What I have said, is the better Big Ten teams can go against any opponent in the country and have as much of a chance to win as anyone else would. It's all about to executes better and who can go mistake free. Hell, Michigan (who lost to App state) beat Florida! That's proof enough for me that whatever team wants it more, and plays the best on that given day, will indeed win.
Better teams would include: Michigan, OSU, Michigan State, Illinois, Penn State and Wisconsin.
Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, and Iowa would have a chance, but would need a lot of luck to beat the better teams in the country.
Minnesota just seems hopeless at the present time.
Still, the 65 yard run by Beanie Wells was amazing, and will make a great career highlight for him. I was really fucking pumped up when he did that. Awesome showing, and great toughness on his part. He has more yards as a sophomore than two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin did as a sophomore. He is something special.
