Big Ten Championship Game

That was a great game. Think the Big Ten Championship has mostly been great matchups with close games. Bias here- but I love having it in Indy and it's been well received. Saw a bunch of Buckeyes.

That McSorely kid just started carving up a lost Wisconsin secondary. I don't think Wisconsin is going to want to come back to Indy for a while- 2014 (59-0 drubbing), 2015 (BBall Championship), and now blowing a lead to Penn State. Ouch Badgers.

Also, Wisconsin really really needed to commit to the run more from my eyes in the seats.

Penn State is a damn good team. Locked them down for 3 points in the 2nd half, big stop on 4th down (there was a big hole as the Wisky back ran right at where I was sitting...closed quick thanks to a missed block and great play from the LB). And their offense has found a groove with their passing game + Barkley.

Both teams good, not great. Though, I would take Penn State against most others in top 10 (Not Bama, OSU or Michigan however).

I really, REALLY don't think PSU winning tonight in the fashion they did to be an attribute.

Great teams, top 4 teams should be able to mount a comeback (see: "the game") but in no way should a team be down by 21 - TWENTY ONE! - points with a possible shot at the playoffs on the line. The committee is well aware this type of comeback isn't possible against any top 4 team (maybe Washington).

Rest easy guys, were in.

The biggest thing anyone could talk to me about at the game yesterday was how horrible sales and turnout looked. It was nothing short of laughable. I had multiple employees tell me how much they were wishing Ohio State could be in the game. The dollar amount lost in tips alone was a shame.

There were a number of people attending the game who asked me why I was there and I took great delight in telling them that tickets were cheaper than gas money.

Fuck Ped State. Wisconsin and (I'm ashamed to admit this) even a few scUM attendees I spoke to were very classy and the back and forth was kept respectable. However, I came close to slugging it out with 3 different obnoxious PSU fans on 3 separate occasions, two of which included actually putting hands on them to get my point across. I'm still baffled by their lack of tact. The wife was not pleased with that. I wish them and their program nothing but the worst.

We get no credit for beating the BIG XII Champion on the road while Ped lost to Pitt? Please.

If thats the case, stop playing OOC games then.
This is a big point...they want to talk about ratings, if it turns out that winning games like OU don't help, then big teams will stop scheduling them. It will be back to the days of 3 Sun Belt teams for 3 gimmie wins.

Wisconsin, c'mon. I've never asked anything of you before. I just asked you to dispatch with PSU so that OSU's playoff spot was that much more secure. So, you are firmly in control of the game at half, I fall asleep, and wake up around midnight to find that you have been outscored 24-3 in the 2nd half. Thanks. You are unreliable, dang you.

Everyone forgetting precedent as well.. see Bama vs LSU... Bama didn't win the Conf or division... and lost the head to head... - "yes that was BCS" BSC was still 2/3s people the rankings back us up. I believe we are in. If we are out.. lord have mercy on whoever we play

So if Ped gets left out, it won't be the B1G screwing them. They "won" (or whatever you want to call it) the conference. Surely they will say they won it in spite of the B1G having it out for them, but if they don't get in, it will be the nation that has it out for them.

The nation does have it out for them. Question is, will the committee? One would hope they have sense enough not to soil the CFP by including cesspoolU.
