Post-Championship Power Rankings:

That B1G Championship Game was everything I hoped it would be. Hope the rest of you enjoyed watching Indiana, of all teams, win the B1G this year. I'm sure they'll stay the fun, scrappy team forever, right?

Weekly Power Rankings

Weekly Average Rankings

Points are the summation of every voter's ranking for that team, therefore lower scores are better. This works because unlike the AP, Coaches, or /r/cfb polls, every team is ranked in every vote. If x votes were counted, the best possible score is x and the worst possible score is 18x. #1 votes are in parentheses.

Average Rank is the points divided by the number of votes. This will allow for comparison from one week to the next.

Prev. is the Rank from the previous week.

Change is the change in average rank from the previous week.

Variance is a measure of how much agreement there was between voters. A zero means all voters ranked a team the same, and a higher number means a team's ranking was more controversial.

Let’s talk Lincoln

27 Upvotes

Ever since the the Huskies joined the B1G—and even before starting in 2021 with non conference matchups at the Michigan schools—I’ve been going to at least one B1G away game per year to visit the cathedrals of Midwest college football. So far, in order: Michigan, Michigan State, Rutgers (lol), Penn State, Wisconsin. (Yes, I’m 1-4 in these visits, woof)

This year: Lincoln, Nebraska so see what the Husker hype is all about. I’ve always thought that’d be a cool ‘college football history away game.’ And here we are.

So, B1G brethren, what’s there to know about an away game at Memorial Stadium? About two nights in Lincoln? Any food tips in town, seat tricks, or comments otherwise greatly appreciated. (I already know not to touch a lower bowl seat row 40+, ha!)

Genuine question for IU fans:

2 Upvotes

Now that y’all are good at football and you’re competing with and beating the big B1G teams, has the Purdue rivalry lost juice? At least in football? I know basketball is still super heated obviously, but I didn’t know if now that you’ve transcended Purdue from a skill standpoint(no offense Purdue fans, you still have the all time series by 33, feel free to remind an IU fan) if the football rivalry didn’t feel the same. Just curious! I’m not very familiar with the rivalry at all.
