Around the Big Ten

That's a good time. I heard that is not the funnest course especially when you get out on Belle Isle.

Yep, concrete is for biking and soft woodland trails for hiking with us.

Illinois is the worst team OSU has played this year. And they've played Vegas.

Ohio State pulls it's starters with 5:30 left in the SECOND. They outgained Illinois 327-22 and were up 38-0. The 41 point line is now in question, as predicted.

Yet the team Ohio St was destroyed by is getting their ass kicked at home vs Purdue. 21-9 Purdue

[Dr. Strangelove]

Can't believe we got destroyed by this bum Iowa team

[Wild Hoss]

Thats college modern football.

There's never a point in time in CFB past, present or future where that performance is acceptable. It's the most bizarre, inexplicable Ohio State outcome during my watching lifetime. If they played next week at a neutral sit then OSU would be favored by 21. And I'd probably back OSU.

Fuck me sideways.

The B10 has at least 9 bowl game commitments. The B10 will have 8 teams that are at least 6-6 or better. Assuming the B10 gets 2 in the NY6, and that's probably a lock if PSU manages to beat Maryland, then there will be unfilled slots left and right. I guess the upside is that the conference will avoid (a) getting shellacked by Army and (b) going to Detroit.

Prognosticators are calling for M (most likely at 8-4) in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego v. Arizona who will finish most likely 9-3, possibly 10-2.

I hope that happens. Good match-up with a nice story line. I like Don Brown's defense v. RR's read option O. I'll have to look at the numbers for M's O v. Zona's D.

Looks like I have to be in FL over the break. My mother has moved from CO to FL, which is a complete and utter disaster for me personally, and for my kids. An awful trade. I was eventually going to get to all 14ers. But maybe at the very least there could be a shitty bowl game for me and the boys.

[iam416]

4-3. After a year of this shit, 46-46-1. Brilliant. Quick write-ups today.

Iowa (-4') at Nebraska. I'll put my faith in the ineptitude of the UNL defense over the ineptitude of the Iowa offense. Genius of Ferentz.

Ohio State (-11') at Michigan. I don't think this game will be close to the line. Either it's a total asswailing or M is in it to the end. Based on how OSU plays against good or quasi good teams, I think it's the latter. I mean, Iowa. HARBAUGH!!!! to put the rivalry back in The Game.

Indiana (+2') at Purdue. Bowl eligibility game. I'm back the Boilers despite super fishy line.

Wisconsin (-17) at Minnesota. Barring a blizzard, this is a case of rowing the boat coming up against an Alrleigh Burke Class destroyer. Stupid fucking Badgers to roll.

Penn State (-22) at Maryland. After PSU's asshattery last week, I'm not backing them to hold the cover this week. Turtle has also shown lots of gumption this year. So, I'll back Coach DJD to backdoor the number.

Northwestern (-16') at Illinois. Illinois is JFA. Mildcats to cover.

Michigan State (-13') at Rutgers. Welp, jump on the Rutgers cover machine bandwagon and get whipped. I've been on Rutgers for 2 of their 3 non-covers. Might as well make it 4. I'll back Rutgers to keep it close against a muddling Sparty team.
