THE BIG 10 THREAD

[Across The Field]

Interesting that the respected B1G East Div goes 1-3 in their Bowls and the disrespected B1G West Div goes 4-1 in their Bowls. 5-4 overall Bowl record for the B1G.

East Winner:
Ohio State

East Losers:
Michigan
Michigan State
Penn State





West Winners:
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Iowa

West Loser:
Purdue

Well let PSU and MSU face Ga Tech and Miami instead of Kentucky and Florida. The 3 highest ranked opponents were all faced by the East.

Congrats to Iowa as the only B10 team capable of beating SEC teams this season.

Well fortunately we can count on Ohio State dominating the PAC (of late) and ND in bowls.

Haven't lost to a PAC team this decade, and we've beaten their conference champ 3 of the last 5 years.

Iowa had -15 rushing yards and still won. This is the 3rd time a Ferentz' Hawkeye team finished a game with negative rushing yards.

Any way too early predictions for 2019?

East Losers:
Michigan - LMFAO. great showing. I'm fully on board with your established "john cooper" coach you have there. now to be fair, it doesn't help when arguably the 4 best players on the team were not on the field makes a big difference. Those that think it shouldn't matter in evaluating the outcome of a game are completely full of shit.
Michigan State - pathetic. utterly pathetic....... not enough face palms available so I won't start.
Penn State - nice 4th quarter, maybe they should've been awake the 1st 3 quarters....... sad.


West Winners: - Nice job Westies...........
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Iowa

West Loser:
Purdue - I really want to make a comment, but the one that comes to mind would be taken very badly......

See comments above......

East looks good..I think. I'm not sure how to order PSU, michigan, and michigan State.

I think Northwestern falls a bit. Before Purdue got blown out, I'd say they would be third. Now, I'm not sure, but I think they still do finish ahead of Northwestern.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if Northwestern finishes higher than I have them. Their new QB should be an improvement on Thorson, and I believe they should return plenty on defense.

Iowa doesn't lose much . Think we've got 7 seniors we are losing of any value . Not sure on what everyone else loses but if expect Iowa win win 9 games plus next year assuming everyone comes back who us eligible to do so

Our defense looked solid as it did pretty much all year. Offense was atrocious as usual.

I think the bowl games as a whole were ULTRA lame this year. Both playoff games blew hobo cock. The other top ten matchups ended up being non competitive besides UK - PSU (which penn st made close in the 4th)

Not sure if the playoff games are taking the edge of out the bowl games or what, but it's tough watching games when only one team showed up or cares. I watched about a 1/3rd of the games compared to last year. Hope 2019 is a better year

and side note- I thought not having a Georgia-Ohio State matchup was a huge miss, even if Georgia lost to Tejas

There were maybe a hand full of teams actually worth being called better than good this year.

One of the most overall mediocre years I can remember in my conscious time watching college football.

Dantonio needs to do something about improving his offensive coaching staff. The problem is that Dantonio is similar to the late William Clay Ford in that he is a bit too loyal & friendly with his subordinates and is reluctant to make changes to the 'family'.

Must have been a day that ends in 'y'.
