Around the Big Ten

If UNL makes the B10 CG, the conference will go from laughingstock to LMMFAOstock. If it's UNL-Indiana, well, then it's ROFLMMFAOstock. The only team that could save the B10 is the Flagship which, unfortunately, will be moored up after November 24th. Worry not, though -- UFM boys will be running roughshod once again in 2013....

....if they can somehow replace the only good defensive players they have....

CCG will be an easy win for the Legends division team unless O'brien finds lightning in a bottle for Wisky. If it's Wisky in there, it's probably a miserable contest. 24-7. Something like that.

[iam416]

I can't fathom anyone other than Wisky in the CCG (ie, IU). So, prepare for misery.

Maybe tOSU and PSU can play that day early...in a rematch...and call it the CCCG...

(Cheaters Conference Championship Game)

Or how about the Thugs v. Peds?

[iam416]

Play nice, WizzIE. You need OSU. I don't UNL is going to run the table. They'll catch an L in one of their two road games, IMO. So, you'll need OSU to beat M.

Go Bucks!

IU controls its own destiny in the Leaders division. As WM said, this game is big for the Leaders division.

Yes we will lose at least one...it's what Bo does.

Lines for the week:

Illinois at OSU: OSU by 27.5
M with vertical legs vs M with slanted legs: Vertical legs M by 12.5
PSU at Purdue: PSU by only 3.5? WTF? Why would that game not be a slaughter?
Nebraska at MSU: Nebraska by 2
Iowa at Indiana: Indiana by 1.5

Gut feels: OSU plays crappy, makes their fans nervous for a half, and fails to cover. Michigan covers, and Penn State covers in the first quarter. Penn State is not good but Purdue is horrendous.

Nebraska opened at +1...why is money flowing their way? We will be lucky to score on MSU.

MSU 15 (5 FG's) NU 0

[hack]

Dunno about a shutout but I think it will be very difficult for UNL to score on MSU.

[Hannibal]

Vice versa. Spread of 2 seems about right to me.

shaddup

MSU 30 (Ten FG's) NU -3 (Missed FG so bad they took away 3)

[WM Wolverine]

Talent is correct that M's been playing a lot of lousy offenses in the B10 with the B10 having god awful passing QB's (who are more likely to take advantage of M's defense), making Mattison look even smarter. Still, this was a defense two years not expected to be good for years and he's changed that essentially overnight. Whatever he's making, he's grossly underpaid.

Watching Miami vs VT... Talk about bad QB play
