Maryland inexplicably plays the top teams in the conference tough almost every year. They don’t beat any of them, but it seems annually they were causing problems for OSU and/or UM
They always seem to have enough ballers to keep it competitive, but not enough to pull off the big win
1. Oregon 2. Ohio State 3. X georgia 4. X miami 5. Texas 6. Penn State 7. Tennessee 8. Indiana Tennessee plays at Georgia next week.
If OSU beats Indiana and then loses to NW or Michigan who plays in the B1G championship game between PSU and Indiana?
I think it would come down to stronger conference schedule. I would guess that is PSU but I don’t know that for sure.
Fuck this B1G+ bullshit so you’re telling me that I have to pay even more even if I subscribe to the B1G network
UCLA at Washington -3.5 Ohio State at Northwestern (Wrigley) +30 MSU at Illinois -3.5 Penn State at Purdue +28.5 Nebraska at USC -9 Rutgers at Maryland -3.5 Oregon at Wisconsin +14.5
You can get full conference or single school subscription prices. I only have access to the IU sports currently. I think it’s like 10 a month for that.
#Wisconsin Badgers We have some people asking about Madison recs -- food and drink. Where should they go?
cfb: here are some unclear, inconsistently applied rules meant for player safety also cfb: here's an unpadded brick wall one foot behind the end zone
Surely they are going to pad the wall? Wasn’t that an issue when they played Illinois there a decade ago and both teams had to drive toward the same end zone because of it? spagett do you remember?
That’s exactly what happened. And at one point there was a pick 6 which was the only score in the “short” end zone.
At least we don’t have to worry about Northwestern fans causing problems by being too close to the field, since none of them will be attending anyway.
Hypothetically, Oregon loses to Wisconsin (they won’t) and OSU beats Indiana, chalk holds everywhere else rest of the way… who goes to the B1G title game with 4 way tie for 1st?
B. If three or more teams are tied for first place in the standings, the following steps in Section B will be followed until a determination is made. After the head-to-head competition among the tied teams, if a tiebreaker step produces standings with a clear No. 1 team by itself among the tied teams, that team is selected for the championship game and the remaining teams still in contention revert to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker procedures (e.g., if there are three teams, the No. 1 team is in the championship game and the other two teams go to the first step of the two-team tiebreaker procedures; if there are four teams, the No. 1 team is in the championship game and the other three teams go to the first step of the three-team tiebreaker procedures, etc.). If a tiebreaker step produces results with two teams tied for No. 1, they are both selected for the championship game. To decide the ranking of the two teams, they will progress through the two-team tiebreaker procedures. If a tiebreaker step produces results with two teams tied for a position other than No. 1, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative. If the two teams did not play, move to two-team tiebreaker above. If three or more teams remain tied after any step, move to next step in tiebreaker with remaining tied teams. If a tiebreaker step produces results with one team being eliminated from proceeding to the next step in the tiebreaker process, the team that is eliminated shall not be pulled back into the tiebreaker for any future step(s). If all teams involved in the tie are tied after any step, all teams will continue to the next step in the tiebreaker procedures. 1. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage in games among the tied teams: (a) If all teams involved in the tie did not play each other, but one team defeated all other teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated all other teams in the tie is removed from the tiebreaker, and the remaining teams revert to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker process (i.e., two team or three or more team tie). (b) If all teams involved in the tie did not play each other and no team defeated all other teams involved in the tie, move to the next step in tiebreaker. 2. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage against all common conference opponents played by all other teams involved in the tie. 3. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage against the next highest placed common opponent in the standings in order of finish: 4. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents: (a) In the event of an unbalanced schedule (i.e., less than nine conference games are played), the records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents, regardless of how many conference opponents each team played. If winning percentage is equal for all conference opponents, move to next step in tiebreaker. 5. The representative will be chosen by the by the highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the regular season. 6. Random draw among the tied teams conducted by Commissioner or designee.
OSU really should focus on going up two scores as quickly as then just bleeding clock as much as possible and get out of Chicago without something very stupid happening
