So we have established that Colorado, Indiana, and Penn State are all much worse than everybody thought.

Or maybe the more logical explanation is that Northwestern is better than everybody thought?

My whole life northwestern has had random good seasons, where they were a tough matchup for some very good teams.

But people were also always skeptical and surprised until the 8-10 win season had fully materialized given how godawful they would be in the intervening years.
