You are just dead wrong on that. Sorry. They were up 31-10 on northwestern with four minutes left and gave up two garbage tds. The only game that was even close was Purdue and I believe they fumbled three times in the red zone and downed it the other time.
I do believe you were right on Illinois but they still won that handily. Iowa had one or two plays total in Wisconsin side of the 50. I stil firmly believe this. If you changed uniforms and you had the exact same performance but the jersey said Alabama, Clemson, penn state, Ohio state, Michigan, Oklahoma, usc, etc they would have been number one going into the conference championship games
I have very little doubt on that. To be honest Alabama performances this year weren’t really that much better. Even though Alabama is a better team

They also only had about 300 yards of offense and 13 first downs.

Another 300 yard game

I disagree. I don’t think any team with that schedule would have been ranked any higher - assuming their position in preseason polls were the same. They were disrespected because 7 of their 12 opponents had losing records, not because of the logo on their jersey.
