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.

For about the last 5 years I have pulled for all of the Big Ten teams during bowl season, not just OSU. I think this is a natural reaction to what the "SEC" chanting fans and ESPN have created. However, after our off season of hell I've learned that nobody likes one of the teams at the top, especially those in your own conference. The OSU boards I frequent have been flooded with trolls from other teams within the Big Ten. As a result, I'm slowly going back in the other direction.
