Don't look now but, B1G is doing surprisingly well:

  • Indiana lost but they were a 14.5 point dog and lost by 10
  • Penn State was a big (21.5 point) favorite and won even bigger
  • Ohio State was favored by 7 and won by 25
  • Rutgers was a 7.5 point dog and lost by a FG
  • USC was a 3.5 point dog and won by 4
  • Nebraska was a 3.5 point favorite and won by 5
All six beat the spread and we are 4-2.

B1G is now 4-2 straight up and 6-0 ATS.  Here is what is upcoming:

  • Iowa +2.5 vs Mizzou this afternoon
  • Michigan +13.5 vs Bama tomorrow at noon
  • Washington +2.5 vs L'Ville tomorrow afternoon
  • Illinois +10 vs USCe tomorrow afternoon
  • Penn State -11 vs Boise tomorrow night
  • Ohio State -2.5 vs Oregon NYD
  • Oregon +2.5 vs tOSU NYD
  • Minnesota -7.5 vs VaTech Friday night
  • Oregon/Ohio State winner vs Texas/ASU
  • Penn State (assuming they beat Boise) vs UGA/ND
  • Oregon/Ohio State winner vs PSU/Boise/UGA/ND
  • Penn State (assuming they beat Boise and UGA/ND) vs Oregon/Ohio State/Texas/ASU


Underdogs in Bold.  

So we have between nine and 12 games remaining.  We also already know that we will go 1-1 both straight up and ATS in the Rose Bowl since we are on both sides of that.  In the eight known match-ups the B1G team is only favored in three and one of those is against another B1G team.  

A realistic though perhaps somewhat optimistic hope:
  • Win one of the next four (we are underdogs in all four).  That gets us to 5-5
  • Penn State beats Boise.  That gets us to 6-5.  
  • Rose Bowl gets us to 7-6.  
  • Minnesota beats VaTech.  That gets us to 8-6 with PSU and the Oregon/Ohio State winner still playing.  
At that point we could do no worse than 8-8 with two teams in the CFP Semi-Finals and we could do as well as 10-9 with an all-B1G CFPCG.

did Iowa's offense evolve in bowl practice?

OR

Does the Tigger's SEC defense suck that badly?

I mean the Hawkeyes have only punted ONCE!!!!

The tactic didn't work at all so far this year, I stopped keeping track.

14-12 on non-playoff dogs. I forgot to reload on the independence bowl, so I think I’m a hint up. 

(Though I accidentally bet a couple of playoff games, so that was a loss)

I've been at work, but I just watched the replay of Iowa's 4th down attempt. Makes me feel a little better about the Badgers' stoopit 4th down tries this season. WTH was that?!?
