This place is like being in the church of the poison mind...

Talent:

"...I'll tumble 4 ya....I'll tumble 4 ya..."

[iam416]

That exhausted by Culture Club knowledge.

Wiz:

"...you take the gray skies out of my way...you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day

[Optimus Prime]

Hack, it appears you've got company.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Damn...Talent pulls out the Wham card...

I got nothin'

Brutal schedules for Rutgers, Maryland...

B10 schedule makers absolutely must be Wisconsin graduates. Iowa might be a sleeper with that awful schedule while it's tough to see the Gophers being a contender playing Michigan & Ohio State out of division..

Sparty's home slate is one of the easiest but quite a difficult away slate.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah Sparty got a brutal road slate. But for all these teams it's basically the opposite of what they had to go through this season.

2016 is where things really get interesting and unbalanced. I think we've got a pretty rigorous road slate.

2016 will be an interesting year for OSU. They're going to lose 4-5 first round picks plus a ton more. Those road games appear, from years out, tough. And they have to play HARBAUGH!

UFM's B10 dominance will likely end this year in AA against HARBAUGH! and 2016 will see it crumble entirely.

[WM Wolverine]

Your top 5 recruiting classes every season should help alleviate those losses.

[iam416]

I'm going to focus on 2015 and pretend 2016 doesn't exist until it's no longer avoidable. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost Warriner for 2016, too. The only upside I see today is JTB will still be around.

[WM Wolverine]

You guys are loaded almost everywhere and play in a weak conference, your schedule is tough enough that you might lose two games and still be in the playoff picture.

[iam416]

Don't get me wrong, they'll be fine in 2016, but they'll take a step back. And if the CFP remains at 4 then I have a hard time seeing any B10 team getting in with 2 losses.

I agree. It'd have to be a very fluky year for any team to get in with 2 losses, regardless of conference. Even an SEC team wouldn't get in with 2 losses unless craziness ensues.

[Optimus Prime]

I agree too.

I agree too.
