You know still 50-50 chance to qualified CCG

We just lost at home to Northwestern. In our house to freaking Northwestern. I'd say the odds of beating Penn St. and Michigan both on the road are very slim.

Temper the expectations folks. Your only setting yourselves up for disappointment.

 
I just hope our defense stays far away from Mr. Sandusky. We couldn't fight off Northwestern, they might not be able to fight off the Penn St. chimo.

 
Hello Little Ceasers Bowl. I hear Detroit in December is a great place for a bowl game. Can't wait to take on that Juggernaught Northern Illinois.

how is it 50-50? Michigan St. has to lose a game period and we have to win all of ours. They have Iowa, Indiana, and Northwestern. We have Penn St., Michigan, Iowa. I would say the odds are 75-25. We have a shot but very slim. We don't have any games left we say we could out right win.

 
Basically if Iowa beats MSU next weekend. The whole legends divsion becomes one giant cluster f#ck, with 4 teams with 2 losses heading into the final two weeks.

 
Chances of beating PSU = 0.45

Chances of beating Michigan = 0.45

Chances of beating Iowa = 0.55

Chances of Iowa beat MSU = 0.5

0.45 * 0.45 * 0.55 * 0.5 = 0.0557 (5.57%) ≠ 50%

Mr. Stat guy, you forgot a couple of key variables

Spartans faces Northwestern @ Chicago venue and vs. Indiana...... is given (but never know)

Wolverine faces tOSU and Illini @ Champagne

Why the hell are people scared of Penn State? I'm sorry, but a team who can only beat Temple by 4 points?! Indiana by 6?! Purdue by 5?! Illinois by 3?! I don't see where this fear is coming from.
