It's been awhile since I've started a topic so bare with me.... After yesterdays convincing win over MSU and what happened in Columbus, it seems that the race to the B1G 10 Champ. game is kind of wide open. Here is my take on it and what could possible unfold from here on out.... LEADERS DIVISION Penn State holds thier own destiny but they are going to start thier 'meat' of the schedule. I don't have anything personal against Penn State but they really haven't played anyone outside of Alabama. The Teams that are still legit chances for the CCG - Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin - Penn State doesn't either have them on thier schedule or hasn't played them yet! After watching the Illnoise game....WOW, get a field goal on this team and it's almost equivalent to a 1 touchdown cusion. They only have to win 2 of thier remaining games and they are in....hard to do but possible. Wisconsin, what can you say about them and the two hard fought loses the past two weeks..? Somehow a rematch with them seems not as daunting. Granted, Wilson will still be a bitch to defend but if MSU and OSU can play 4 quarters and eek out a win then why can't us. They need win out and need Penn State too stumble twice and they are in. Sounds more favorable for Wisconsin. Now the Buckeyes of Ohio State, with Braxton Miller seeming to getting into the groove as thier starting QB, thier a team that could very easily win out but would need help as well to propel them into the Championship game. On other message boards mentioned that tOSU is banned from the CCG but ESPN has them projected to a bowl game, not to sure what's the deal there? I give them a better chance to reach the CCG then Penn State but not over Wisconsin. LEGENDS DIVISION Michigan has to win out and hopes MSU loses once and they're in the CCG. With Nebraska and OSU still on the slate, I think they drop one of them (hopefully US). Dennard Robinson stays healthy and reduces his Completion/INT ratio then they will be hard to beat. MSU hopes are still alive after yesterday and thier schedule seems fairly winnable from here on out, but as bad as Iowa looked yesterday against the Gophers, they seem to give MSU a run for thier money. They stuble there and they'll be sitting at home watching the CCG. Nebraska, just like Penn State, holds thier own destiny!! Michigan seems to be the game that will make or break our inaugural B1G championship run. We get a touchdown or two on Penn State and our defense - the one that showed up yesterday - should be able to take care of the rest. Iowa......as posted on one of the MSU sites - anyone counting on Iowa winning in Lincoln is 'crazy'. Champion Game Wisconsin vs Nebraska - hopefully the results will be better the second time around. So tell me what you think and if there are anything I've looked over (Besides grammar and spelling!)....please discuss... GBR ps. This Big Ten season has been a great ride so far and Isn't this more fun than doing senarios with the likes of K-State, Mizzery and knowing that you have to play either Oklahoma/Texas in the CCG
