POLL So who wins the B1G in 2018?

[ericd7633]

Really? One B1G QB is getting ready to win his 7th Super Bowl while another B1G QB is about to become the highest paid player in NFL history. Pretty good pedigree for a conference.

Now if only OSU could join the party...

Lmao. Conference hasn't produced a first round pick since Kerry Collins and the only QB's who have done anything in the NFL have been out of college for almost 2 decades. The B1G hasn't produced shit for QB's since Brees was drafted(Cousins is good, but that's it)

Pretty sure Russell Wilson played for Wisconsin in his final year, too.

But yes, QB hasn't been what the B1G has been known for over the past several years. But when they're good, they're really, really good.

Counting grad transfers? Lol.

Counting grad transfers? Lol.

I mean, he didn't become what he is until he went to Wisconsin. It was by FAR his best season.

Counting grad transfers? Lol.

If Nick Foles wins the Super Bowl, I’m counting him as a Spartan so...

I put Wisconsin. The offense will be a lot better than this year (21 of the 22 from the two-deep return). We'll see how the secondary is, but there is a lot to like on defense. Ohio Stare and Us will be the top two teams, and we have more margin of error for getting to the title.

Not sure about that. You guys have one hell of a schedule this year. If you manage to go to both Penn State and michigan and come out with victories, I will be nervous.

Cousins and Russell Wilson are recent. Yes, Brady and Brees have been out for just a little while though.

at Wilson. Developed in the ACC and borrowed one year by Wisky and all of a sudden he's a B1G product.

LOL at "developed in the ACC". Evidently he didn't think so, that's why he transferred. Odd how he goes to Wisconsin and breaks out and is suddenly a star.

 

[NU_FTW]

I put Nebraska, because i am trying to become as good of a homer as AG, OD, 4D20 and the rest of em!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

That isn't why he transferred. He transferred because Tom O'Brien wasn't going to play him over Glennon (even if Wilson returned to the football team), because Wilson was sitting out spring practice to play baseball.

Yeah, that great QB whisperer Bret Bielema had a lot to do with Wilson's development.

Good gawd...you are more of a B1G homer than a Buckeye one!

Ah, you would be correct. I did not know that. Well at any rate, he never excelled at NC State the way he did at Wisconsin.

He was never as good at NC State as he was at Wisconsin. Had he stayed there, he would've have even been drafted.

Yep

"In January 2011, Wilson announced that he would report to spring training with the Colorado Rockies organization.[46] NC State head coach Tom O'Brien expressed reservations with Wilson's decision, saying "Russell and I have had very open conversations about his responsibilities respective to baseball and football. While I am certainly respectful of Russell's dedication to baseball these last several years, within those discussions I also communicated to him the importance of his time commitment to NC State football."

O'Brien and his staff reached out to NFL coaches and general managers on Wilson's behalf, but he failed to receive an invitation to the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine.[47]

On April 29, 2011, O'Brien announced that Wilson had been granted a release from his football scholarship with one year of eligibility remaining."

Yeah old Bret is great with QBs.

He sure was with Wilson. Turned him into a 3rd round pick as opposed to not even getting an invite to the combine at NC State.

Must have been the QB coach. Oh yeah. Paul Chryst

We could lose both those games and we'd probably still win the West.
