DrinkinwitTerrellFarley Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I would have liked a bye week buffer for Covid-19 issues that might crop up but thankful for rapid testing, Notre Dame getting the ACC to play, and Nebraska being relentless in getting to play or asking Big Ten brass to provide full transparency on why they are not. Evidently, playing was a better option than revealing their flawed metrics. #GBR! 2 Quote Link to comment

Its better TV for NU to play OSU. This is my prediction. Purdue @NW Illinois @OSU PSU @Iowa @Wiscy Minny 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Are we going to match up with a lower team in the East after we play in the Big Ten Championship or before? 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Rutgers stuns the world and makes it to the CCG against us. Pat Forde in shambles. 1 3 Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 This will be the one year NU wins the B1G...and the B1G won't be eligible for the CFP Quote Link to comment

The schedule laid out today was to ensure Big Ten teams would be considered for the playoff. Quote Link to comment

But what if the B1G only plays like 5-6 games? Not like there's a chance for makeup games. Quote Link to comment

If the top teams are only able to get 5 or 6 games in, it will be difficult to compare them to other teams who have played 9 or 10 games. Quote Link to comment

I kinda get the feeling that nobody is going to play their full schedule in any of the conferences 1 Quote Link to comment
