Big Ten’s record against Q1 opponents is 8-23

Yeah. Arizona is 2-0, Utah is 1-1. At 0-1 are Colorado, Oregon, and WSU. At 0-2 are ASU, Cal, OSU, USC, and Washington. UCLA is 0-3 and Stanford hasn't played any Q1 games to date.

So by Wachtel’s standard we should also randomly decide to omit Arizona then too.

That seems awfully low - is it excluding conference games?

Also wondering if that's using current NET rankings vs. projected. Not a lot of major conference teams are playing several of the current NET Top 30 (Indiana St, FAU, Princeton, Colorado St, New Mexico, San Diego St, James Madison), but several of those are likely to drop from Q1 to Q2 as the season progresses.

That stat with zero context/comparison isn't very helpful, but if his point is that we aren't doing good in non-con, there are quite a few chances to rectify it. Notable games:

Indiana vs Kansas
Mich St vs Baylor (Detroit)
Ohio State vs UCLA (Atlanta)
Purdue vs Arizona (Indy) (oh wait nevermind, apparently we can't take credit for Purdue)
Nebraska at Kansas State
Northwestern at Arizona State
Illinois vs Mizzou (St Louis)
Maryland at UCLA
Rutgers vs Miss St (Newark)

4-1 so far, with a very respectable Indiana showing against Kansas

I remember whenI used to pay attention to Brad’s tweets

UCLA on a neutral isn't Q1 at the moment but yes it drives home how dumb the original tweet was.
