runningblind Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I don't know why you all are so butt hurt we have to play OSU so much, we literally can't beat anyone in the conference consistently. We just went 1-8. I don't care who the opponent is if we can't even make a bowl. The issue is internal, not external. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

No one said we would be B10 Champs if we didn't play Ohio St...its the fact they are 80-5 in conference over the past 10 years so it's basically an auto loss if you play them in a crossover game. Which makes it much harder since it counts towards your record to try and win the division. It will never be exactly even but the big gaps in who plays who has been laughable. 5 Quote Link to comment

That's domination. I can only think of losses to Michigan and Purdue. Didn't Maryland take them to OT one year? So with that trend, it's pretty reasonable to anticipate Ohio State and one lucky foe for the yearly CCG. Might as well be the next best team. Well, unless it's a rematch. I wouldn't be interested in that. Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure Penn State beat them during the year they won the Big Ten. 1 Quote Link to comment

Two and a half decades ago I would have looked forward to a match-up with OSU almost every year but now I'd be happy if we could take few years off from playing them and maybe substitute a team like Maryland.

nic Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Interesting idea about having showcase games on CCG weekend. 1 v 2, 3 v 4, and so on for all 14 teams with the caveat that teams don't play each other if they already played during the season. https://mgoblog.com/content/case-big-ten-showcase Quote Link to comment
