Even though I’d take Illinois over Indiana-talent wise (only a slight difference IMO), the real reason I have Illinois above them is the difference in schedule.

If I didn't enjoy enough the fact we are playing @Miami for the third time in the B1G-ACC Challenge, the below have been our two matchups since the B1G has gone to two "early season" league games:
'21-'22
@Ill
PU (#1)
'20-'21
Ill(#13)
@OSU (#23)
'19-'20
@MSU (#11)
Wisc
'18-'19
MSU (#8)
@Wisc (#12)
'17-'18
@Minny (#12)
MSU (#3)
That's 8 ranked teams in 10 games with seven being against teams ranked in the Top 15. So the least surprising thing I saw today was Rutgers two early season league games this year are Indiana and @Ohio State.

Wasn't that your take before the schedule was released? btw i think Ill runs away with it.
Probably close, I’m just much more confident with the take now that the schedule has came out
Can you smell CR from there?
I’d imagine most people in iowa have become nose blind otherwise they would have left the state already
Nice, was hoping for a Saturday game in Iowa City. Not the best atmosphere but an EXCELLENT place to watch a game as far as vantage points go. Also love seeing that arena painted orange! 😂
Worth noting that the only two not ranked finished their seasons ranked … 😳
Damn, almost 700 yds of offense vs. Western Illinois. Heir apparent at QB, Athan Kaliakmanis, looked really good in limited duty.
Last year, in 14 games at Iowa, Charlie Jones has 21 catches for 323 yards and 3 TDS.
This year in 1.5 games for Purdue, he has 21 catches for 286 yards and 4 TDS.
Why would a good wide receiver ever choose to play for Kirk Ferentz and Iowa?

Dude’s a stud too. No idea what Ferentz and co were doing not getting him the ball more or at least trying to.
Big Ten west looking good in football this year
If there will ever be a year one y’all will win the West, it’s now
Our starting QB that beta Ohio State, won a Big Ten Championship, and made the playoffs just lost bud starting job.
Row the boat is so fvcking stupid. I can’t believe an entire fan base has adapted the mantra.
PJ Fleck is on record that he got an 18 on his ACT
8 undefeated teams still. 7 from the East, 1 from the West.
You guys haven't really been in the B1G hunt IIRC, so really, the hard conference slate just helps your tourney resume since the committee is clearly valuing SOS (for all teams minus Gonzaga).
Purdue has also had a lot of boring and repetitive match ups in things like the B1G-ACC challenge and that Big East-B1G match up (can't remember the name of it). It's annoying.
Yeah it's really weak. Only issue is we have to go to Madison and Dinkytown. Both of those teams have had our number.
I know we aren’t. The rumors about him to MSU were all smoke no fire. As far as I know we’re set in the 23 class.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him go somewhere like Memphis and then transfer after a year lol.
Illinois will likely get an official visit. But no idea how interested DGL actually is at this point tho
