Why does the Big Ten let a league game featuring the #11 vs #8 team in the country be played on BTN instead of ABC or ESPN. Nothing like making your Conference Regional instead of National. SEC wins again because they would never do something that stupid.

^^^ Agree, Apparently eSECpn think #13 Florida State Criminoles @ South Florida is more appealing to the national audience, As is #12 Georgia @ #23 Mississippi, or Unranked Iowa @ Rutgers. If I lived in Rooster Poop, Colorado, I'd rather watch #11 Wisconsin @ #8 Michigan State any day. eSECpn is still a joke.

I'm watching Wisky v. Sparty on Directv in California. But I still can't get the Pac 12 Network.

It's not a matter of the the Big Ten not letting ABC or ESPN do the game. It might have to do with no one thinking Wisconsin was going to be this good when the contracts were let. The big boys didn't want the game then. When there is a blow out, you lose viewers. Sponsors know that and don't want to spend big bucks on advertising, especially in the 2nd half. Also, neither Wisconsin or MSU are national brands.

On BTN's first ever, live at a big game, "Tailgate" show. Their "experts" agreed, that if MSU and Ohio State were to play Saturday, Ohio States bye week, MSU would have definitely won.

I saw that segment and had me shaking my head. MSU couldn't get the job done with the Badgers. Think time will prove them very wrong on their Buckeye/Spartan assessment.

I guess that ND win doesn't look so impressive any more.

I guess that ND win doesn't look so impressive any more. Very true. The win over the Irish has lost it's gloss. People are not happy at South Bend, but Brian Kelly is not in jeopardy. No surprise to anyone, the Irish defensive co-ordinator VanGordner has just been fired. With all that talent on the defensive side of the ball, they are flat out terrible. The power five conference ratings have the Big Ten the #1 ranked conference in America. The B1G has three teams in the top eight. SEC, eat your heart out......times are changing.

Funny how a loss to Duke can cost somebody their job at ND. Kelly, though, can quite literally kill a student manager by sticking him in a lift during a windstorm to video a practice and not even a slap on the wrist. Gotta love those good Catholic values.
