OK, Wake Forrest the #1 team last week didn't lose; in fact they beat both Duke (4-0) and UNC (4-0). How did they drop to 3rd behind Ohio State and Texas?

Tomorrow it is #26 USC.

Just sayin':
Re: 19 Straight B1G Titles
In conference play Sparty is 9-0 (with 4 games to play) and the Bucks are 7-1 (with 5 games to play)

Buckeyes dropped a close one to Sparty 4-3.

Won the doubles point with an 11-9 tiebreak deciding it, but lost 4 of the singles matches.

That loss at home to Sparty (after wining the doubles point) really sucked.

Boy it sure seems that these guys play the best of the best all season and still dominate!

Yup
It sure looks like msu has the big regular season title locked up with just 4 conference matches which except for TSUN should be easy wins.
Sparty started the season with some injuries, took some big hits because of key players missing in the lineup but got healthy just in time to pull upsets against Illinois, USC, UCLA and at The good guys.
counting me as torn between …
1. pulling for a TCUN win over sparty with a shared title or
2. content with the cheaters programs demise.

Huh, would not have expected MSU to be winning the conference! Don't think they'd have even made my top 5....good for them though, nice to have some new blood out there.
