, but the margin part really is due to two heavily overmatched teams being exposed as such.
MSU is still a good team, they're just not good enough to play the best at their best. Still a big step forward for the program this year. Not a fun game for us Sparty fans, but I'm happy that we're in a place to at least face elite teams now. It's almost like teams like Norway at the world jrs, promoted to the A pool but really not an A team. That's how you get better though, playing the best and losing badly is better than playing in the B pool and getting wins.
