BIG ERN Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I will edit the OP but as of now these would be the match ups for Championship weekend w/ some slight prediction adjustments if WI and OSU win this weekend. 5 more games leaves a lot of re-shuffling to be had. (1v1) Ohio St vs Northwestern (2v2) Indiana vs Wisconsin (3v3) Maryland vs Iowa (4v4) Rutgers vs Purdue (5v5) Michigan St vs Minnesota (6v6) Michigan vs Illinois (7v7) Penn St vs Nebraska 1 Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Pretty sure they stated they'd like to avoid rematches, so we would likely play Michigan and Minnesota would play Michigan State. Our most likely candidates for this game as it currently stands are Michigan, Michigan State, and Rutgers. Of course, if we can finish with 3-4 wins, we'd likely play against either Indiana or Maryland. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Why wouldn't Northwestern be playing OSU? 2 Quote Link to comment

Ohio State is currently in second place in the east with one fewer victory due to cancellation. 1 Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'd like to see a matchup with Rutgers, not only a high likelihood of a win but also to face off against Vedral would be cool to see. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 You just need 6 games to qualify for B10 title game so the one less game will not come into play if you hold the H2H win. I think Wisconsin beats NW and Ohio St beats Indiana this weekend. That is why I have them where they are... Quote Link to comment

That would be fun, and ending with a win would be nice. they're already not a pushover anymore, but I think it's clear they caught Michigan State (who is also not very good) by surprise more than anything. MSU/Maryland would be boring, but I'd love a shot at Michigan this year. And I'm really curious about Indiana - they've looked good, but I just don't believe in them. Their win against Penn State was similar to ours in the lopsided yardage. Indiana only had ~200 yards of offense and somehow pulled it out. Quote Link to comment

I think Ohio State wins but Indiana is playing pretty inspired football so maybe they make a game of it. Regarding NW and Wisconsin, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see NW win. Wisconsin hasn't played anyone with a pulse yet and NW is playing good enough defense to give anyone in the B1G not named Ohio State a good game. Quote Link to comment

Not that we as fans have any right to say this over the past 16+ years, but...Rutgers? At least give me a team with history. Now if you excuse me I have to go repair some broken windows in my glass house 1 1 Quote Link to comment

IDK Indiana had a 6 percent postgame win expectancy against Penn State and their offense has been pretty spotty. I think OSU crushes them. I'd love to be wrong though. Quote Link to comment
Old Nebraska Guy Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 You know IF Nebraska could win the next two games, very doable in my opinion, they could end up third in the West. Possibly tied with Minnesota but would have the head-to-head. Goofy Huh 3 Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Looks like Nebraska vs Rutgers or Nebraska vs Michigan Quote Link to comment

Or Michigan State, or Whoever. Quote Link to comment
