Around the Big Ten

[THE_WIZARD_]

The CFP will be anti-climactic this year. The title game is Bama-Lsu. Just cancel the rest of the season after that game and crown the fucking winner.

fuckin' cheaters

3-3 in conference and 1-2 on specials. Sounds about right. 27-35-1 in conference and 14-8-2 in specials.

Illinois (+10) at Purdue^ndWisconsin (+14) at Ohio State^rdrdMaryland (+16) at MinnesotaNotre Dame (-1) at Michigan^ndSouthern Methodist (-14) at Houston. Ah, the old SWC. One team is rolling and covering everything. The other team is actively tanking their season and was just dominated by UConn (yet, still won somehow).

Connecticut (-10) at UMass. Temple (+11) vs. UCF. The Owls generally show a lot of grit as underdogs and especially in bounceback games. War Mark Macon!

This how you're still calling these games?

[iam416]

That's surely more accurate than whatever nonsense I'm implementing this season.

I got to LOL at the Wisconsin upset.

In Columbus? After just getting beat by the mighty Illini?

This game is going to be over at halftime.

Wisconsin was depantsed in Champaign, and Day was watching. Just like Michigan was depantsed at Indiana last year. Day was watching that too, and proved it by 62-39.

If OSU doesn't win this by 3 TD's I'll be shocked.

Another Fields/Day in Columbus.

The transitive property is tough. Wisconsin played bad and it was still a remarkably fluky game. They just beat Sparty 38-0. I don't think Illinois is better than Sparty. Or M, for that matter, who Wisconsin also clobbered. Such a weird, weird game.

Don't look now but the Fightin' Lovies just need a win over Rutgers and a worse-than-expected Northwestern team to make a bowl game. Both games at home.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Brandon Peters ? > Shea Patterson running spread, pass to run. What M should be doing with Gattis on board. This is the new CFB. Harbaugh cant survive emerging BT offenses that embrace this approach and if encountered will fail against top 10 nationally who do embrace it.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Maybe it's all an illusion but the Big10 and SEC seem way better than the ACC, Pac12, and Big12 this year.

[iam416]

The ACC is horrific. Even AA will confirm.

[WM Wolverine]

Pac 12 and Big XII are both deep in good to mediocre teams. ACC is closer to G5.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah, that's about how I see it. Pac12, then Big12, then ACC.

1) Michigan - Destroyed Notre Dame after dominating Penn State for 3 quarters. Captain Khaki earned himself a 7 year extension last year. Fuckin A. Dreading Thanksgiving weekend
2) Penn State - Third straight week beating a quality opponent.
3) Minnesota - Dominating a rigorous schedule
4) Ohio State - Who have they played? JV teams and YMCA Auxillary squads
5) Wisconsin - Still a good team but Bagers don't like to get wet
6) Iowa - "Ferentz" is the Slovakian word for "FUCKING BORING"
7) Michigan State - So long as they aren't facing a Top 25 team they do just fine
8) Indiana - Jesus Christ, really? Them? #8? They're 6 and 2. Wow. The lower half sucks
9) Nebraska - Ranking them this high is more pity than anything. Illinois might win in a rematch
10) Illinois - Hottest team in the league! Naturally, they'll lose to Rutgers next week.
11) Purdue - Most of the team is hurt or dead
12) Maryland - Every year they tease ya by playing really well in a non-conference game, then turn into a mess by October
13) Northwestern - Could be a controversial pick this low but their offense is horrific.
14) Rutgers - Welcome to Hell

[iam416]

Nebraska is a little too high, but otherwise correct.

[froot loops]

MSU sucks and will suck for at least a few seasons until something is changed.
