The Indiana Michigan game is terrific

Ms. Bielema sitting with all her friends.

Iowa is going to win but they are not a good team. I hope to God they don't make the playoff, they'd embarass the **** out of the B1G.

Glad Baylor lost. Not a fan of Big 12-no defense football.

I mean, they're going to have to beat Ohio State most likely to get in. I agree they'd be embarrassed but it'd be hard to argue with road wins against Northwestern and Wisconsin (even though we gave it to them) and a neutral win against Ohio State.

Yeah, the eye test keeps telling me that Iowa isn't worty...but when you compare the resume against the rest of the nation - who could you put in there over them?

It's kind of funny that the Badgers could very well finish 10-2 with the 2 losses coming to top 5 teams and the season will be considered a disappointment.

How is Northwestern rated in front of us, we lost to Alabama, they lost to Michigan, we should be in front of them. Maybe because they beat Stanford, we have no wins vs ranked team.

I'm not really sure what the love for Northwestern is - they had some nice wins early. Of course, it doesn't matter, as the teams play one another.

Northwestern is ranked down in the 40s area in Sagarin. Badgers (ranked 20) should take this, favored by 10, but the offense is a house of cards as usual if Clement isn't back.

i haven't followed college football too closely this year. But I know OSU returned an absurd amount of talent from last year, and they struggled with many close wins this year. Now they lose at home vs MSU when Cook is hurt? I don't get it.

Why has OSU struggled so much this year? I'm very surprised.

I honestly think it has to do with their character. Having your best players (Joey Bosa, Jalin Marshall and others) getting busted for marijuana before the season begins, then having your starting QB get a DUI during the season doesn't sound like a very responsible bunch.

So yeah they've had turmoil all season that really hadn't been reported much. The media kind of swept all their incidents under the rug. At the very least JT Barrett should have been suspended more than 1 game.

Painful loss by Arkansas. Love it

All that, combined with most of the team already having a championship ring.

Nebraska fails to convert a 3rd and 1 from the 20 down by 11 with 7 minutes left. Instead of taking the points to make it a one possession game, they decide that not only are they going to go for it, the play they're going to do is Tommy Armstrong throwing a fade to the end zone which predictably fails. How stupid are coaches?

Has anyone ever seen a fade route work to anything other than an elite WR?

There is just no room for margin on that play. Need a perfect route, perfect throw, and usually the receiver to out jump the corner while barely tapping his toes in bounds

Auburn beating Alabama and Florida State beating Florida would be amazing.

I hate ND.

Me too. Great game though.

Have to figure Big 10 winner gets into playoff. Oklahoma is in. If Alabama and Clemson win next week they should be in. But Notre Dames only loss is by 2 on the road at Clemson so they maybe should be in.

Hold everything. Stanford still has a shot!
