Meh - Nebraska was missing their most important player and were gassed
Michigan's guards are straight ass and I'm really happy we'll have them at home with Kylan back.  Previous Message
I may have said differently had Nebraska held on, but Michigan winning that game told me their physical ability is pretty much inevitable.
As far as conference talent rankings go, I think we're at the point where Illinois is clearly #2...
After that, I guess MSU then Nebraska then Purdue... but IDK.
