I wondered what the hell was with BTN. They opened the season with the Bucks as favorites, then the reaction following the Minnesota and Oregon games, and the Bucks became an afterthought as the network began pushing Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa, then Sparty and Michigan, acting like Ohio State was out of the picture. Then 'boom!' the Bucks crush Indiana and suddenly they're the team to beat.

Watched the B1G 60-minute replay of the Rose Bowl last night. They usually do a good job on these compressed replays, but not so much on this one. They skip from 9:29 left in the first quarter, with the score 7-0, to the start of the third quarter with the score 35-21. So, they missed four Utah touchdowns and three Buckeye touchdowns. I know this is a first world problem, but I'm going to complain anyway.

Props to Howard Griffith on his first B1G predictions on BTNs inaugural… Watch out for Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota… they’ll pull some upsets in 2007.

Illinois? Yeah. We know (as much as we drink to forget).
Indiana? Beat Iowa in Iowa City and beat Purdue in the last game of the season under first year coach Bill Lynch to fulfill Terry Hoeppners promise to “Play 13” and go to a bowl game for the first time since 1993.
Minnesota? Went 1-11 under Tim Brewster.

As the famous poet Meat Loaf once said, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
