Northwestern just lost by 10 to Merrimack, a school that lost by 20 to Maine a couple days ago. Oof.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

The Big Ten is really weak this year. I'll think they'll be the worst of the non Pac-12 Football 5 conferences

Yeah, Wisconsin won tonight but it was a tight game against EIU (now 0-2 with a 25 pt loss to Texas Tech). Illinois looked real bad in the first half against Grand Canyon (recently lost to DII Davenport by 9) but they have pulled it together in the second half.

ECU almost pulled off the upset at Navy (preseason 9th place Patriot League team). It was a valiant effort.

I live 15 minutes from Merrimack's campus.

My thought pattern when I heard that Merrimack upset Northwestern: "That's not really an upset. Merrimack's been to the NCAA Tournament a few times in recent years. They're a scrappy team. And I didn't even know Northwestern had a hockey team."

Northwestern needs to join the CAA to be with Northeastern and the rest of their peers.

They're not joining Hockey East though, right?

Not gonna lie I enjoy watching Cris Collins fail spectacularly just as punishment to all their alums in sports media who wanted to crown him as john wooden for winning a tournament game
