Oh I know, the conference has some absolute stinkers this year overall. Extremely top-heavy.

To be fair flashy offenses just don't work consistently in the Midwest and Central/Northern Plains come late October thru November.
You get cold/drizzly/windy weather and it's not conducive for teams that rely on the passing game.
Hence Big 10 teams always being "Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust", Slobber-knocker, low scoring games.
Look what happened to Oklahoma @ Kansas the other day.

^^ THIS ^^
And pretty damned bad grammar on my part now that I read it. But, IDGAF about grammar nowadays.
Flashy offenses don't always work in good weather places either.
And "Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust" offenses will work anywhere if one teams MFers are bigger/faster/stronger than the other teams MFers.

True that.
Just saying there's a reason Big 10 offenses have to be predominately run oriented.

Because Midwestern farm kids are slow?
YesCould it be the offensive ratings are bad because the defenses are really good?

The old “SEC defense” logic.Could it be the offensive ratings are bad because the defenses are really good?
Logic destroyed by TAMU and mizzou a decade ago.
