Didn't think Oregon was going to win after they played it safe and kicked the field goal. 

 

Seeing OSU fans try to cope with a loss is always worth it, even if it's only temporary. Especially after all that offseason talk about how Michigan winning it all made them so angry they were going to destroy everyone in their path. lol

Anyone know what the tiebreaker is in the Big Ten for the Big Ten championship game?  It was head to head as the first tiebreaker before which I assume is still true, but with the current setup there is a pretty good chance that tiebreaker isn't usable.

Classic Ryan Day malpractice 

Somebody needs to teach Day and Howard how to read a freaking game clock. Horrendous clock management in the last 30 seconds.

IU, Oregon and PSU the only remaining unbeaten teams in the B1G

Record against Common opponents of no head to head. If that’s a tie. Cumulative winning percentage I believe

Not many, if any, bigger corn balls in the country than PJ Fleck. Was hoping UCLA would pull that one out.

UCLA has now lost to MN, IU, LSU and Oregon and their worst loss has been to …..The Hoosiers.

UCLA has a really rough schedule. Won’t be surprised if they have a 2 win season.

Yeah, Fresno is their chance to see another W if they can keep it together til game 12. Even their winnable games are brutal road trips.

1. The tied teams will be compared based on head-to-head matchups during the regular season.

2. The tied teams will be compared based on record against all common conference opponents.

3. The tied teams will be compared based on record against common opponents with the best conference record and proceeding through the common conference opponents based on their order of finish within the conference standings.

4. The tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents.

5. The representative will be chosen based on the highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the regular season.

6. The representative will be chosen by random draw among the tied teams conducted by the commissioner or designee.

No wonder Aikman became a Hoosier fan.

Who da thunk?  11 still unbeaten and we're one of the 11.

7. If any of this screws Ohio State, an emergency meeting will be held to rectify that immediately.

I played the over on Ashton Jeanty’s yardage line tonight at 183.5. Just insanely bad value, but can’t put a price on feeling like I’m a part of history. Tell the grandkids about it some day. 

A sweat-free 217 yards. He was halfway to his line after 1 quarter lol. Just give him the Heisman and keep it moving.

This will 100% happen.  Please don’t get hopes up folks. Need them to lose again. Hopefully to us

Kevin Wilson will visit to crack some heads and to point out who to blame. No?  Never mind.

Their on-the-hot-seat-head coach will be Invoking the hallowed name of Woody and will give QB Will Howard a cheap Timex to commemorate the last play of the game and the loss.

Defensive Coach Jim Knowles will simplify the defense.  Instead of a 4-2-5, they will go to 11- 3...buying referees...against Penn State.  Who needs talent when you have the B1G and the referees in your pocket? Just like they did in the old days.

They are happy that they are idle all week.  Idle, just like they were on the big plays yesterday.

If they fix their play calling in the first half...and wake up...and not be hesitant on defense and..   Well, actually, if Oregon at OSU's 2 had run the ball twice...

No, they are top heavy.  Free fallin'...sleep walkin'...

Dexter Williams engineered a wild comeback win last night.

Just read that he was the backup, and came in essentially for the last couple drives, as the starter got hurt. Once he came in they marched, along with their defense forcing two fumbles. Wild. 

I would of thought he had the tools to start at that level. I remember at one point trying to mental gymnastics myself into thinking he could lead our team moving forward haha.
