Hooked on Huskers Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 if winning out for the next three games. GO Hawkeyes ! (next weekend @ Iowa City against Spartans) Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Look, just beat Penn State....please Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
snell352 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 if winning out for the next three games. GO Hawkeyes ! (next weekend @ Iowa City against Spartans) 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. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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% Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Alternates.... The Optimist Chances of beating PSU = 0.55 Chances of beating Michigan = 0.55 Chances of beating Iowa = 0.65 Chances of Iowa beat MSU = 0.65 0.55 * 0.55 * 0.65 * 0.65 = 0.1278 (12.78%) The Pessimist Chances of beating PSU = 0.25 Chances of beating Michigan = 0.25 Chances of beating Iowa = 0.45 Chances of Iowa beat MSU = 0.45 0.25 * 0.25 * 0.45 * 0.45 = 0.0127 (1.27%) Quote Link to comment

Atbone95 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
