This was being batted around during the slow offseason…
The Primary argument some were making about this was the relative strength of offenses faced between literally anyone from SEC in the top 5. I have a hard time looking past the cheating thing with Harbaugh and also the fact that Iowa was near the top of the BIG with a scoring offense that could be calculated by toddler counting on their toes, even if they didn’t know how to count. Look past how putrid OSU’s offense was and Michigan didn’t see an offense with a pulse until they met Alabama in the CFP.
Also…how was anything from Georgia’s 2015 season on this list. Schottenheimer and Pruitt…Lord those were some desperate times.
Anyway, in defense of the 2021 defense, here’s this:
Lots of BIG Teams on there. It’d be amazing what could happen at Iowa if they could afford an offense.

I thought maybe that article was from the Onion. Last time I heard about how great a Michigan D was, it was getting it’s ass handed to it by UGA, and then a TCU team we beat less than 2 weeks later by 60. Consider me unswayed.
if this is the same dude who is a functionary in the Horizon League office in the basketball department and if a graduate of Purdue, why would I care how he rates snhything? What could he possibly know about rating football stuff? His numbers are a perfect example of the data analysis rule “garbage in, garbage out.“
FTMT. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every time I think about 2015 I’m that much more thankful we are where we are now. Man what a weird season.
If the 2021 defense isn’t listed at the top of every defense comparison, the list is suspect.
