Mavric Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Wanted to do a poll for each game but it doesn't let me add that many questions. Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Rooting for 11-0 but I'm gonna go with 6-4. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It wouldn't be too hard to see the B1G getting blanked in bowl season but my best guess is 2-8. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 so far here are the individual game percentages: (with ten votes in) Ohio St over ND - 90% Mich over Florida - 80% Iowa over Stanford - 80% Northwestern over TN - 70% Minnesota over C Mich - 70% Nebraska over UCLA - 40% Indiana over Duke - 40% Mich St over Bama - 30% Wisconsin over USC - 20% Penn St over GA - 10% 1 Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This has happened in the past where B1G gets an extra NY6 (BCS) b/c of money (fan following fills the hotels). This ends up having a trickle down effect on the bowl match ups which could affect next year's polls & hype. B1G might get 3 wins but what if they were: MSU-Bama (no change) Iowa-Stanford (no change) OSU vs Florida Mich vs Tenn NW vs USC Wisc vs UGa PSU vs Duke IU vs C Mich Minn/Neb vs UCLA B1G probably goes 3-0 vs SEC and like 7-3 overall. I think the opposite will happen for PAC since they only have 1 playoff-NY6 team. They are going to have very favorable match ups. Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Big Ten ALWAYS plays bowl games at a disadvantage. California teams in California, Southeastern teams in Florida.....Even freakin' CMU gets a home game vs Minnesota! Most games are vs the other top-2 conferences in terms of money and power. 1 ACC, 1 MAC, no Big XII, no MWC, no Sunbelt. The record would be a lot more pretty if we scheduled more ACC bowl games. Midlevel ACC teams are a lot easier to beat. It is what it is, gotta win more than you lose. 3 Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Something that is oddly not considered as an advantage in CF is travel, yet it is this sport that has one the highest statistical advantages to those who do the least of it. The deck is fairly stacked against B1G in post season I'd say. 3-4 wins maybe. PAC 12 4 of 10 games in home state 4 of 10 in conference zone, 2 more are in a neighboring state so hardly a traveling stretch. Last year all but one game was played outside their territory(lost that one), so no coincidence they had the best bowl record, it's a bit more challenging this year. ACC 1 of 9 games in home state 4 of 9 in conference state. Big 12 2 of 7 in state and total 2 of 7 in conference. All games short hop in the south, Tenesee, Florida, Lousiana, arizona. Easy on travel for team and fans, but some however will be fairly hostile. SEC 3 of 10 in home state 10 of 10 in conference territory! Hmm, how about that, no advantage at all there. BIG 0 of 10 in state 1 of 10 in conference territory. 1 Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sucks a bit for Indiana as it looks like their kicker did actually make that field goal. Not reviewable since the kick was above the posts, (another odd pointless rule that supports inept refs). Looking from under and between the posts it looked like the ball passed on the inside. You be the judge.Link below. https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/069661ED9B1292691317734162432_46eaecdc6ca.5.0.4388884952079188040.mp4?versionId=xVOvAyZ2Muo31anaSXqwY_.Ypdo3lAhX Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 1-1 so far with two very good showings by Indiana and Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

The rule is a little ambiguous on an attempt over the upright but it seems to say it has to be inside and I don't see that from any angle. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 2-1 now! Thanks Minnesota, another 5-7 team that won its bowl game. 3-0! Quote Link to comment
