The Big 10 is a joke. First they can't count, you'd think Legendary Leaders would know that the numbers 12 and 10 are different.
Second, they play a brutally "tough" non-conference schedule that includes teams like Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Colorado, San Jose St, Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Ball St, Southern Illinois, Youngstown St, Kent St, Massachussets, Illinois St, Rice, Western Illinois, South Dakota, Towson, Arkansas St and Akron. Oh and nearly all those games are played at home.

And third, their conference schedule isn't that tough either. Only three of their 11 programs won more games than they lost in conference play. Seven of the 11 teams lost at least six games.
Big 10 (err..11..12) more like the Big Overrated.
