Around the Big Ten

[Dr. Strangelove]

Bowl Eligible
Michigan (9-1)
Ohio State (9-1)
Penn State (7-3)
Iowa (6-4)
Michigan State (6-4)
Northwestern (6-4)
Wisconsin (6-4)

Bubble Teams
Indiana (5-5)
Maryland (5-5)
Minnesota (5-5)
Purdue (5-5)
Illinois (4-6)

Eliminated
Nebraska (3-7)
Rutgers (1-9)

None of the bubble teams have an especially easy road to six wins. It's possible only the Purdue/Indiana winner will make it.

Five win teams go bowling now, don't they?

[AlabamAlum]

5-win teams can only go with an APR allowance, otherwise 6 wins.

[UMStan White]

5 win teams only go if an insufficient number of 6 win teams exist. Then and only then does APR ranking come into play. Conventional wisdom says there will be sufficient number of 6 win teams this year to eliminate all 5 win teams

[AlabamAlum]

Correct. I guess my reply was thin.

You can also appeal the NCAA for an exception if you are 5-6 because of a game being cancelled due to weather (or some other simular issue).

Dan Dakich who is a sports radio broadcaster and has some connection to IU tweeted within the last hour that Brohm is headed to Louisville and the annoucement will be made November 26th.

Lots of speculation about the accuracy of the tweet although when challenged about it, Dakich said, "he owns it, lots can change, draw your own conclusions."

Makes sense. M is rumored to get 5* DE Karlaftis if Brohm leaves - that is highly speculative shit right there.

Some of the buy-out issues showed up in the Tweet stream casting doubt on the announcement date as well as the announcement itself.

Hate if for Purdue. The BIG West needs team upgrades and Brohm had the Boilermakers ascending.

I'd suck. Purdue will not likely find a better head coach if Brohm leaves. That said, I still think some positive things can happen with the program based on the facilities and $$$ willing to be spent on a coaching staff.
Very interested to hear what, if anything, Brohm says in the press conferences coming up. It'll be a bad sign if Brohm is vague about Louisville questions.


Basketball:
Big games tonight... Ohio State @ Creighton, Iowa vs Oregon, Penn State @ DePaul, Purdue vs App St.
Hope to continue the positive B10 start with some wins tonight.

3-3-1 and 2-1 to bring my YTD to 44-42-2 and 18-11-1. Uninspiring. With two full weeks left I need some solid performances to stay on the right side of .500.

Northwestern (+2) at MinnesotaPenn State (-28) at RutgersWisconsin (+6) at PurdueMemphis at Southern Methodist (+7). The Mustangs are playing for the AAC West title. A win tonight and a win at hapless Tulsa will put them in the AAC CG and make nFw the 2^ndNorth Carolina State (-16) at Louisville

Pretty awful slate of games this weekend, ND vs Syracuse and Iowa State vs Texas is it. Don't think I've caught a Syracuse game, they have a chance? Just looking at their schedule/scores, they give up way too many points and whatever they score, they'll likely give up more.

Okie State vs. WVU will br enrertaining.
