huskerscott 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. Hey we lost to a team with a losing record at HOME. We have every right to be 'scared'. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The First B1G Title Game will feature two, two loss teams. Take it to the bank. You mean two conference losses, right? yes Agreed, pretty much bound to happen. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I also found out that I technically *do* qualify to win a Nobel Prize. Quote Link to comment

No, they've been playing two, McGloin and Bolden and neither can run well. Actually neither is a stunning passer Combined they've amounted to exactly zero yards rushing. Passing McGloin (gets the most snaps) is a 55% passer with 7 Int's and 3 TD's Bolden is a 43% passer with 4 Int's and 1 TD Quote Link to comment

But that's one week, one mistake. Tell me how Penn State has done it for 4 weeks and gotten away with it repeatedly. It's got to burn them at some point. 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% 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 If we win out, we don't have to worry about Michigan, so that info is irrelevant. Yes, MSU could lose to NW or Indiana as well. Even if you are extremely optimistic, you still don't get anywhere near your stated 50%. Mr. Extreme Optimist Guy Chances of beating PSU = 0.75 Chances of beating Michigan = 0.75 Chances of beating Iowa = 0.75 Chances of Iowa OR Northwestern OR Indiana beating MSU = 0.85 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.85 = 0.3586 (35.86%) Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I sure hope MSU does not win the division. They are not good. They got the benefit of playing OSU early; catching Wisc on a down week and the hail mary and their cross over game (IU?) is weak. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There just is no team that's the favorite at this point at least in my mind. Nobody is head and shoulders above the rest, hard to tell who deserves to win the divisions let alone the conference. Quote Link to comment
