That was dreadful. Almost the catch of the season and we are watching the QB chill out on the sideline.

The Iowa jugglenob has been thwarted

Some really bad camera direction on the last pass 

It was a lovely parallel of the game, wasn't it?

So, am I right at looking at the B10 West and seeing all of the 3s and 4s in the conference loss column amongst 5 teams and assuming that all 5 of those teams have a chance to "win" the division?

And further, when has the loser of the B10 championship game been awarded a bowl appearance in Detroit?

The B1G West Loser Bowl brought to you by participating Little Caesars franchises.   Good luck playing a MAC team that wants to knock your head off for talking smack about their school.

Only Iowa, Purdue, and Illinois have a shot. Wisconsin and Minnesota can tie, but they lose the tiebreakers.

It’s Purdue if they beat Indiana.

It’s Illinois if they beat Northwestern and Purdue loses to Indiana.

It’s Iowa if both Purdue and Illinois lose.

somehow the big ten west teams will figure out a way to tie and throw it all into confusion.

I hope it works out 11 games a year. Nebraska should be a perennial Big Ten West contender.

This won’t work.  Rhule is the next Bobby Petrino.    I predict he’s coaching at Missouri St. in 5 years.

South Carolina and Clemson has been a lot of fun to watch.

Think I jinxed Clemson there.

[Deleterious]

Impressive two weeks for South Carolina.

Indiana with the lead on Purdue in the 1st and then their QB goes down.

[Hongbit]

USC/Notre Dame - The greatest intersectional rivalry in the land has meaning again.   Ohio St. getting blown out at home opens the door for USC.  Caleb Williams has the Heisman for the taking too.    I think its going to be a tight one that goes down to the end.

if michigan loses to purdue do they get jumped by a 12-1 usc?

i imagine not.  i think a michigan loss in that scenario might just mean the buckeyes would be definitely out.

if usc goes 12-1, does it jump ohio state?

[buddha]

so if this were the old days, it would be michigan-usc in the rose bowl, tcu in the orange bowl against.....bama?  lsu?  and georgia in the sugar bowl against ohio state.

Michigan is in. TCU is in, likely even if they lose next week. If USC goes 12-1, they will get in over Ohio State. What about if LSU beats Georgia (and TCU remains undefeated)? Only one of those two SEC teams should get to go over a 12-1 USC.

Yes -   USC would be Pac12 champ with 3 consecutive ranked wins to end the year.   Their wins would be better than the Bucks and the loses would be similar. 

[lordstanley]

Another nice side perk of Michigan's win is we don't need to cheer for Notre Dame tonight. I'd be perfectly content with Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC.

[Hongbit]

USC and LSU have very tough roads.  Neither are likely to make it.    Odds would still seem to favor OSU making it in at 4.

[buddha]

in a short spam of time i went from rooting for notre dame to rooting against notre dame.

phew.  i was worried there for a minute.
