They also beat PSU on the road albeit in a less dominating fashion then UM did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Michigan is very good for a B1G team. I think they suffocate teams like we have not seen in the B1G for a while. Their level of goodness is comparable to any team but Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they suffocate teams like we have not seen in the B1G for a while. Their level of goodness is comparable to any team but Georgia. But, in fairness, the Big Ten sucks. It really does. We've gone back to the Big 2 Little 8 days (Little 12 obviously). Penn State is the 3rd best team in the conference and they got their asses kicked by the top 2. And the Big Ten West.........what a joke, Illinois really had a chance to take a stranglehold against a bad MSU team who suspended 8 players and they shit the bed yesterday. Does anyone want that division? After the shitty seasons that WIsconsin and Iowa were having, watch - one of them will be in Indy - with a 7-5 (5-4 conference) record, while an 11-1 (8-1) Michigan or Ohio State team stays home. I wanted Illinois or Purdue to be in the Indy game - just to have someone different than boring old Wisconsin or Iowa, but we'll probably end up with the same old same old and they'll lose in Indy 45-10. Are we really expanding with USC and UCLA. Is that happening. Next year, and I know it won't happen, the Big Ten needs to realign for with a North-South set up. Move the Michigan-Ohio State game to early October............because with one of those two losing in the final week it seriously hurts the Big Ten's chances at 2 teams in the 4 team playoff. You cancel the Championship game (like the Pac 12 did) and it helps. When you have 6 or 7 weeks left after a loss you can likely climb back into the race. If we stick with East/West for 2024 we are going to end up with USC and only USC in Indy every year. And would they still have the game in Indy? Kind of unfair to the West Coast teams. I don't know. I feel like the USC/UCLA (and probably Oregon, Stanford, Cal and Utah) thing isn't really going to happen, because it shouldn't, but money will decide it all. If the Big Ten stayed at 14, My alignment would be Big Ten North Maryland Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Northwestern Purdue Wisconsin Big Ten South Illinois Indiana Iowa Nebraska Ohio State Penn State Rutgers 9 Conference Games 6 Division games + 2 nondivisional 1 Protected Rival Protected Rivals Maryland - Rutgers - Big East Teams Michigan - Ohio State - Border War Michigan State - Penn State - they've built it up now Minnesota - Iowa - Another Border War Northwestern - Illinois - State Bragging Rights Purdue - Indiana - More State Bragging Rights Nebraska - Wisconsin - The could play for the Big Red trophy, a Trophy that looks like a giant pack of Big Red gum - there you go, a corporate sponsor. With USC and UCLA.........I don't know........Could you split them in a North-South division? Or will they stay East-West and move Illinois or Northwestern to the East? I freaking hate this West Coast expansion. Is it likely going to look like this Big Ten West Cal Iowa Minnesota Nebraska Oregon Stanford UCLA USC Utah Wisconsin Big Ten East Illinois Indiana Maryland Michigan Michigan State Northwestern Ohio St. Penn St. Purdue Rutgers Talk about ugly. Would they have 10 conference games? 9 in Division and 1 out of division. It just doesn't make sense. We'd never play Wisconsin or Iowa again. I know they are only adding USC and UCLA right now, but that's going to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t mean Georgia is unbeatable, but it would take some breaks to beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we are definitely better than the rest of the field. OSU on the road might be a tough one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just want it at full strength. If they aren’t good enough at full strength, so be it. If they lose but there are questionable circumstances, that ain’t no fun. Both teams, undefeated, full strength, ready to go on a weather neutral day. And some cold beers at my disposal. Anyone with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that same schedule hurt them once they get there? They have played one quality team and only one quality offense. They have a good, talented team but it’s hard to tell what’s likely to happen when they get into it with another really good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comment on whether there’s any concern about how the SoS will prepare UM for the playoff and instead nitpicking whether Maryland is a quality offense or not. I’m not really interested in debating the merits of Maryland. The point is the same if I change my OP to say 2 quality teams offenses instead of 1.

If they make the playoff with wins over Ohio State, Penn State, Illinois and Maryland, and whoever they'd play in the Big 10 championship game, that's plenty of challenges to prepare them for a #2-#3 matchup against a TCU or Oregon or USC. And you can say that about any 0-loss or 1-loss team any except Georgia and Tennessee. Ohio State? Has beaten Penn State and Notre Dame so far. Oregon? UCLA only, maybe Washington State as a stretch. TCU? Oklahoma State and Kansas State, and neither is as good as Penn State. USC? Oregon St. and maybe Washington State, neither as good as Penn St. Edited November 6, 2022 by lordstanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Lol. None of those teams are making it. Maryland sucks. Why does everyone here love them. They have one semi-quality win over an ok SMU.

It was about who have they played and how often they challenged themselves against a good team prior to the playoff. All of the SEC teams have multiple times. All of the Pac-12 teams will have done it multiple times. TCU has done it multiple times. On a side note, why is Penn State so amazing. They are good but K-State, OK State, and even Oregon St playing with their backup QB have all looked similar against much tougher schedules.
