Why is Auburn ranked 16th and Purdue 26th? Both are 6-3 Auburns best wins are Arkansas and Ole Miss both ranked in teens when they played … Purdue beat Iowa when No 2 and MSU No 3 when they played

Critical part of Big Ten response to Michigan's non-reply to the allegations: "Notably, the University’s November 8 response does not deny that the impermissible scheme occurred. Instead, it offers only procedural and technical arguments designed to delay accountability."

Crunching the numbers OSU football 1981-2000: 6-13-1 vs. UM, 6 B1G titles, 0 NC, 4 major bowl wins ... since Jim Tressel hiring 1/18/01: 18-2 vs. UM, 12 B1G titles, 2 NCs, 11 major bowl wins ... I'd call that a turning point
