I can't remember when this happened before, but my memory is very fallible. The wins this year were: Buffalo 42 Rutgers 13 EMU 20 Purdue 19 Akron 39 Northwestern 34 The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

I don’t think any other MAC team beat a Big Ten team that year though other than BG.

I did say my memory was infallible didn’t I? I wonder if it’s happened more than these two years. I guess what makes this year stick out is that Northwestern just won the B1G West and Purdue’s beat down of the Evil Empire.

Akron wins over Northwestern which yesterday clinched the Big 10's west division title. Meanwhile Akron fell to 4-5 with its loss to EMU which had beaten Purdue which had beaten OSU. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,366 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Trivia Question    Posted: 11/11/2018 10:03:00 AM  ... and Purdue turns around and gets blasted by Minnehaha. Just goes to show in college football that the old cliche about "any given Saturday" is true. For the MAC one must add . . . Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Black Friday! ;-) The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

I also remember how when NW was playing in the Rose Bowl that year how the "talking heads" tried to not mention who had caused the one blemish on the perfect record. Very scant mention.

For everyone else its more about how big their offensive line was that particular year, did they get hit with injuries, the home and away schedule that year. There have been some poorly coached games at OSU this year bailed out by the athletes.
