Most of "us" look at how good the top of conferences/divisions are (unless there is only one team) to "judge".  Rutgers and UMd obviously will bring down the overall record of the East, but do they really matter?

One could of course eliminate the bottom of the west for parity appropriately.

My thoughts: 

Thanks for compiling the data and posting it.

Not looking promising for the West through the end of the season. This year is a one-year blip for overall record; one of these years the West really needs to win a championship.

It would be "fun" if magically Minnesota could upset PSU and Iowa and Wisconsin and then Ohio State.

Not fun for everyone of course.  Nobody believes in the Gophers now, probably not even their fans.

If they take out Penn State, I'm not sure that beating Iowa would be an "upset".  It is from here, just I think it wouldn't be from there:


Nobody trusts the Gophers because their best victim is either Nebraska or Illinois.    

Their results:
  • They beat a 6-2 FCS team (SDSU) by a TD
  • They beat a 2-1/4-3 SunBelt team (GaSo) by a FG
  • They beat a 0-5/2-6 B1G team (Rutgers) by 35
  • They beat a 1-4/3-5 B1G team (Maryland) by 42
  • They beat a 1-2/3-4 MWC team (Fresno) by a FG
  • They beat a 1-4/2-6 B1G team (Purdue) by a TD
  • They beat a 2-3/4-4 B1G team (Illinois) by 23
  • They beat a 2-3/4-4 B1G team (Nebraska) by 27

Yup, we all expect Minny to belly flop, but I'll be pulling for them this weekend.  I'm sure that makes a difference.

In the real world though...  still, even 9-3 has to be viewed as a good year for them.

  • They beat a 2-3/4-4 B1G team (Nebraska) by 27
If we look at their season in order, it looks a little different...as they gROW!
  • They beat a 6-2 FCS team (SDSU) by a TD
  • They beat a 1-2/3-4 MWC team (Fresno) by a FG
  • They beat a 2-1/4-3 SunBelt team (GaSo) by a FG

  • They beat a 0-5/2-6 B1G team (Rutgers) by 35
  • They beat a 1-4/3-5 B1G team (Maryland) by 42

In the month of October, Gophers D gave up only 3 TDs- all in the 4th Q. Illinois offense scored 3 pts; Nebraska scored their TD after it was 34-0; Rutgers & Maryland scored against the 2nd string. 

If the Gophers do what everyone expects, did you have them at 9-3 in August?

Agree the West is not looking good this year.  Iowa needed to beat at least 1 out of PSU or Mich and then the divisions would look more even.  But of course they didn't and the East is now running away with it.

A funny thing happened last year when it looked like the East was going to clinch early with a 3 game lead,  but then Neb upset MSU 9-6, then Purdue beat Indy, and all of a sudden it came down to the CCG, which of course the East won again.

2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 the east-west race was close enough that it all came down to the CCG, which the East has won every time.

2017 was really the only year when the East dominated the overall cross-division record.

Huskers loss to the Hoosiers at home last week didn't help the West
