B1G is now 4-3 straight up and 6-1 ATS.  Here is what is upcoming:

  • Michigan +13.5 vs Bama today at noon
  • Washington +2.5 vs L'Ville this afternoon
  • Illinois +10 vs USCe this afternoon
  • Penn State -11 vs Boise tonight
  • 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 eight and 11 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 seven 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 three (we are underdogs in all three).  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. 
Above updated for the Iowa result.

I appreciate the updates (above), but the old "conference record in bowl" thing seems, to me, to be, well, odd nowadays.

For one thing of course, we have many more post season matchups, some of which are inside the conference.  That used to be very rare.

Another thing is how clear it is now that there are two "super conferences" of roughly equal parity (ha) in football.  If Mizzou edges Iowa by 3, I don't think it means more than that the two teams are about equal, and Mizzou had a better record.

That Ohio St line is evidence of oddsmakers handicapping the handicappers. Sharps will eat that up

Especially Jalen Milroe. 3 first quarter turnovers: 2 fumbles and an INT. 4 TOs if you count him taking a Sack on 4th down.

Michigan up 16-0 to end first quarter:

On less than 75 yards of total offense, that is nuts!

Jordan Marshall and Fred Moore showing flashes. I think these dudes can be real big time players for the offense next year. 

Davis Warren still absolutely stinks. Ben Hall is…very bad. Need to see some other backs cause he ain’t it. Justice Haynes is a huge need in the porthole to pair with Marshall. Time to see the younger backs, give Kapanaa and whoever else some carries cause Ben Hall stinks. 

Oh Derrick Moore is a man child. TJ Guy is pretty damn good. Both are coming back. EDGE rusher going to be a position of strength in 2025.

at what point does Jadyn Davis get some run? Seen enough of Davis Warren and Alex Orji. Let’s see what the young kid has.

Yeah, Orji is actively in the portal.  I don't blame him, but you need to look to the future

Michigan was playing with their food on offense instead of trying to put the foot on the gas. We’ve got a ball game now. 

Davis Warren has to hit the bench here. Give Jadyn Davis some run and actually push the ball to the TE’s and Fred Moore. 

If Davis Warren is taking snaps and Ben Hall gets any carries from here on out Sherrone Moore should be on the hot seat. Like wtf are you doing guy? How much more mediocrity from these bums do you have to see before you make a change ?
