Think this is bad, wait till the Big10 bowl games W-L total is in the books. Oh man....

That's when Delany will have that "haven't been able to take a shit in a month" look on his face.

Hopefully one will get Washington. A squeaker at Hawaii and giving up 52 to an FCS team. At least you do get a bottom feeder this week.

I think Penn State is the torch bearer. Penn State has not embarrassed themselves on the field. Penn State gets Michigan State and Ohio State in State College.

Plus, look at their 2015 recruiting class.

Nebraska needs to win four of their five away games, to be considered in the running as the torch bearer. If Nebraska can go five and five, whoa baaby. Won't happen.

When googling State College, a Chipotle Restaurant had to close because they did not have enough workers. Personally, I hate the flavorless Chipotle food, but my college kid LOVES it.

Do Texas fans feel the need to interject in every fucking thread?

They also don't make any threads on the Texas forums, they just post them all in the general forums because in Texas logic, if ain't about Texas, it just ain't.

Could you please point to any reason why the start of the season holds more weight than the middle or end? Because you seem to imply that it does.

If anything it paints a much cloudier picture.

Maybe because teams are playing teams from other conferences so we get a feel for which conferences actually deserve a team in the playoff? How the hell is performing shitty going to help the B1G when they start playing each other in conference if they've done nothing outside of it?

Yeah, it seems the response to any thread is one of three things:

1. You suck because you left the Big Texas Conference.

2. Oh nice win, remember that time you lost to Texas?

3. How can you claim anything, you didn't play Texas.

To be fair, this is a generalization as a lot if good Texas posters are on here like jefe etc. but some are just obsessed and they seem to be the loudest.

are you really this dumb?

because if you only consider conference play, every conference is the same and goes .500

how teams perform in nonconference games becomes a measuring stick against other conferences. when you are vying for spots in a playoff with a relatively few number of games that give us any kind of benchmark about relative conference strength, how can you not think the big 10 results have been disastrous?

can't believe you still don't grasp this.

Seems reasonable to me. Nebraska still has two decent OOC games, if they can show well in both of those, that's good for the conference.

Nebraska does need to go undefeated to make it to the "show", not going to happen otherwise. But, Minnesota always gives us problems and @MSU won't be easy. not to mention Bo always loses 4, so there has to be 2 more there somewhere (probably @Iowa and @Wiscy).
