    • Oh, stop it. 'Bama will win by at least three TDs (and you know it)

        • We should institute an anti-sandbagging forum rule. If your team is favored by more than 20 points and you incorrectly predict a loss, you are put on probation for a month.

          • Penn State will struggle with Indiana, Maryland and Rutgers. I probably like Indiana to beat PSU.bb

              I'm not predicting a loss. Just a tough game where we don't cover.

                  • Wisconsin went from unranked to the top 10 in the AP poll

                    Comment


                    • Two things: You know this. The polls are meaningless until there is some red meat ..... Like about week 6.

                      Wisconsin has a senior QB who was Stave's back-up. That should tell you something. He has a 57% career completion record and 5.6 YPC.

                      Overall, Wisconsin has been trending downward for the last 4 seasons. There is nothing saying they are going to be that good in 2016 but still may win the West. It's very unlikely that Wisky will beat any of thier east opponents that include M, MSU and osu. They do well against middling teams and do poorly against good ones. That's there MO lately.

                      LSU is not good.
                      Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                      • Wisconsin does play M & OSU so they might need to run the table in the B1G West.

                        Comment


                        • They also play at MSU but host osu. It's not likely they are going to win any of those three games based on their QB situation combined with talent levels on both O and D.

                          You're right, they are going to have to beat everyone on their schedule in the West to include at Iowa, Neb, at Fnw, Illinois, at Purdue, Minny. I'd say 3/3 at best in those games.

                          I picked Neb or Wisconsin for the West Crown. After looking at Wisky more closely today, having rocketed into the AP top 10, I'm more inclined to pick Neb or Iowa. After all, the BTCOY just got a contract extension into 2023 at 4-6m/year depending on bonuses. Ferentz must be a great coach.

                          • I think Sparty is down a notch or more for just this season... I picked Iowa to win the B1G West only because of Wisconsin's brutal schedule.
