Around the Big Ten

No real surprise that Wisky grinds out a decisive win.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Wisky 28
Iowa 9
Dean -4

LOL.

Well, after today it would appear Michigan State and Ohio State will play in Indy. Even if UNL manages to pull out a win today, they're good for at least 1 more loss. I don't think Michigan State loses more than once.

Wisconsin probably isn't losing again, so OSU will have to win 2 of its final 3 to go to Indy.

If it happens, classic old school/new school defense/offense matchup.

Old school, new school, even late for school...stfu.

[Dr. Strangelove]

End of the Nebraska game...WOW!!!!!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Pelini's job secure for years to come!!!! LOL

And if UNL could somehow win out, Ohio State can play the Huskerz in Indy for a walkover rout!

We wouldn't beat you that badly...Bo's luck only goes so far. Something like Miller fumbling a Victory Formation snap into the endzone with a six-point lead and :08 to play? Sure.

Did someone say Hoke is underpaid or taken advantage of by UM?

Ohio State's Urban Meyer is first in the Big Ten and sixth nationally with a salary of $4,608,000, two spots ahead of Michigan's Brady Hoke ($4,154,000). Meyer and Hoke both are eligible for $550,000 bonuses in 2013.

Isn't it about time Dantonio jumps the Sparty ship?

Michigan State's Mark Dantonio undoubtedly is the best value in the league at $1,959,744,

Also

The median coach in the Big Ten makes about $1 million less than the median coach in the SEC. But sure, blame academic standards.

The Big 10 might not fill its bowl allotment (again).

Not worthy of bowls

[Dr. Strangelove]

OSU and Penn State were ineligible last year and PSU is again. That's been the biggest problem.

Indiana prob isn't going to win 3 of 4. Illinois could maybe do it because they still play Purdue, Indiana, and Northwestern. Northwestern needs to beat Illinois and get an upset over Michigan or Sparty

[iam416]

Yeah, last weekend was a bad weekend for bowl eligibility. Northwestern and Indiana probably would made it to bowl eligibility if they had won last week. And Penn State is still ineligible.

The other "problem" is that Wisconsin is looking like a BCS team. However, they play a pretty good BYU team this week. If they get past BYU, they should finish 10-2 and get an at-large BCS bid unless OSU loses the CG, then OSU will get it.

So, you're looking at losing 1 from the top to the BCS and they lost 2 last week.

The B10 would have had 8 eligible: OSU, Wisky, MSU, Nebraska, M, Minnesota, Penn State, Iowa. Without PSU it's down to 7. Taking one for the BCS at-large, it's down to 6. That hail mary from UNL cost the B10 some money!

[iam416]

Incidentally, the SEC won't fill all their spots. And if the BCS takes an at-large SEC team, which it will, they'll fall two short.

Though, I guess that doesn't fit in with the narrative.

I've considered your request and must decline. My reasons are many but the most significant concern your poor intellect, revolting hygiene and uncouth temperment. More succinctly, and perhaps in language you may comprehend, "No, you're a dipshit!"
