Although it's close with Nebraska.

Funny thing is, I was talking to a friend today about how people root for conferences, and I just don't get it. See it with SEC fans and a good many Big 12 fans locally. But I don't give a flying **** if the Big 10 is any good or not. I only root for Michigan. Iowa losing today? Shrug. Ohio State blowing that game to Toledo would've made my year.

That's basically how it is for me. I don't root for the rest of the conference. I don't take any pride in another Big 10 team doing anything. Most of the schools get apathy at the best (Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue), but some of them I wouldn't piss on if they were burning (Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan State, and now Nebraska). I hated seeing Ohio State winning a championship.

On an unrelated note, I got a bad feeling about the game tomorrow. Good things don't usually happen for me twice in a weekend.

Wouldn't you feel more pride in Michigan if they were the best in an elite conference? I would. That's why I hope Penn State beats Alabama and so on.
