2019 B1G season discussion

[BB73]

Welp....the west just got a lot more interesting.

Minny plays Penn State, so Wiscy can lose to us and still win the division with 2 losses.

Minny plays Penn State, so Wiscy can lose to us and still win the division with 2 losses.

They both have a November schedule full of tricky West games (Iowa may help determine who wins the West) besides the PSU/OSU games for each.

Good part is they settle it on the field last week of the year.

 

[Jaxbuck]

OSU/PSU for all the marbles 11/23 in Columbus

Minny has a 2 game lead with 4 to play...and could easily lose 3 of those 4.

I expect the usual amount of B1G West chaos. Iowa could still play a roll here.

I expect to see the Buckeyes playing Bucky again in Indy.

Fuck Bucky.

Fuck Bucky.

Probably

I can tell you with absolute certainty Bucky wants no part of a rematch in a dome.

They can outmuscle most teams who have a skill advantage on them. OSU is not most teams.

Minnesota only needs to win one of PSU or Wisconsin to clinch.
I think that's doable for them. PSU seems to be sleepwalking into Minneapolis ... already looking ahead to us.
While the Gophers are looking at it like a Super Bowl.

I'm all in... id rather beat Wiscy and Minny, than Wiscy twice.

The record of teams the week after they play OSU is terrible. Especially B10 opponents.

What is the record the same week teams play OSU? My guess is it's worse than the next week.

Think Iowa is gonna pull some fuckery and beat Nits.

Close game with a few questionable calls going against the pedsters. YES, PLEASE!

I'd prefer the former

That’s a whole lot of win right there.

So Minnesota beats State Penn to move to 9-0. Congrats on your best start in 115 years, Gophers.

Will anyone really be shocked if they lose at Iowa next weekend?

Not shocked but it won't surprise me if they win either.

If they do then the West is essentially theirs, only have to beat Northwestern.

Not even a little bit. Hell, I would consider putting money on Iowa next week. Road favorites after an emotional win is generally easy money.

 

[woofermazing]

Iowa will probably lose just to spite Wiscy.

Then Wiscy will beat Minny just to spite us, though I doubt we will need the strength of schedule at that point.

Yeap, id say that would be the norm in CFB at this point.
Would note... Iowa is also coming off a close emotional loss at Wisconsin.
