1,800 fans, results are weighted and averaged to create a score that gives each Big Ten fanbase equal weight and non-Big Ten fans make up 50%. Top 5:



OSU - 239
Wisconsin - 239
Penn State - 238
MSU - 228
Michigan - 225


It shows how each fanbased ranked each team. Every ranking for every top 5 team from every top 5 fanbase fell within 223-244...except MSU fans scored Michigan at 211.

Always in their head.

They always "clearly dominate" us, even though their two wins against Harbaugh-led teams were by 4 pts each, and one of those ended on one of the flukiest swings of events in college football history... or as they call it "total domination from start to finish."

based on the way michigan was ranked by Spartans, it sounds like they're more of an afterthought...

I don't think that's what that means. If you average the scores from OSU, Wisconsin, and Penn St fans, they give MSU a 232.7 and Michigan gives them a 230 (a difference of 2.7). So Michigan fans think about MSU similarly to how others do, or it's probably better to say they are capable of putting rivalry biases aside and ranking things similarly to the way others do.

Meanwhile, OSU, Wisconsin, and Penn State give Michigan a 229.3 while MSU gives them a 211 (a difference of 18.3). Spartans have a wildly different take than everyone else.

Gulo... no offense, but this is the worst - like THE worst - trash talking I've ever seen on a sports message board.
