sung to a chorus of meh, DEPT...

I think it's pretty safe to say that the B1G conference Title is the equivalent of a participation trophy this year.

like...oh wow

Smart is a Bears fan.

oops, well it's never to late to come over to the light side of the force. Since Jay Cutler is always the MVP for the Pack in GB vs Chi games it's not too much of a stretch.

Yes Badgers win all tiebreakers for the BIG 10 TITLE. LMAO with a bunch of freshmen and a new head coach mid season.

Well they win it with a 5 team tie but not a 4 team if it's Insiana, Iowa, MSU and Wisconsin. Ironically I think Wisconsin needs Maryland to beat Illinois which is the exact opposite of what the previous poster said lol. Iowa needs a 4 way tie with Maryland, MSU and Indiana or a 3 way tie with MSU and Indiana

Maryland wins in a 5 team 13-5 tiebreaker

Maryland 3-2 (.600)
Wisconsin 4-3 (.571)
Iowa 3-3 (.500)
Michigan State 3-3 (.500)
Indiana 2-4 (.333)

Maryland is 2-2 now but in order for Indiana to have 5 losses, it would mean Maryland beats them.

Agreed. Aaron Rodgers finds a nut all the time.

Ah I was thinking Maryland was 2-3 now. Got it

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

And I had to double check. It doesn't matter how many games are in the equation. All that matters is the winning percentage. So 1-0 would beat out 7-1 in theory.

Wow, so the Badgers and MSU need to win out, Iowa needs to win vs Indiana and lose @ mich, Maryland needs to win @ IU and beat Ill and BOOM goes the dynamite. This is actually better odds than I though previously. The toughest one is UW at Purdue.

An interesting scenario is Iowa, Maryland, MSU and Indiana all finishing 13-5. In that instance Iowa and Maryland would both be 3-2 vs the others so I'm not sure how it's decides tgen. Probably whoever has the best record vs the 5th place team/teams?
A

Darn, Ill will not beat Maryland.

Here's the rules, I hope it doesn't come down to a coin toss.

I always thought it was logical when there is a tie after H2H that they should then include the non conf schedule.

Maryland cannot win....if Wisconsin wants to advance

it is straight winning percentage irregardless of number of games played.

3 way tie with Indiana/Wisky/MD, the TERPS win by virtue of being (2-1)
4 way tie with Indiana/Wisky/MD/Iowa, the TERPS win by virtue of being (3-1)
4 way tie Indiana/Wisky/MD/MSU, the SPARTANS win by virtue of being (3-1)
5 way tie Indiana/Wisky/MD/Iowa/MSU, the TERPS win by virtue if being (3-2)

Wisconsin needs to root for Illinois to beat MD on the road.

Well despite a shitty record.

It appears the gophers basketball team is not having any trouble finding slutty girls and getting laid.

Well, since Stone has a low IQ like the players from Minn I hope he posts a sex tape before the Ill game.

Rutgers has lost 16 in a row and 31 straight Big Ten games. In its 16 Big Ten losses this season, the Scarlet Knights are losing by an average of 22-plus points per game. - See more at: Tom’s Take: Honors, stock watch, top performers, notes & quotes

There could be a five team tie, but even if IU were to lose its last two I highly doubt the other four all take care of business, relax people.
