Predict the B1G

[ellupo]

And Alabama has won the SEC 4 of the last 5 years. No offense, but prior to this past year, the B1G and SEC conferences weren't even remotely comparable too.

They won by losing to teams that did not win the SEC west. Thats the difference. But they still lost. See, even great teams stumble.

I am learning that winning the conference DOESN'T actually mean you are the best of the conference. Who knew...

The selection committee last year knew.

We have been told that since 2011.

A Stumble is winning 4 out 5 conference championships. 1 out of the last 7 isn't stumbling, it means you weren't as good as you thought you were.

You have a lot of rained out games. Only Purdue and Illinois get their 9th conference game in?

I guess Bama picked the right teams to lose to. Maybe if tOSU would have lost to MI instead of MSU or PSU they would have more of those CC. But they didnt lose to MI.

Actually flip flopping those losses would have resulted in Michigan going to the conference championship both years.

I wish you wouldn't have been bailed out against Michigan. At least then the B1G wouldn't have been embarrassed in the CFP last year.

Hey dont you correct me when I am reminding a MI fan that MI lost.

If only MI could have stopped a running game with that tough D in the OT. They looked like the MI of old and just gave up.

 

[Voltaire26]

Please point to all the cc trophies from those years.

From someone who hates ohio state with a passion ... the past few years they have been the best team in the B1G.

Yeah. Congrats on scoring 3 points with your offense over the last 8 quarters of regulation time.

Speaking of the greatness that is Jim Harbaugh -- Did you know he rushed for more yards and more touchdowns than Bo Jackson in his NFL career?

Jim Harbaugh > Bo Jackson

Just when you think that Michigan fans couldn't be bigger homers, you go post this.

Thank you taking this to another level.

It was in jest, even though it is true. I just read it and thought it was funny

[outofyourmind]

You laugh, but the last Big 12 team to win a NC is UT. He has already started sniping Oklahoma commits by stealing Cameron Rising AND signing the top QB from Oklahoma too.

With the resources Harmon (My phone autocorrected again -- Herman) has at UT, it is the beginning of the end for OU.

The fish aren't biting.

 

[ellupo]

Yeah. Congrats on scoring 3 points with your offense over the last 8 quarters of regulation time.

A win is a win right? This is still counting - How many days since Michigan has beaten Ohio State?

@OregonDucks when was the first time they made you read "To Kill a Mockingbird"? 7th grade I hope. I don't know how Oregon public schools work. I read it all the way through at 6. Are you doing okay? I just wonder, because you still display the insight of a 3rd grader. It concerns the fuck out of me. I don't want to see Betsy DeVos clones.
