Hello Friends,
The BIG TEN is getting interesting in a boring way. Especially when this will be the last year with no BIG TEN championship game (thank God)......
Currently there are 3 teams tied for the conference lead.
Michigan State
Ohio State
Wisconsin.
Of course, none of these teams play each other the last few weeks of the season, which means that it is possible that we could have a three way tie...yawwwn, (actually they played eachother earlier in the season with Wisconsin losing to Michigan State and beating Ohio State)
Which would mean that the highest BCS ranking would go to the Rose Bowl. If the season ended today, Wisconsin would be going based on their leading BIG TEN BCS ranking of .725. Ohio State is .667 Michigan State is .606. Click here for the complete BCS Standings.
Mark this, THERE WILL NOT BE A THREE WAY TIE......
That nonsense will end this weekend......
Here are my predictions for this weekend BIG TEN play.. (home team in bold)
Penn State over Indiana (game played on neutral field)
* I just don't see Indiana recovering from their 83 point massacre Bucky dropped on them last week*
Michigan State over Purdue
* They will win this week but their overrated dreams will end next week*
Wisconsin over Michigan.
*Michigan's defense is horrible, it's impossible for them to hold an opponent under 30. Even though Bucky hasn't won in the big house since 1994, Wisconsin's defense will win this game*
Northwestern over Illinois
*Even with their starting QB out, I still like Northwestern*
NOEL's UPSET ALERT....
Iowa over Ohio State
*Even though Ohio State has had success @ Kinnick Stadium recently (winning six of its past seven). Iowa is ready to destroy some dreams as theirs may have been broken with the Northwestern loss. Ohio State will face the best defensive line they will see all season this weekend and you know Kinnick Stadium will bring the noise*
NOEL"S DREAM UPSET.....
Fresno State over Boise State.
*Being surrounded by Fresno fans (who haven't impressed me by any means) I did have a chance to watch Fresno State vs Nevada and realized that they aren't THAT BAD... Yes, I may be out of my mind but I think this game will be closer then what people think...
Give me your predictions and let's see who wins...

I think Iowa has the best chance at the upset for this weekends games in the Big Ten. I think Pryor is the most overrated QB in the country and should've stuck with his basketball career. If Iowa gets pressure on him he just tosses up the ball for a hope and a prayer, but with Iowa's Db's it will go the other way.
ReplyDeleteIowa over O$u
Illinois over Northwestern
PSU over Indiana
MSU over Purdon't
UW over Meatchicken
I feeling the purdouche bags over MSU, the purdouches seem to have streaks of brilliance on occasion.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE the fresno state shout out!! My jaw hit the floor when u said that u werent impressed by fresno state fans. u probably just met the doctor and lawyer fans. but i kno wat u mean, those CEO fresno fans can b obnoxious. but i cant help it, i luv me some fresno state. Mostly because i played high school ball with ryan colburn the fresno QB, but also because im from the valley and i cant help it.lol
