BIG 10 THERAPY THREAD

[oaknightshockey1]

Shitty losses count for everyone. The PAC has only a couple. The B1G has a plethora.

Like what? MSU to Oregon in Eugene? Wisconsin to LSU? Both were dogs going into the game. Or do you mean Michigan (who no one predicted to do much of anything) losing to Notre Dame? Or OSU (who lost a ton of talent coming into the year, then lost their All-American caliber quarterback a week before the season) losing to Virginia Tech? The worst loss for the Big Ten was Iowa losing to Iowa State, because preseason, many thought that Iowa would take advantage of an easy schedule and make a run. That's it, really, unless you want to start pointing to the bottom dwellers, most of which were underdogs anyways.

I never understood the notion that mentioning teams were underdogs would somehow eliminate the notion that the big 10 shouldn't expect to win the game. Last I checked MSU was #1 in the B1G and Oregon #1 in the Pac 12. Wisconsin #2 in the B1G, LSU #4/5 in the SEC. Ohio State #3 in the B1G, Virginia Tech #3/4 in the ACC maybe.

You do realize they are underdogs b/c the conference sucks? The B1G usually has an advantage in the game when just comparing it top to bottom.

I mean look at this past weekend too. Maryland and Minnesota both lost to teams that didn't even make a bowl game last year. Minnesota is a middle of the pack team in the B1G much like TCU is in the Big 12. Same for Maryland and WVU. And Iowa is supposedly a top half B1G team and they can't even beat a bottom level Big 12 team. Other than the games against ND and Illinois' game against UW the B1G could have been the favorites in those other games if it didn't suck.

Don't care. My team won 66-0.

 

[WhiteMamba]

We may suck in college, but Michigan State QBs were 3-0 yesterday in the NFL. Can anyone beat that?

Our avi bet was only for a week samurai.

You are past take it down time.

I've been on this list long enough for you and others to know that is not true. Because I didn't know that both Neb and Bama played FAU I have been exposed and am an ignoramus and opinions are moot?

And, you still fail to see what my point has been all along.

It is you guys who keep comparing the curb-stomping of FAU. I don't care about that, as the curb stomping of one of the worst teams in CFB doesn't matter. They both curb stomped them. So assuming it would be Bama and Neb, as unlikely as that is, it is a push at best. Beyond that, my point about the OOC stands.

As to nut swinging the fucking thread is about a "conference," hence the discussion of conferences.

Finally, if you want to call me an ignoramus, please use the word "moot" correctly. LOL.

All I said was that a one loss SEC team gets in before Neb and you guys get your panties in a wad. Neb fans here a little touchy.

It's not a push if Bama has one loss and there's an undefeated Big 10. There will be no "common opponent" or "head to head" factor.
That they both play P-5 schedules removes the SOS factor.

An undefeated P-5 conference champ will get selected over a one loss conference champ. Deal with it. The reason is that there's nothing that says the undefeated conference champ couldn't beat the team that beat the one loss conference champ.

A one loss SEC west team will assuredly be more deserving than an undefeated PSU/Nebraska. PSU/Nebraska just won't have near the quality wins any of the SEC West teams will have. And Nebraska and PSU will have nothing to show for OOC.

Once again the committee is not selecting a conference, they'll be selecting teams. You conference nutswingers need to stop listening to the media drama and get that through your heads.

The B1G understands Coin Flips!

Unfortunately Ferentz hasn't while calling a timeout to try to ice the ISU kicker

Here's a thought. Maybe that SEC team shouldn't have lost. How would anyone know the team they lost to could beat Nebraska or Penn St. If there's not a direct common opponent or head to head? The committee is not made up of sympathetic conference nutswingers.

The common opponent and head to head factors are there in case you're comparing two teams with equal records. They are secondary tools.

Do you honestly believe what you are saying?

Do you actually think Neb or PSU runs the table?

Just a Y or N

 

[Yapp14]

The Big Ten is no longer a relevant college football conference, this is quite obvious. Anyone that does not accept that is letting their bias interfere with it.

Neither....NEITHER

I would have to agree.

 

[Yapp14]

Don't care. My team won 66-0.

(coughs) Kent St!!!!

 

[Yapp14]

I would have to agree.

I am a Michigan fan and I admit the Big 10 sucks. Right now, the SEC is the premier FB conference

 

[Tharvot]

(coughs) Kent St!!!!

Your point?

I don't know much about PSU, but as far as Nebraska goes...do they run the table? Probably not. But the likelihood of any team going undefeated is slim, so it's not really a very good yes or no question. There aren't any teams in college football I would feel comfortable saying WILL go undefeated. Is there a chance though? Certainly. We will likely be favored in every game left on the schedule with the exception of MSU and Wisconsin. Wisconsin has looked vulnerable at times, and Nebraska has typically done well against MSU thus far in the Big Ten.

(coughs) Kent St!!!!

Well at least this time that so-called football team of yours didn't suffer another loss to App. State!

 

[Wamu]

Your point?

Just mention App. State or Toledo!

Hell if I know. Everybody in the conference is beatable. Y'all are saying that yourselves, no?

I don't know why you're even asking the question if "They don't stand a chance against a one loss other P-5 team" anyway.
