Iowa football: Big Ten Network gets it wrong with AJ Epenesa

Please, can someone explain to me how a Preseason All-American (by nearly ever media source including the Associated Press), Preseason All-Big Ten, and a strong contender to be a top-10 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is not considered one of the two best defensive ends in his own conference? If you can, I would be amazed, because when Stanley Jackson of the Big Ten Network said Iowa football player AJ Epenesa was the third-best defensive end in the Big Ten, I was truly appalled.

Yes, you heard that right, someone actually said Epenesa was the third-best defensive end in the Big Ten, not the country, the Big Ten.
