MSU vs Nebraska

Spartnmack you're hands down the most negative person I've ever seen.

I'm ok with people mistaking my realism for negativity - especially when those accusing me of it say things like:

...Put the top 3 teams of the big ten against any other conferences top 3 and I'll take the big ten every time.

That is beyond drinking the Kool Aid. At least nobody can accuse you of being overly negative.

I'm just happy we beat Nebraska on the road. I just think we've gotten spoiled which is a good thing, we're comparing ourselves to what SEC teams would do vs Northwestern, Minnesota, and Iowa
 
Reminds me a lot of JR from the ESPN boards.

he had some great arguments, like


bowl records were the best way of judging a coach, winning the BWW bowl was more impressive than losing the BCS title game

Dunking mattered for big men in basketball, suton shot 65% but didn't dunk a lot so that was a problem

big men should never develop their outside game, they had to dump it down and play back to the basket. there was no benefit of stretching the floor, he'd have a field day with Payne shooting 3's.

he had some good points too but his logic was "unique" at best

He'd probably think you are not a "Spartan," either. He had a concept of what that was that no one else could understand. Of course, it's totally foreign to me in any event. But he said that Earvin was not a "Spartan" because he left school after two years.

What I meant by that is that the big ten would at least win 2 out of the 3 matchups.
I'll start with the Acc
Fsu - OSU
Clemson - MSU
Duke? - Wisc

Sec
Bama - Osu
Mizzou - MSU
South Carolina - Wisc

PAC 12
Oregon - OSU
Stanford - MSU
UCLA or USC? - Wisc

You tell me who wins those matchups..

He loved referring to Suton as "she" or "her".

He loved to rip on Bo for his bowl record. (5-12) ... but I'll go with 5-11. Disappointing, but he had some notable wins.

Here you go...

ACC - fsu beats osu 4 out of 5 times - they have 3 nfl receivers, a great offensive line and a much better defense. Clemson is no gimme for State. Wisco probably beats duke. Advantage ACC

SEC - it's bama, auburn and mizzou not so car. Bama destroys an all star team made up of the best players of the top 3 B1G teams. Auburn probably but not definitely beats msu and same for mizzou vs wisco. Plus LSU beats MSU or wisco 7 of 10 times and they've lost 3 games and Texas A&M, so car and a now healthy Georgia are nowhere near definite wins for any B1G team. SEC hands down.

PAC 12 - Oregon hangs 50 on osu's defense and wins by no less than 10. Stanford edges out MSU and UCLA or USC prob beats wisco (wisco is 1&3 against the PAC 12 with the win coming against Oregon state in 2011). Advantage PAC 12

You forgot the big 12 but Baylor waxes osu and Texas or Ok State probably takes one game against MSU or wisco. Advantage Big 12.

Just like I'm predicting the big ten would win most of those games you're predicting they would lose. I just don't see how everyone kills OSU for only beating 1 currently ranked team when Bama and Stanford are the only teams in the top 10 with 2. FSU only beat Clemson who in my opinion is flat out overrated.

It'll all play it self out, the big ten has 7 eligible teams to go bowling if I'm not mistaking, I guarantee now they will go 5-2.

For me it's equal parts being unimpressed with osu (i dont think they're measurably better than msu or wisco - they easily could have lost 4 games last year and this year wisc, NW and Iowa all gave them a game) and fsu playing really well - they have a ton of nfl talent. The noles' closest game was a 14 pt win on the road. The next closest game they won by 27.

It may play out - a lot has to happen for osu to get a shot at at fsu, bama or Baylor - oddly enough bama and baylor seem to have the toughest road to championship game from this point. And hopefully it will be the Spartans in Pasadena. We'll see but based on history and what I've seen so far this season, I'm not betting on the B1G in the post season.

I will definitely take the under on 5 bowl wins for the B1G.

It depends on if we get two in the bcs, that will push everyone up a slot and opponent
