Thanks Iggy

As far as "nice wins", it was a draw for me.

Michigan destroyed Georgia Tech, a good team. Nice win.
Struggling Purdue beat Pittsburgh. Nice win.

Miami beat highly vaunted Ohio St. Nice win.
NCSU beat Indiana. Nice win.

Otherwise, the teams won the match ups they should have, in my opinion. Illinois, Nebraska, and Rutgers are in major struggles for different reasons.

Michigan may have been the Big Ten pride of the Challenge.
