This is a MAC type class which is not that surprising. I don't have to like it, though. There will be some gems but as a class, its a stretch.

I'm anxious for the Big 12 to expand so we can see what kind of talent we start getting commitments from. Assuming they expand and we get in of course.

As I am also. Regarding the MAC stuff Rath, the better MAC teams have good talent at the Oline, RB and QB positions every bit as much as the
middle of the road Big Ten teams. I will give the advantage to the middle of the road Big Ten teams relative to DE, DT, linebackers though.

If you lined up the Starting Offense for Ohio, NIU vs Iowa or Purdue not much of a difference at all.
